Are you smarter than a Christian?
I don't like the title of this article, but I found the report and the reasoning interesting and worth reading. Here is a link to a modified version of the test given by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.

America's True History of Religious Tolerance
How fortunate we are that we had Jefferson and Madison framing the religious freedom in America. How different our country might be, otherwise. This is an outstanding article about the true history of religion in America, by an imminent historian.

Justice Scalia Mouths Off on Sex Discrimination

In 2010, I find it thoroughly shocking and even frightening that an American Supreme Court justice would say or believe this. I guess women don't have "inalienable rights," according to him. No equal protection under the. Law unless legislatures VOTE for it? The way OUR legislatures function, that will never happen. No Equal Rights Amendment has been passed. What does that tell you?

Christopher Hitchens and Rabbi David Wolpe: The Great God Debate
Christopher Hitchens and Rabbi David Wolpe: The Great God Debate, fascinating video of the debate hosted by Tom Ashbrook on PBS Forum Network. From the page accompanying the video:
The polemic "anti-theist" writer Christopher Hitchens engages in "The Great God Debate" with Conservative Jewish leader Rabbi David J. Wolpe. Does God exist? Is religion a force for good or evil in the world? Can ancient texts be squared with modern science? Can morality be divorced from religion? How important is God to Jewish identity?
Christopher Hitchens is one of the most prominent and controversial writers in the media today and the author of the best-selling book 'God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything.' David Wolpe, Rabbi of Temple Sinai in Los Angeles, was named the #1 Pulpit Rabbi in America by Newsweek. He is the author of seven books, including Why Faith Matters, a response to the ideas of Hitchens and other atheist thinkers. Tom Ashbrook, host of NPR's On Point moderates the debate.

News Media Gone Nuts
The news media in this country have sacrificed real news and reporting to stories of the crackpot of the day. Why else would they be giving so much time to the nutty pastor of a tiny church in Gainesville, Florida, who threatened to burn the Koran? This is major news? Not until they MADE it so. Not until they gave this misguided man a national, nay international, platform and exposure, and helped him create a backlash, which they also glory in reporting.
It's a field day for the ratings-seeking networks, a bonanza of scandalous threats endangering our troops and making America look foolish around the globe.
And Jason Linkins at the Huffington Post agrees.
As Walt Kelly, author of Pogo, wrote, "We Have Met The Enemy and He Is Us."
They need to drop it. Or else investigate the man. Who knows what they might find?
