Why are tax breaks given to the religious? Seriously, I'm really asking...

Comment by Mark Michicich on June 14, 2011 at 7:15pm: Kurt, thanks for the head's up. I'll check it out.
Akron, I LOVED "Intelligent Design on Trial."

Comment by A3Kr0n on June 14, 2011 at 4:03pm: Mojo. Bummer. "not available for streaming". Hey, did you ever see the Nova program "Intelligent Design on Trial"? That's what got me more involved in atheism.

Comment by mojo5501 on June 14, 2011 at 3:52pm: Wednesday night on NOVA there's a repeat broadcast of "Musical Minds". I highly recommend it. It has some of the work of Oliver Sacks featured, if I remember correctly. It's fascinating how human brains that may be considered 'defective' on some measures are 'genius' when it comes to musical talent and musical 'intelligence'.

Comment by Mark Michicich on June 10, 2011 at 9:53pm: Thanks AKron. Appreciate the warm welcome. Just took a stab at mojo's topic. This group seems to be off to a pretty fast start!

Comment by A3Kr0n on June 10, 2011 at 8:23pm: Welcome aboard Mark! Join in a discussion if you'd like. I started one called "Living with religion in Southern Wisconsin", and I see mojo just started a new one called "Reconciling Science and Religion".

Five members and two topics. We're exploding here!
