Mother Jones has a profile up about Reverend O’Neal Dozier, a pastor who runs the Worldwide Christian Centor in Pompano Beach, Florida, who currently serves as the honorary chairman of Rick Santorum‘s Florida campaign. Dozier is a well-known social conservative who obviously shares many of Santorum’s views on issues like gay marriage, but has made rather controversial statements that have raised people’s eyebrows over his connections to the GOP candidate.

On Friday’s edition of The Five, Eric Bolling criticized President Obama for omitting reference to God in his Thanksgiving message. “I feel terrible — I absolutely think he should’ve had some sort of mention,” Bolling argued. “We’re thankful to whom? About 86% of the country believes in some form of a God — whether it’s Christianity or Islam or what not.” Panelist and former White House press secretary Dana Perino came to the President’s defense…

In his last New Rule of the evening, Bill Maher argued that Christian populism and anti-intellectualism have been steadily growing in the Republican party, and that one of the core beliefs of the religious right in America today is that “knowing things has become an affront to the all-knowing.” Maher decided if the Republican party wanted to nominate a devoutly Christian candidate, they might as well nominate Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann appeared on CBS’ Face the Nation today, and was asked by moderator Bob Schieffer about her recent comments about God and Hurricane Irene and if she truly believes that God sends messages through the weather.

Michele Bachmann declared that last week’s earthquake in DC and the damage done by Irene are a message to politicians from God.

Ms. Bachmann, some questions.

And now we turn to The 700 Club‘s resident seismologist, Pat Robertson. Take it away, Pat!

It has been a while since religious personality and serial end-of-the-world predictor Pat Robertson warned that God would smite America over things he didn’t like– since last January, from our records. This week, Robertson’s fear that America will be destroyed has been stirred by New York legalizing same-sex unions. On the 700 Club this week, Robertson reminded his audience that the last city known for homosexuality, Sodom, had residents willing to rape visiting angels.

Finally, the Republican-run Congress will do what the Democrats couldn’t; make new jobs. A powerful bill is set to be voted on by the full House after being passed by the Judiciary Committee last week. This legislation will reaffirm “In God we trust” as our national motto and support slapping the slogan on the side of all federal buildings. So, yes, unemployed people who formerly made building signs for a living, you’re gravy train just came in. As for the rest of you…well, I bet the army’s hiring.

Last night, Stephen Colbert made light of the attacks Anderson Cooper has received in Cairo, jokes which, this morning, we proposed were inappropriate. Fortunately, after that segment, the Comedy Central host turned to a lighter subject: the existence of God. Colbert showed a clip of Bill O’Reilly’s recent response to the critics of his much derided “God is real because the tides go in and out” quote. However, O’Reilly’s new explanations for the existence of God only soothed Colbert for a minute. The more he thought about it, the more questions it seemed to bring up. Soon Colbert had pulled out his trusty handgun and was contemplating suicide. Oh no! Could this have been O’Reilly’s plan all along?!

Are you there, God? It’s me, Google Street View. Gawker thinks they may have found an image of “God and His only begotten Son” hovering above a lake in Switzerland. The picture is on the grainy side (we demand HD, Google — HD!), and Gawker’s close-up of the potentially holy blur (below) is equally inconclusive. But if it really is you-know-Who in the picture, one can’t help but wonder: Where does that highway lead?

Since 2006, when news of his involvement in the Jack Abramoff scandal broke, political activist (and onetime candidate for Georgia Lieutenant Governor) Ralph Reed has stayed out of the spotlight. But now, that’s changing—thanks to a bit of divine intervention facilitated by Fox News veteran Sean Hannity.

Among the many things the “far left” get called regularly on the morning show Fox & Friends, god-fearing was never quite that high on the list. But host Gretchen Carlson argued precisely that this morning: not that liberals fear God, but that Speaker Nancy Pelosi‘s repeated use of the phrase “The Word” to describe her adherence to the gospel proves that “people on the far left can’t say the word ‘God.’”

The Country Music Awards were this weekend and, according to Fox and Friends, the big winner was…God! Yup, producers at the Fox News morning show edited together numerous clips of award winners thanking “the big Guy upstairs,” which lead Steve Doocy to openly wonder why “we don’t see that at the Oscars or the Grammy’s?” Because everyone that lives in Hollywood is a godless heathen. Duh!

It’d be an easy joke to say that Sarah Palin is comparing herself to God in this clip of the former governor of Alaska at Right to Life fundraiser on March 5th. But considering her audience, there’s really nothing that outlandish about drawing an analogy from the Bible to apply to your situation. What is ridiculous is that she’s still defending her cheat-notes after mocking Obama for using a teleprompter. So before all the blogs jump on this as “SARAH PALIN CALLS HERSELF GOD” let’s remember that old saying about “Let he without sin write the sensationalist headlines.”

How much is your Facebook page worth to Facebook? Probably a few hundred dollars, according to a Facebook app, Viral Loop, that’s collecting data as it is promoting a book of the same name. How much are celebrities’ pages worth? For many, hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars.
