  Radical religious types of all kinds kill people. Americans need to preach tolerance and diversity of views.

- The Righteousness of Blasphemy
  Posted by Billbar
  What's been missing has been an acknowledgment that blasphemy isn't just something that must be tolerated. It's something that possesses a special political value of its own. Blasphemy, in short, is a good thing. It's something admirable, noble, and, yes, even respectable. Why have we forgotten this?

- Atheists identified as America’s most distrusted minority
  Posted by Billbar from UMN News
  American’s increasing acceptance of religious diversity doesn’t extend to those who don’t believe in a god, according to a national survey by researchers in the University of Minnesota’s department of sociology.

- Prescribing Religion
  Posted by Billbar from Seed Magazine
  Overall, data tends to support a positive relationship between religion and health. "The strongest evidence is in the studies that show association between attendance at religious services and mortality."

- What the Military Shouldn't Preach
  Posted by Billbar from Washington Post
  Every fighter squadron bulletin board I have ever seen proudly states that it is illegal to discriminate based upon a person's race, gender or creed (religion). How then do we justify paying one of our commander's advisers to preach and write his or her religious views to all the troops?

- How should we study religion?
  Posted by Billbar from Prospect UK
  A philosopher (Daniel Dennett) and a theologian (Richard Swinburne) debate the correct approach to the study of religion. Needless to say, this piece is long.

You cannot be a Christian and vote for Obama

I agree with Okami again: freedom of speech is the most important issue.
However, as they are free to say whatever bull**** they want, still we are free not to waste our time on them! As I said, I am not that optimistic about Obama, but let’s see whether he has got any idea behind his smile, especially as welfare and international politics are concerned…

. . .gonna be a while. . .got a helluva lotta damage to undo. . .and if this is really gonna be a ‘free’ country, it’s gonna pop up again and again. . .it has to, otherwise, there’d be no freedoms.
i don’t like it. . .now one whit. . .but if this is truly ‘free’ country, we must expect that we will encounter thngs like this. otherwise it negates the very principle of freedom.

Good thing Obama won, huh? Now we can send this type of garbage to the trash heap where it belongs.

Hi okami,
I don’t know if USA are a racist nation, I don’t think so and I hope not. But I agree with you 100% on the other bits of your comments!

this type of story is why i don’t and won’t belong to any church. Nietschze was 100% correct when he said that "Christianity died on the cross."
people fear change and the future and uncertainity.
this is also a racist nation; the 12 of September 2001 proved that. it will take about another 400 years to get rid of it. . .maybe.

Ah, by the way. If I were an US citizen, I would vote conservative, but definitely not because of Obama’s skin colour or because of his religious ideas, if any.
That’s why I am afraid Obama’s gonna win: because of conservatives’ lackness of proper arguments, I am afraid…
US fellows: W A K E U P !!! The world needs a strong US, leaded by an intelligent, rational, liberal person. Not from a religius freak!

I’ve never read such stupidities in my life, so far. But I am young, and keep looking forward!
Is being Christian the same as constraining people freedom?
Why don’t you get a life and a work, instead?
