While the Mainstream Media concerned itself with Donald Trump, they gave a pass to a liberal group that apologizes for not being reverse-racist toward whites. Mike Huckabee is the strongest in opposing today's power grab by one branch of government, and the other Republican presidential candidates will follow his lead
Ten Bible Verses Prosperity Gospel Preachers Need to Stop Misusing - OnFaith
Are you the one that called them?, are they in your class? Where were you when God appear to them and gave them what they preach? Daniel King I disagree strongly with this article. It used to be all that was needed to be received, to qualify as good news, whether the hearer was enjoying air conditioning, or meeting in secret, like the video footage we see from China, where those people are afflicted, oppressed, and poor yet still seem awfully happy with this good news, so much so that they just want to hear more and more of His Word, and they treasure it
BBC - Religion: Religions
Religions Religions Religion can be explained as a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs
However, people 65 and older do about as well as people under age 50 on questions about the Bible and Christianity; they do less well on questions about other world religions. People who say they frequently talk about religion with friends and family get an average of roughly two more questions right than those who say they rarely or never discuss religion

A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing: Lawrence M. Krauss, Richard Dawkins: 9781451624465: Amazon.com: Books
http://www.amazon.com/Universe-Nothing-There-Something-Rather/dp/1451624468I am strongly committed to public understanding of science, and have helped lead the national effort to preserve sound science teaching, including the teaching of evolution. Positing an a priori scenario somehow does not look like very good science.....As a review of how matter can arise from nothingness, this book is far too slim to be comprehensive - there is, for instance, only scant treatment of the 'quantum fluctuation' scenario first championed by Trion, or of the 'colliding membranes' scenario, or for that matter of Roger Penrose's interesting recent ideas, which remain largely ignored.In brief, an interesting book which leaves an aftertaste of somehow having an ulterior agenda, perhaps a pamphlet against mindless religiosity rather than a bona fide, purely science book
A Templeton Conversation: Does science make belief in God obsolete?
As a surprising example, it turns out that the most iconic "fact" in the life sciences is only a temporary foothold: DNA doesn't always form a double helix, and those exceptions are mighty interesting. This discovery so disturbed Albert Einstein that he rejected quantum mechanics, pronouncing that God could not "play dice with the universe." But it turned out that Einstein's objections were flawed - uncertainty is deeply fundamental
It's not as vulgar as the rantings of Pam Geller or as crude as the bloodthirsty theories of Alan Dershowitz, but it's coming from a similar place and advancing the same cause. A few of Harris' defenders were rage-filled and incoherent, but the bulk of them were cogent and reasoned, so I concluded that a more developed substantive response to Harris was warranted
Debunking Christianity
http://debunkingchristianity.blogspot.com/Among other things, I discuss my journey from Pentecostal preacher to atheist biblical scholar, and why Jesus cannot be viewed as a peaceful, gender egalitarian, and eco-friendly paragon of virtue. Like many of the unaffiliated in America, my problems with religion included biblical, social, personal, and scientific issues, the fine details of which are beyond this short article
How Evangelicals Can End the Culture War - OnFaith
Bribery, coercion, tricks, and withholding medicine (or health insurance) are also used by some evangelicals for political reasons in the United States. That way, I would be sure that Christians would not participate in the debate, and their pastors would forbid them form talking about it in church because it was political
I decided to dedicate my life to seeking out the wisdom we need to create extraordinary lives with a deep sense of purpose in a world of immense uncertainty. Did you know studies show that people's mortality rates are DOUBLED when they're lonely? WHOA! There's a warm fuzzy feeling that comes from having an active circle of good friends who you can share your experiences with
Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster
This Politico article goes into it in more detail: Before the statue was installed in 2012 as a gift from Republican state lawmaker Mike Ritze and his family, legislators argued that it was not religious, but historic. Supreme Court found that a similar monument in Texas did not violate the establishment clause because it was intended to convey a historic and social meaning and did not constitute a religious endorsement
Major Religions Ranked by Size
How is the size of a religion determined for the purposes of this list? When referring to the "size" of a religion, what is usually meant is its number of adherents. How is classification done for official government figures? It is important to note that data for the size of various religions within a given country often come from government census figures or official estimates
Why Do Many Reasonable People Doubt Science? - National Geographic Magazine
The (boring) truth is that it usually advances incrementally, through the steady accretion of data and insights gathered by many people over many years. We went around killing each other to get on a throne, praying to a rain god, and for better and much worse, doing things pretty much as our ancestors did
Atheism and Agnosticism from About.com
There's no single judgment that can be made about the Crusades or even crusading generally, but it is a subject which merits closer attention than it usually receives. Share Objective Truth: Are Things True Regardless of Belief? The idea of objective truth is the idea that no matter what we believe to be true, some things will always be true and other things will always be false
(See religious groupings in pie chart below.) This report includes findings from a nationwide survey by the Pew Research Center, conducted June 28-July 9, 2012, using both landlines and cell phones, among a representative sample of 2,973 adults. Pew Research Center surveys conducted over the last 10 years, for example, find modest growth in the number of people who say they seldom or never attend religious services, as well as a declining number who say they never doubt the existence of God

Pope Francis Says Atheists Who Do Good Are Redeemed, Not Just Catholics
I'm an atheist." Francis's reaching out to atheists and people who belong to no religion is a marked contrast to the attitude of former Pope Benedict, who sometimes left non-Catholics feeling that he saw them as second-class believers. Using scripture from the Gospel of Mark, Francis explained how upset Jesus' disciples were that someone outside their group was doing good, according to a report from Vatican Radio
