  • Re: Real Debate

    Your comment conflates 'religion' w/ 'culture.' Not all cultures are religious, or ''clothed in allegories and myths'' that people treat as non-fiction. Examples of non-religious cultures: secular Judaism; the culture of any secular institution (e.g. your local public university, Google). Non-religious cultures may include myths, but the myths ...

  • You have Herpes...uh oh

    Um....you know what is missing? 1 in 5 Americans is carrying and transmitting Herpes. They aren't making a big deal out of it......you know why? Because they are really afraid that you are going to catch on to the sex industry and marketplace and stop paying to teach your children to sleep around. Islam is right you see and by ...

  • Hitchens lets his passion undermine his point

    These rants from Hitchens have entertainment value, I suppose, but as with all of today's opinion-driven media they must be taken with a grain of salt. A lot could be written, but I'll just focus on one point here: Hitchens is mistaken to think that a failure to conflate Mormonism with Christianity indicates bigotry. The teachings of Mormonism ...

  • Vintage Hitchens destroys Gov Palin's remains

    Mr Hitchens warns us of his ire with the 2 year campaign in his 1st sentence which goes far from being soured gastric juices. A manufacturing chemist who works daily with the most toxic compounds will identiy the composition of Mr Hitchins's 1st sentence for us shortly. I wish to be enlightened. Sarah Palin's remains, political & earthly, ...

  • Hitch On Helms like White on Rice

    Gee Hitchens, why don't you and the Queen of England tell us how you really felt about that North Carolinian champion Senator Jesse Helms? I did not know him very well, living in the Midwest among Chicago Democrats and Suburban ''Collar County'' Repubs early in life, and then moving to New England, where both the Democrats and the Republicans have ...

  • Both Rich AND Smart -- Now, THAT is RARE

    I have been fulminating for years now about Harvard, and was happy to learn about Michael Kinsley's long ago household affiliation there. I was never headed for Harvard, but years later, learned that a high school classmate of mine, female from Homewood Floosmoor Community High School -- served Harvard as a Deputy Admissions Director for ...

  • News Flash: Christopher Hitchens Seeks Catholic Confessional

    I was surprised to read Christopher Hitchens today, riding high on his moral horse as to the political, cultural and economic predations of Maximum Leader Robert Mugabe in his current Country of Residence, Zimbabwe. What people like Hitchens never seem to understand, is that morality is never just for other people, or leaders, or religious types. ...
