      Muslims are more or less unanimous on the subject of Allah—he can't be drawn under any circumstances. Arab Muslims tend to be the strictest about religious imagery. Shiites are more flexible than Sunnis.

      The case for mocking religion. How appalling for the country of the First Amendment to be represented by such an administration. And how abysmal that a "spokesman" cannot distinguish between criticism of a belief system and slander against a people.

      Posted by Billbar from Boston Globe

      A Tufts philosopher and famed Darwinist wants us to study religion like any other human behavior - as a 'natural phenomenon.' Scientists, meanwhile, may be on the way to explaining how, and why, we got religion.

    The Cult of Chris McCandless

    I just watched this film and I am haunted. Although I knew about  Chris I had no idea that his journey killed him. I will forever remember him and I am better for knowing that he was bold and brave enough to do what he needed to do.

    I am also very sad that he only found out to late that there is nothing without the company of others.

    His life will be remembered.

    If anyone knows an email address for his family I would love to convey my respects(after all these years)

    Vitter was a repeat customer

    Vitter was a repeat customer and will continue his illegal and immoral activity as long as he can go to his priest and be forgiven. He and his wife seem to feel that they deserve forgiveness from the American people but in the eyes of many, the hypocrisy is worse than the sin itself. We are a broadminded and forgiving nation, but when looking back on the self righteous attitudes of he and he wife during the Clinton/Lewinsky scandel, most of us feel no pity for these two.
