Just wanted to share this, this guy is losing custody of his daughter solely because he's an atheist: http://crackpotchronicle.net/main/2012/05/02/being-an-atheist-is-ca...

Have you heard about the atheist who was physically attacked by a Muslim in PA for dressing like Mohammed? A judge told the victim of the attack that he was doofus and that he deserved to be attacked...

Please sign this petition to disbar this judge:

@scronny

 

Can you give the information on the reading here? I know it's hard to believe, but not everyone in the world is on facebook.

OVERVIEW

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that a proposed law in Tennessee encouraging science teachers to "critique" the theory of evolution, human cloning and global warming is a thinly-veiled plan to put bad science in good schools.

A bill passed the Tennessee House of Representatives April 7 that would require state and local educational authorities to "assist teachers to find effective ways to present the science curriculum as it addresses scientific controversies" and permit teachers to "help students understand, analyze, critique, and review in an objective manner the scientific strengths and scientific weaknesses of existing scientific theories covered in the course being taught."

One of the original drafters of the bill is no less than Focus On The Family, a group from the religious right that aims to put creationism back into the classroom. They succeeded in Mississippi, where science advocates are currently fighting to repeal the "anti-evolution law."

In Tennessee, it's now up to the State Senate to stop the bill. They're set to vote later this month. Sign this petition to tell them that Tennessee students deserve to learn science in science class.

I would have said it's not literature, it's propaganda. They're completely impervious to reality but they need to be reminded that not everyone buys into this nonsense.

That's right outside my balcony, the tree took out a car and now it's blocking the whole street.
