Random Quote

What was God doing (in His Time) for an eternity into His past before He Created the Universe Ex Nihilo? God existed by Himself through an Eternity before the Creation without needing a Universe. Why did He suddenly desire to create the Universe?

Peter A. Angeles, The Problem of God: A Short Introduction (Buffalo, NY: Prometheus, 1986), p. 67.

Frustrated by Maine? Vent on a Canadian poll

Category: Pointless polls

It looks like justice was defeated in Maine, but we got a glimmer of success in Washington (Hooray for my home state!). I think everyone who is unhappy with Maine voters should go tromp on this Canadian poll just to...

The law loves American Christianity

Category: Politics

At first glance, I thought this story was good news: Oklahoma is going to build a Christian prison! About time, I thought, I can think of a few Christians who deserve a few years for faith-abuse. But no…it's a...

Scientology = Fraud

Category: Politics

At least, that's the outcome of a court decision in France, where Scientology was guilty of fraud and got slapped with a few fines, which they'll scrape out of the pockets of their gullible followers. It's nice, I'm not going...

A merger in the offing for Big Church?

Category: Religion

What a useful way to look at it: Vatican, Inc is hoping to improve their bottom line by acquiring a competitor, Church of England, Ltd. About 600 Anglican middle-managers are in talks with the Catholic Church to rip up their...

No more blasphemy laws, please

Category: Politics

It's very nice of Obama to have occasionally acknowledged the existence of freethinkers in his speeches, but it doesn't mean much when his administration endorses blasphemy laws. The public and private curtailment on religious criticism threatens religious and secular speakers...

Such casual bigotry, delivered with such deft thoughtlessness

Category: Politics

A couple of Republican district chairmen took it upon themselves to defend Senator Jim DeMint (R, Crazytown). Uh, maybe. There is a saying that the Jews who are wealthy got that way not by watching dollars, but instead by taking...

The Mormon leadership demonstrates their clarity of vision

Category: Religion

Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Mormon Church has made some interesting remarks. In an interview Monday before the speech, Oaks said he did not consider it provocative to compare the treatment of Mormons in the election's aftermath to that...

Equality everywhere for everyone

Category: Equality

Right now, people are marching on Washington with a reasonable demand: equality under the law for all gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people. It's not much to ask for; it's simply what every human being in this country ought...
