POPS
Fred Phelps's organization (the "God Hates Fags" pastor) has decided God hates Jews, too

 I find this choice of photo pretty curious. "Some Jews Will Repent" is a pretty tame slogan compared to the other ones quoted in the article, such as "Rabbis Rape Kids" and "God Hates Jews."

 A little profile of the "urban tactical skills" training program OnPoint. If you take their $550 course, you can learn how to escape kidnappers and other bad guys, which apparently many people believe will be a useful skill in some not-too-distant future dystopia. Thank you to Rob M. for posting.

H1N1 and religion: ritual improvisation and public health

 A roundup of some changes made to ritual and liturgy in Montréal, Toronto, and elsewhere in Canada as strategies of counteracting the spread of the flu. The piece has a slightly puffy, amused tone, but I think this is pretty interesting, especially for what it implies about the value of ritual and community as opposed to discourse and information (e.g., if the epidemic gets worse, expect churches to tell everyone to stay home and get their sermons via podcast).
