Yesterday, Daniel P. was sentenced to six years of hard prison time. His wife Nadine was sentenced to three years probation. Their atrocities against children were of an extreme gravity.

Religion as a Virus: Dawkins on Religion

Religion as a Virus: Dawkins on Religion

Comments 2 comments

Richard Dawkins (Oxford prof., father of meme theory, author of The Selfish Gene) argues against irrational, militant religion in the two-part Channel 4 UK documentary “The Root of all Evil?” (Jan. 2006). Dawkins goes too far by including all forms of faith – not all are in direct contradiction to independent thought and constructive doubt! (Please chime in on this – esp. Progressive Faith Bloggers!)

The JW prohibition is on the partaking of blood, as in accepting a blood transfusion or varying human blood products. Their biblical interpretation is…

A Question to the Religious Right

A Question to the Religious Right

Comments 2 comments

A question to the so-called “religious right” who want to abolish separation of church and state altogether: How would you feel if the religion expressed on the national stage were some equally skewed version of Islam, or Wicca, or … ( – insert your personal choice for “least appealing religious path” here – for me it’s Jehovah’s Witnesses), rather than this particular view of Christianity? What if they found some “wedge issues” and became the majority in Congress? What if…
