This article is awesome i'am religious but i think that it has no place in politics nor should be turned into an ideology (i.e political islam) its a personal thing and should remain that way everyone has to if they so wish find their own path to god and relationship with him/her/it depending on your interpretation.

He is a brave man of conscious especially in a country where they talk about islamo-fascism and taliban and al-qaeda when america has its own white "christian" version thereof. I added the white bit because it seems that islam is too often portrayed as a religion of scary backward brown people and they are coming to get us mccarthy anyone?

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

Courage would not be repeating the lie and myth of some type of "separation of church and state" to mean anything but not another Church of England.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Meh in practice a constitution is rarely worth the paper it is written on anywhere in the world...

Great article. Thanks for sharing. :tup:

And I have newfound respect for Bob Kerrey, now.

so close to annihilation.
