1. Mail-boat record 'proves Darwin stole his original ideas from a Welsh scientist'

That'll teach all you Darwinists - Wallace was the one truly divinely inspired, and one day us Wallacists will rise up....

:)

I just wish more people had come up with the theory, and sooner.

As was pointed out to me, Darwinism was coined by the opposition, to make people who liked "the theory" seem like they had some devotion to a person, not an idea. Do what I do, and never use the phrase.

Also, look forward to Richard's take on these matters. Maybe everything this guy says is true, although as it seems to have been debunked within a few posts....

I bet May 25th is significant in base-13!

3. Non-religious summer camps develop niche

Get 'em while they're young!

At the end of the day, this is about money - as the title of the article suggests, there's a niche.

Part of me likes to think that religion will slowly die out by itself, and stuff like this is just sinking to their level.
The other part of me thinks, hooray, more soldiers for the atheist's army, viva revolution!

What I am sure about is that stuff like this should be allowed in our society, so for that reason, I see this as a good thing.

4. Richard Dawkins' secular army must be stopped. God is behind some of our greatest art

"This idea that all artists are essentially humanists is a comforting myth for an agnostic age. There is little evidence to support it. It is, if you like, the agnostic's delusion - because the very opposite is true."

Wow.
Is this one of those straw man comments? I have never known "us lot" to have started claiming all artists were not inspired by religion.

People who've made their mind up will eat this up gladly. I hope everyone else, theist or not, scratches their head at this.
