  • Whoppers?

    You say the ideas of angels visiting Joseph Smith, and of Smith translating an ancient record by divine power, are such ridicuous ''whoppers'' that you can't take a believer seriously as a potential leader. Why do you think these beliefs are more ridiculous than, say, the belief that Jesus was put to death by crucifixion, lay dead in a tomb, rose ...

  • Mitt Romney-Mormonism

    I agree with your entire argument; however, your phrase, ''... Ku Klux Klan (which, I would remind you, is also a Protestant Christian identity organization)'', is puzzling to me. What the Hell is a ''Protestant Christian identity organization''? It appears to me that you are attempting to smear ''Christianity'' and perhaps religion in general ...

  • Holy Nonsense - Mitt's Windy, Worthless Speech

    Christopher Hitchens is, as usual, correct on every point. Monumentally grievous is the fact that almost no one who needs to read this article will. Mitt's erroneous assumptions about freedom (cannot exist without religion) and fallacious assertions about the founding fathers' attitudes toward religion (they were devout believers in the ...

  • If you run on your beliefs you better defend them

    The Romney's and the Huckabees and the Bushes of the world want us to think that they are good people because they believe in God. This may or may not be true. They may not be good people. They may be bad people, because of their beliefs, they may be good people in spite of their beliefs or they may be good people because of their beliefs, but if ...

  • Mormons and women

    One discussion that has appeared nowhere in the news is the issue of Mormonism and women. As Mitt is a Mormon, his religious beliefs about women will bias his decisions at the very least. It is my understanding that Mormons do not allow women to be priests. They cannot hold any position of authority within the church. If men wish to ...

  • Peddling religious sensationalism

    There's an interesting article on this topic, situating Romney in the context of a variety of fraudulent claims currently being made about a number of religious and scientific issues, here: http://www.nowpublic.com/culture/jesus-judas-and-dead-sea-scrolls-peddling-religious-sensationalism-america

  • Romney's Renaissance

    Romney's Renaissance From liberal Massachusetts where Romney campaigned on what the electorate wanted to hear, i.e. religious and social tolerance re gays, abortion, etc, to Philadelphia, thoughts of enlightenment heralding reason and science were the philosophical backbone of a great new country.Voltaire on hearing Romney's new mantra ...

  • N E G L E C T E D.....C O N S T I T U E N C Y..?

    For better or worse, most people vote with their pocket-book. There is a group of people in the USA who are smart, who save their money, and actually want to pay more taxes! ( No, that is NOT a typo.....we DO want to pay more taxes! ) But we can't. Not in the USA. The government won't let us. Now, who the heck am I talking about? Those ...
