1. Atheists are nice people who will roast in hell, says Cardinal

If I am not mistaking, a prior article posted on this site was saying church enrollment was dropping rapidly. Sounds like the Cardinal is getting back to basics with some good old scare tactics! Lets face it, flip on your TV, take a look at the evangelicals and their followers then tell me you want to spend eternity in heaven with them! Talk about redefining hell. I am sure the eternal hell speech at least ruined the minds of a couple youths, way to go fear factory!

2. Truly Bizarre : Indians Throw Babies 50ft From Roof To Thank God.

I actually heard that the blessing is only effective from 51 feet....oops! I guess it is a good thing that India has a good tradition of making durable textiles. What type of blessing are they hoping for any way, a child that grows up with strong reasoning skills? I have a hard enough time understanding people that close their eyes and pray let alone this madness. I really think the parents should be dropped over the edge first, then they can get a double blessing...or a fractured skull.

3. No Admission for Evolutionary Biologist at Creationist Film

I think the most frustrating element about this event is the reason certain types were invited.

"But Walt Ruloff, a partner in Premise Media, the film's producer, said the screening was one of a series the producers have organized for the film, which opens April 18, in hopes of building favorable word-of-mouth among people likely to be sympathetic to its message. People like Dr. Myers and Dr. Dawkins would not have been invited, he said."

Why is there never a position of searching for TRUTH in the creationist message? The creationist position was intellectually killed about two hundred years ago, it is amazing it is still festering and in the U.S. being taken seriously. When is the sympathetic movement for those who believe the world flat going to raise it's ugly head?
