Pope Angers Gay Groups
The Pope was attacked by lesbian and gay campaigners after he declared that saving humanity from homosexual or transsexual behaviour was as important as saving the rainforests from destruction.
He said humanity needed to listen to the "language of creation" to understand the intended roles of man and woman and that behaviour beyond traditional heterosexual relations was a "destruction of God's work".
He called on the Church to protect man from the "destruction of himself" saying that tropical rainforests deserved protection but man as a creature "does not deserve any less".

Capitol Controversy
At this season of the Winter Solstice may reason prevail. There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell. There is only our natural world. Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds.
That's what the Madison-based Freedom from Religion Foundation put up this holiday season in the marble hallways of the State Capitol in Olympia, Washington between the Senate and House chambers.
The placard stands next to a giant xmas tree (a pagan symbol that has become associated with the Christian holiday) and a traditional nativity scene. This gesture symbolizes the very controversial topic of religion's role in the U.S. Joshua Johnson Reports.

Bill Hicks - The War on Drugs and about God
From his 1989 special, "Sane Man," genius comedian/philosopher Bill Hicks offers an interesting perspective on the "War" on Drugs.
"All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves."

Life, Darwin and Everything
The Genius of Charles Darwin: Life, Darwin and Everything…
By Richard Dawkins
By Richard Dawkins
Authors at Google: James Randi
James Randi is an internationally known magician (as The Amazing Randi), psychic debunker, and winner of a MacArthur Foundation "Genius Grant." He was a founding fellow of the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP). He is perhaps best known for offering $1,000,000 (via the James Randi Educational Foundation) to anyone who can successfully demonstrate psychic powers under conditions mutually agreed on by the challenger and himself. Starting with a $10,000 prize over 25 years ago, no claimant to psychic powers has ever won the money.
Randi has pursued "psychic" spoonbenders, exposed the dirty tricks of faith healers, investigated homeopathic water "with a memory," and generally been a thorn in the sides of those who try to pull the wool over the public's eyes in the name of the supernatural.
This event took place August 6, 2007 at Google Headquarters in Mountain View, CA.

Ah hello! It's nice to see you all here.
As the more perceptive of you probably realised by now, this is Hell.
And I am the Devil.
Good evening.
But you can call me Toby, if you like.
We try to keep things informal in here, as well as infernal.
That's just a little joke of mine.
I tell it every time. Now, you're all here for ....
Eternity! Ooh, which I hardly need tell you is a heck of a long time,
so you'll all get to know each other pretty well by the end.
But for now I'm going to have to split you up in groups.
Will you stop Screaming!
Thank you.
Now, murderers? Murderers over here, please.
Thank you.
Looters and Pillagers over here. Thieves, if you could join them,
and Lawyers, you're in that lot too.
Fornicators, if you could step forward?
My God, there is a lot of you!
Could I split you up into Adulterers and the rest.

Muslim Stone Satan at the Hajj
MINA, Saudi Arabia (AFP) — Thousands of Muslim pilgrims massed in a valley near the Saudi holy city of Mina on Monday for the stoning of Satan, the last and most dangerous rite of the annual hajj.
Hundreds of people have been trampled to death in stampedes which have blighted several previous pilgrimages to Islam's holiest sites when the faithful rush to hurl stones at huge pillars symbolising the devil.
To complete the ritual, a pilgrim must throw 21 pebbles at each of three 25-metre (82-foot) pillars and this year the faithful are being given pebbles in pre-packed bags to spare them the effort of searching for the stones.

Crowd Rallies Against Sign At State Capitol
OLYMPIA, Wash. - An estimated crowd of several hundred people flocked to the state Capitol for a Sunday protest against a holiday display that disparages religion and claims there is no God.
The display - a "winter solstice" sign sponsored by the atheistic Freedom from Religion Foundation - calls religion "myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds."
State officials had allowed the anti-religion placard to be displayed during the holidays at the Capitol, along with a Christian nativity scene and a decorated Christmas tree, in response to a lawsuit filed over seasonal religious displays on state property.

Exclusive Interview: Bill Maher on RELIGULOUS
Bill Maher, from HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, opens his new film Religulous this week. Bill sat down for an exclusive 1 on 1 with National Lampoon's Matt Zaller for the Zaz Report to discuss God, Politics, Religion, and the American election. Bill dishes on the almighty, organized religion, Sarah Palin and John McCain, and most importantly, how to correctly pronounce his name. Religulous is as funny as Bill Maher is, so the funny meter is quite high. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, the after life? It's all fair game!
Mountain Meadows Massacre
Mormons (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) killed 120 unarmed members of a wagon train on September 11. 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre.
In 1857, 120 unarmed members of a wagon train moving through southern Utah were attacked and slaughtered at the hands of Mormon militia. Until the Oklahoma City bombing, this was the largest-scale massacre single-event massacre in US History. And like another brutal massacre some 150 years later, this one occurred on September 11th as well. And yet it remains an obscure historical footnote, because of an active cover-up that has gone on for 150 years; the Mormon Church continues to deny any culpability in this travesty.
Was Mountain Meadows Massacre Christian love?

The Pagan Christ
There are 2.1 billion Christians on the planet - roughly one third of the entire human population. At the heart of their religion is the New Testament and the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. To Christianity, the written word is the glue that binds the faith of its followers.
So, what if it could be proven that Jesus never existed? What if there was evidence that every word of the New Testament -- the cornerstone of Christianity -- is based on myth and metaphor?
Based on Tom Harpur's national bestseller, The Pagan Christ examines these very questions.

Michael Shermer Decodes the Bible Code
The Bible Code claims that hidden in the first five books of the Bible in its original Hebrew text are hidden messages in code that made predictions thousands of years ago about current events, such as the assassination of JFK and the end of the world.
In this episode Michael Shermer decodes the Bible Code and reveals it to be a form of numerology that serves as a supreme example of pattern-seeking (and finding) behavior of which we are so skilled.

Don't tell me Christianinty don't harm
Lyrics:
When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand
So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
(Confiteor Deo omnipotenti vobis fratres, quia peccavi nimis cogitatione,
verbo, opere et omissione, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa)
Translation
["I confess to almighty god,
and to you my brothers,
that I have sinned exceedingly
in thought, word, act and omission,
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault"]
