1. I believe that there is no God.

His association with the Cato institute, and the various talking points he's parroted over the years, though, have almost completely destroyed my respect for him.

Can I just point something out? Not every intelligent, freethinking person is a bleeding-heart liberal. One side-effect of the alliance between the Republicans and the Evangelicals in the U.S. has been that liberals tend to think all conservatives are backward, inbred clods. I'm no conservative, but I'm not so self-righteous that I can't respect someone's right to political freedom.

2. Better God-fearing than sneering

Unlike all you sneering atheists out there, I actually have something nice to say:

Thank you, Ms. Merritt, for teaching me the word "risible." I'm going to start using it instead of "laughable" all the time now so I sound educated, especially when what I'm saying does not.

3. A Split Emerges as Conservatives Discuss Darwin

This article shows two things:
1) that politicials "believe in" whatever it is beneficial for them to believe, and
2) for some reason, the public still confuses accepting Darwinian theory as somehow endorsing a dog-eat-dog society. "You could find justification in Darwin for both maternal instinct and for infanticide" should read "You could find EXPLANATION in Darwin for both maternal instinct and for infanticide."

4. God Is on Our Side. Does That Mean War?

No religion=No war. It's not hard to figure out.

Oversimplifications like this are neither accurate nor helpful. Don't make me sic Reza Aslan on you! :P
