Damn straight. Solving the AIDS crisis via circumcision is like removing your tonsils so you won’t get the flu. We hear a lot about the ignorance of Africans in regards to AIDS. Well the elders of this village are contradicting that. They know better.
Elders from Kenya’s Luo community in western Kenya have refused to [...]

Here’s a shout out to a great post on the wordpress blog Later On. Anyone interested in evolution, creationism or science should take a look.
“Ask and it shall be given,” as Jesus said. You have asked (repeatedly) for transitional forms in the fossil record, and more and more are found. These provide strong evidence of [...]

Creating the perfect editorial headline is difficult to be sure. It must pique the reader’s interest, indicate what the article is about and also give a clue as to what the writer’s opinion is. I have to say these headlines from the blog Ye Are Gods not only accomplished all of that, but they gave [...]

Isn’t it ironic that in order to even be considered a candidate for President of the United States Barack Obama had to be a Christian, and yet this election has driven him away from his church and from spirituality. How could anyone not be disillusioned by the demands of this electorate?
Anyone who thinks this country [...]

Quite frankly, I don’t think that the people who say they think Obama is a Muslim really think that. I believe it’s code for we don’t feel comfortable electing a black man as president but we can’t think of a good reason. If they do, then I have to wonder how gullible are they in [...]

My grandmother was a Southern (Louisiana) headstrong woman — very self-sufficient and very stubborn. One time when she visited my family in California we decided to take her dinner to a Mexican restaurant. She refused. She told us she had heard on Paul Harvey that Mexicans ate bugs and she would not go to a [...]

A top Iranian judiciary official warned Monday against the “destructive” cultural and social consequences of importing Barbie dolls and other Western toys.
In the latest salvo in a more than decade-old government campaign against Barbie, Prosecutor General Ghorban Ali Dori Najafabadi said in an official letter to Vice President Parviz Davoudi that the doll and other [...]

While I fear that I am setting myself up by posting a very unpopular sentiment, I couldn’t refrain. The Dalai Lama just completed a visit to Seattle and I have heard all over the news the oohs and ahhs of the local media about how wonderful the Dalai Lama is. I have to admit I [...]

Remaining significant is a difficult task for any public leader. The James Dobsons and the Pat Robertsons only have so much power as the number of people they can convince the rest of us they have influence over. It should come as no surprise that some leaders, and even Christian leaders, are charlatans extorting their [...]

I’ll let the idiot speak for himself. There’s nothing I can add.
First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom [...]

A word about my photographs:
I tend to photograph a lot of cultural images rather than monuments and buildings. The reason is I’m not a great photographer and when I take pictures of awe-inspiring things the pictures always come up short. I’m showing this photo because it truly is an amazing bronze structure. But it doesn’t [...]

The story:
The Kansas State High School Activities Association said referees reported that Michelle Campbell was preparing to officiate at St. Mary’s Academy near Topeka on Feb. 2 when a school official insisted that Campbell could not call the game.
The reason given, according to the referees: Campbell, as a woman, could not [...]

Newspapers across Europe Wednesday reprinted the controversial cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed that sparked worldwide protests two years ago.
The move came one day after Danish authorities arrested three people allegedly plotting a “terror-related assassination” of Kurt Westergaard, the cartoonist behind the drawing.
I will never understand how you can protest a violent depiction of your [...]

I think John McCain is realizing that right now that he would have done better to ignore evangelicals since nothing he has done seems to satisfy them anyway. Here’s James Dobson today:
“I’m deeply disappointed the Republican Party seems poised to select a nominee who did not support a Constitutional amendment to protect the institution of [...]

I’m going to see Mike Daisey tonight in Seattle, so I thought this would be as good of time as ever to post the video where Mike Daisey was assaulted (I consider it assault) by an audience member whose excuse was that he (the audience member) was a Christian. Well, Mike handled it with class [...]

I’m going to start out by apologizing for my lack of understanding on any faith that thinks cutting off a portion of the male genitalia makes you closer to God. No, I don’t get it and I don’t think I ever will.
And the so-called “health” benefits from circumcision are nothing but a desperately scientific justification [...]

Huckabee, who said he was not there as a presidential candidate, warmed up his conservative audience by declaring that overturning the Roe v. Wade court ruling was not enough because it would leave individual states to decide their own laws on abortion – a moral issue where there is a right and a wrong, contends [...]
