1. Study: Religion colors Americans' views of nanotechnology

Interesting to see people getting all defensive and patriotic. As Doug Stanhope said "America is just some dirt with a line around it".The same applies to any other country. Countries that exist now were nowhere to be seen 100 years ago and no doubt many of them will have vanished in another 100. They are just artificial constructs. I don't buy into any of the nationalistic shite I constantly hear and I'm surprised to see it here.

Not sure if there are any YouTube clips from it, but Billy Connolly's latest,"Was It Something I Said" has him giving a lot of stick to religion in general as well as the Pope, suicide bombers, ghost hunters, tarot readers and the whole "crystal energy" type of bullshit. Highly recommended.

Just did a quick search and found one clip from it

"bhoytoy, Those are not mutually exclusive. The church of scientology uses copyright law as a tool to suppress ridicule. They have a long, well established history of doing this."

I repeat: it's called IRONY.

Windfall, the cruise video has been pulled from Youtube

"This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Church of Scientology International"

It's a copyright matter, nothing to do with it making them look ridiculous.

6. Arrogance, dogma and why science - not faith - is the new enemy of reason

I am always amused that when the Guardian Diary mentions the author of this article they always refer to her as "clinically sane Melanie Phillips".

Don't show this to any Jesus freaks or they'll probably "spit the dummy" as we say

They are real, just Google for them. Here's a link to a video from Aussie TV which not only gives you some idea of what they are like, but also rips the piss out of them completely. It's hilarious.
