Oh, the folly... on both sides of this equation. But we don't seem to learn, do we? So, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev), invites a Hindu clergyman to offer the Senate's daily prayer... sounds already like a drum roll should be coming next. Yes, the Senate still offers prayers everyday. It ...>

This is the recent question in the On Faith section of The Washington Post: "This July 4, Pagans rallied outside the White House. They want the military to add a Pagan chaplain. Should they get one? Would you vote for a Pagan for public office?" Answers from some of the panelists follow. I've ...>

The Washington Post has started a new "blog" within their On Faith online initiative.

Fellow blogger T, at The Republic of T, has a very interesting post covering many issues, but culminating in the following set of questions: So, are all of the people losing their religion?

Don't know if anybody caught the May 5 ABC hosted debate between Kirk Cameron (from the old Growing Pains TV show) and Ray Comfort, and two folks from Rational Response Squad. It was laughable. Really. The debate whether God exists. Not gods mind you, but God. This was a/the deity, unseen, omnipoten ...>

Between one of my Red-Eye Tetras (also called Lamp-Eye Tetras) jumping out of the tank and flopping on the carpet, my making a delicious ginger syrup and ginger-lime-garlic pork ribs for my wife's lunch, and revising a paper on colonial biopolitics, I have not had much of a chance today to post abo ...>

I had penned this post about a recent article in The Washington Post regarding evangelicals being "disdained" in the classroom, but as luck would have it, my system crashed, lost the whole thing, and I'm just too tired and lazy to re-write it. So, here are a few links to follow if you are intereste ...>
