There is no violation of the First Amendment in requiring all insurance plans to cover birth control without copay. This article spells it out.

It sounds like it might be a good case for the Freedom From Religion Foundation.

Simi atheist wants City Hall poster saluting secular soldiers
Stuart Bechman demanded that the Simi Valley poster honoring Christian veterans be taken down, but was rebuffed. He has responded by asking for a poster for atheists in Foxholes.

The judge is still allowing the bus company to force the atheists to pay a bond to cover the cost of vandalism. That's practically an invitation to vandals: "Hey, go ahead and do your thing. The only one it'll hurt is the…

Maybe the actual contributing factor is intelligence-related rather than religious.

The best spotlight is sound data from a source they might actually believe.

Why don't the Jewish people follow the teachings of the Old Testament?
Posted on October 17, 2010 at 7:46pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Why don't the Jewish people follow the teachings of the Old Testament? I am glad they don't, otherwise there would be honor killings by Jews, but I would like someone to educate me as to why the Jews do not stone adulterers as ordered in the word of God. At least the Christians can say that Jesus did away with the old law. How do the Jews justify disobeying god? I Googled it and the best answer I found was that there was "New Covenant" but that just says the law will be "written in their… Continue

Atheism vs. Communism
Posted on July 23, 2010 at 2:13pm 7 Comments 0 Likes
In the afterword of "The End of Faith," Sam Harris responds to criticism that "the greatest crimes of the 20th century were perpetrated by atheists...Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and Kim Jong." Harris answers by saying, "these regimes have been mere litanies of delusion-- about race, economics, national identity..."
Note that all but one of these depots (Hitler) were communist. Almost all atheists whose writings I have read are more than atheists; they are empiricists. That is, they… Continue

BilLee Miller said… - In answer to your question, yes, strictly speaking both pantheism and paganism do qualify as nontheistic. There is actually a movement promoting scientific pantheism. Theism is the traditional concept of a god that is omnibenevolent, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. So yes, paganism is nontheistic but unlike pantheism is often uncomfortable with that fact. Paganism is usually polytheistic which has a variety of different conceptions of what they mean by gods from the traditional Greek, Roman, German, Norse, Hindu, Celt, etc. pantheons to simply "deifying" ideas like discord, environmentalism, feminism, liberty, etc. So always let a pagan define themselves for you and shouldn't get into too much trouble. Also, that will give you a chance to make a polite case against supernaturalism at least for those that are simply "deifying" concepts.

That's OK Arnab. Much quicker than the second coming of Christ. Wouldn't want to be hanging by the balls waiting for that to happen.
