Women Preachers Kept Out of Sight
More than 100 Christian bookstores hid the new issue of Gospel Today behind the counter because the cover features five female pastors.
Why did they hide them, you might ask?
Well naturally they hid them because Southern Baptists believe it is offensive and unChristian to let women preach, dummy.
Maybe if the women had worn burkas, the magazines could have been openly displayed?

Sarah Palin promotes the young earth myth
Soon after Sarah Palin was elected mayor of the foothill town of Wasilla, Alaska, she startled a local music teacher by insisting in casual conversation that men and dinosaurs coexisted on an Earth created 6,000 years ago -- about 65 million years after scientists say most dinosaurs became extinct -- the teacher said.

Though in her race for governor she called for faith-based "intelligent design" to be taught along with evolution in Alaska's schools, Gov. Palin has not sought to require it, state educators say.

Jezebel
Jezebel: The Untold Story of the Bible's Harlot Queen by Lesley Hazelton suggests that Jezebel was slandered for her polytheistic views rather than for her sexual behavior. Apparently "harlot" was a code word for "idol-worship". She was a Phoenician princess who brought her beliefs with her when she was married at the age of 15 to the king of monotheistic Israel.
Hazelton portrays Jezebel as a model of a tolerant and sophisticated Phoenician culture and Elijah as a fanatic who engineered the destruction of Israel in pursuit of regressive, religious purity.

Silly Religion in the News
Sarah Palin, Republican candidate for VP, was chosen by God's representative (her Assembly of God pastor) to become governor Alaska. By a laying on of hands and prayer, he successfully got her elected according to her. That same pastor successfully drove a witch out of a village in Kenya. Said witch had been accused of causing automobile accidents by casting spells.
I say we cast said pastor into a deep lake and see if he floats.
So much for silly Christians in the news, here's what silly Jews are doing:
Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn are demanding that officials remove two bicycle paths that pass through their neighborhood. Their religious sensibilities are offended by the "sexy" clothing of some of the female riders - you know, tank tops, tight fitting pants, etc.
Not to be left out of the silly news are Muslims in Saudi Arabia where a cleric put out a hit (a fatwa?) on Micky Mouse who he accuses of being Satan's soldier. He claims that Micky Mouse is trying to trick Muslim children into loving mice.
Sorry, I couldn't find any silly Buddhists or Hindus for today's report. I'll keep looking.
