1. Indian village proud after double 'honor killing'

They call themselves men?

I've met a flea ridden, three legged, mongrel bitch that is more manly and more honourable than these pieces of human excrement.

Disgusting.

2. How to reconcile Richard Dawkins?

When I hear the comment that Stalin or Hitler were atheist I just say, "So?"

I'm one of those atheists who will not blame religion for bad deeds because then I feel I would have to blame religion for good deeds. I blame people. Good people pick the good stuff from religion and go with it. Bad people select the bad stuff and go with it. It's people who are the problem. More so, people who are willing to act on faith. Faith is the damaging aspect of religion. The ideas contained in most religious beliefs range from evil to wonderfully kind. The individual person still choses their path.

This is why I question the claim that morality only comes from religion because as I see it the application of religion is inconsistent in its results. The behaviour of Christians truly runs the entire spectrum of human behaviours. Of course the religious claim that the bad people aren't truly religious. They always have an out. Rationalizing is easy when armed with faith.

The religious pointing out bad atheists is just a response to atheists pointing out bad religious people. The common element among these bad people is that they are just people.

3. Evolution fray attracts top scientist

So, the 1996 winner of the Nobel prize in chemistry. The discoverer of bucky balls, hardly an insignificant discovery, says about evolution:
"The bedrock of all biology," Kroto calls it. "It's beautiful."

While senate Majority Leader Dan Webster, R-Winter Garden, said the theory of evolution "had flaws."

I find that a humourous juxtaposition of opinions.

Dan Webster's logic escapes me and I find this statement bizarre at best. HAD flaws? Is it okay now or does it still have flaws. I think that every time I hear someone claim that evolution has flaws I will ask them to tell me which scientific theory is flawless perfection.
