Religion scares me in the aspect it infiltrates society. We all saw this with al-queda on 9/11 and since in all religions itself with the crusades, the greeks, the mayas, aztecs and incas. No religion overcame obscurity without clashing, without attacking another in the same way we saw 9/11. It was al-queda as they called it, that had attacked the very foundations of America. Its Religious Freedom. Al-Queda imposed that America was lewd, too liberal, lacked morals and among other things, imposed its military in other countries. We all saw what this lead to, a conservative movement within our society. The same way Islam created its own movement and has since the stone ages imposed. When reading the Koran its not much different from the Bible. Same goes for any other “feel good” hero stories from any other religion. While religions do good on the short term for a person, they tend to do more harm than good in the long end for a whole society. We take the conservative movement and escalate to a preacher at the white house. Can you tell me what comes next???

“Ten questions to ask your biology teacher about evolution,” a document by Jonathan Wells, a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, a Seattle-based group that advocates intelligent design, aims to highlight the weaknesses in evolutionary theory. Here are his questions, along with responses compiled by the National Center for Science Education.
1. Origin of life. Why do textbooks claim that the 1953 Miller-Urey experiment shows how life’s building blocks may have formed on the early Earth — when conditions on the early Earth were probably nothing like those used in the experiment, and the origin of life remains a mystery?
N.C.S.E. answer: Because evolutionary theory works with any model of the origin of life on Earth, how life originated is not a question about evolution. Textbooks discuss the 1953 studies because they were the first successful attempt to show how organic molecules might have been produced on the early earth. When modern scientists changed the experimental conditions to reflect better knowledge of the earth’s early atmosphere, they were able to produce most of the same building blocks. Origin-of-life remains a vigorous area of research. Continued at LINK [LINK]]

The British Library is going to put what remains of the world’s oldest Bible online for all to see and study.
The world’s oldest Bible, the Codex Sinaiticus, was written in Greek more than 1,600 years ago. It’s always been a controversial book, containing pieces not in the “standard” Bible, like the Epistle of Barnabas and definitely not containing the resurrection of Jesus. It was discovered in 1844 in St. Catherine’s Monastery close to Mt. Sinai, and parts of it are still there.
The other remaining fragments are in Russia, Germany, and in Britain - at the British Library. [LINK]

Interesting video about a Hezbollah militia man being interrogated by Israeli forces.
Six countries list Hezbollah or its security arm as a terrorist organization: the United States, United Kingdom, Israel, Canada, the Netherlands, and Australia. However, Hezbollah is highly regarded as a legitimate resistance movement in most of the Arab and Muslim worlds. Hezbollah first emerged as a militia in response to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982, set on resisting the Israeli occupation of Lebanon.

Lets Edit History!
This is from a letter Jefferson wrote to Roger Weightman reflecting on the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence (which, it turns out, was the day both he and John Adams died)
From Jefferson’s: “May it be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all,) the signal of arousing men to burst the chains under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government.”
To Bush’s Speech: Thomas Jefferson understood that these rights do not belong to Americans alone. They belong to all mankind. And he looked to the day when all people could secure them. On the 50th anniversary of America’s independence, Thomas Jefferson passed away. But before leaving this world, he explained that the principles of the Declaration of Independence were universal. In one of the final letters of his life, he wrote, “May it be to the world, what I believe it will be — to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all — the Signal of arousing men to burst the chains, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government.” LINK= Dispatches from the Culture Wars: Bush Edits Out Jefferson’s Religious Views

Report: There is a reason why the United Kingdom is turning out to be a serious alternative to the United States. Studies indicate that an increasing number of Britons are losing their faith in God. Christianity, specifically. A survey released on Friday substantiates these claims, by documenting the fact that over half of all Britons believe that Christianity will die out in their country within the next fifty years.
According to the survey, six in ten British citizens surveyed said that they would prefer not to practice any religion at all. How fascinating, especially for Americans, and residents of the Muslim third world, for whom the exact opposite situation reigns. (Read more…)

‘Big Science’ is always suppressing The Truth with their blatant pro-evolution anti-wacko agenda: from the fact that UFOs built the pyramids to the reality of creationism and fact the universe is “Turtles All The Way Down”. It is time to fight back and urge schools to Teach The Controversy with these intelligently designed t-shirts. [LINK]

Atheists rejoice, Obama the multicultural man, finally a man in office who educates himself about OTHER religions other than his own. Obamas father was muslim, then became atheist when he married Obamas Mother, a white christian woman. You can certainly see that people and culture empower him, and its not all about religion.
When you are educated about religions, you know that, when used as a moral guide it can go along way as far as fiction books go. Seeing it as non-fiction it just becomes another rule book for the hypocrites.
