Here’s another piece on the struggle over God among the Unitarians. Not much new, but I post it because of the interesting opening: “Humanism has been on the wane as an intellectual and political force in America for years, as more people question whether reason and science are adequate portals into the mystery of life.” Of course, stats don’t bear that out, actually. Even Gallup — the most pro-Xian of the mainstream polling organizations — doesn’t say that’s true. I guess it’s just another instance of saying the lie over again enough times until it’s true. (The piece is by Richard Higgens from the New York Times News Service. Not really the bible belt right, but we do know they do some lying there at the Times.)3315 composer ringtoneringtones 3315 composerhop free hip 3390 ringtone nokiahack 7100g ringtones forfree software audiovox ringtone 8910ringtone 9110iringtone free a950 samsungringtone airtel midi Map

Another half-hearted attempt to resist religion in schools buckles: Jesus-friendly student wants to sing a religious song at graduation; school says no (sort of); she goes to a Lawyers for Jesus group, the court battle starts. Here’s that part of the story: School censors senior’s graduation song; court case ensues. Then, the school folk just chicken out and cave: School Works Out Religious Dispute for Graduation. “Works out” here just means “caves to community pressure and legal threats”. Glad to see the commitment to principle by the district here. No religion in the schools, unless you get a lawyer and scare us into pissing our pants.

I almost want to see Bruce Almighty, just for the nausea. Here’s an interesting review, that opens in a promising way:

Why I am still an atheist, part 793: As the stinkweeds of an increasingly frightening fundamentalism sink deep roots into all aspects of the global discourse, Hollywood — jaded, cynical, hedonistic Hollywood — hops on the bandwagon by producing cutesy-poo proselytizing propaganda like Bruce Almighty.

There’s a column in today’s New York Times about “the most hideous example of the human cost exacted by religious fanaticism in American history until 9/11.” It was perpetrated by the Mormons in 1857 and they still won’t own up to it because “To acknowledge complicity on the part of church leaders runs the risk of calling into question Brigham Young’s divinity and the Mormon belief that they are God’s chosen people.” (A Utah Massacre and Mormon Memory)

Here’s kind of a cool atheist blog: The Raving Atheist. Good stuff on law/politics connections, and a very nice link list of Blogs By Atheists.
