This looks interesting:
DefCon is an online grassroots movement combating the growing power of the religious right. We will fight for the separation of church and state, individual freedom, scientific progress, pluralism, and tolerance while respecting people of faith and their beliefs.
I couldn’t agree more. There is not a war going on between the religious and the non-religious. There is a war going on between intolerant, radical theocrats and tolerant, compassionate secularists. Which side are you on?
Speaking of the intolerant, reminded me of the email I recieved last week from a family member. It’s fairly well documented at snopes -> link.
So should we blame Christianity because George Bush is one, is a dumbass, and speaks on behalf of the religion just like whatever dumbass wrote this email blaming the Muslim religion for the bombings mentioned? This sort of crap drives me nuts. Sounds as if maybe Shelley the Republican wrote it. Seems like the same blinded by rage ranting that is her style.
