The interwebs are abuzz about how actor/heartthrob/portrayer of odd roles/occasional vocalist Johnny Depp got in a little trouble recently. Apparently Captain Jack did some backup vocals for a song about Jesus getting drunk at a bar, prompting some Christian groups to announce that Depp is destined to burn in hell.

Muslim media maven Reza Aslan had this to say:

Meanwhile, CNN ran an opinion piece yesterday by Tony Perkins – president of the conservative-leaning Family Research Council – about the Occupy Wall Street movement. He argued “Jesus was a free marketer, not an occupier.”

But others – such as Garrett FitzGerald of The Religious Left and (as RNS reported) the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams – did not agree.

Oh, and it’s the most wonderful time of the year! That’s right – it’s time for the War on Christmas!

Yesterday megapastor Rick Warren tweeted his distaste for stores that leave the Jesus out of Christmas…

âÂ?¦While Sojourner’s God’s Politics blog offered their own take, urging people to “hide baby Jesus“…

And Jon Stewart of The Daily Show opted with the Take No Prisoners approach, and actually declared (satirically) war on Christmas.

Finally, your Video of the Day is brought to you by “Divine Comedy,” a sketch comedy group from Brigham Young University. The mostly-Mormon school has encountered some controversy lately having to do with skinny jeans and dress code, but this group just wants to poke a little fun at “Provo Girls” (BYU is in Provo, Utah).
