The random and violent attack by the knife-wielding Capener, 24, sparked confusion and fear in the Albuquerque Westside church as the choir started singing “Take My Hand, Precious Lord.”

According to a criminal complaint released Monday, Capener vaulted over pews and lashed out at choir director Adam Alvarez, who had his back toward him.

…

Capener later told police that he was “99 percent sure Alvarez was a mason” and that he thought Alvarez was involved in a conspiracy.

He told the investigator that Masons are a group involved “in a conspiracy that is far more reaching than I could or would believe.”

A new report put out by the Texas Freedom Network Education Fund reveals that in several public school classes on the impact of the Bible on history have found classes teaching from a right-wing, fundamentalist Christian standpoint.A Southern Methodist University religious studies professor Mark Chancey found instances of students learning a literal interpretation of the Bible, that the earth is approximately 6,000 years old and that Judaism is a “flawed and incomplete religion” with materials “designed to evangelize rather than provide an objective study of the Bible’s influence.”TFN also found a lesson explaining “racial origins traced from Noah.”

Maggie Gallagher isn’t the only religious conservative to be feeling a loss of optimism in the new year. In his January newsletter, the hate group Focus on the Family founder, James Dobson comes out and admits that “Nearly everything I have stood for these past 35 years went down to defeat.” What he fails to understand, or more likely admit to, is why. In his newsletter he proceeds to lay the blame for his failures on the doorstep of President Obama, the Democratic Party and the disappointing Judas Iscariots of the Republican party. There is no acknowledgement that in re-electing this President, the country provided a sound repudiation of Dobson’s brand of extremism. It wasn’t any of the factions he cited in his newsletter that brought about his defeat. It was the electorate, who, among other things, has grown weary of the distortions and ugly tactics employed by social conservatism.

Indiana is now firmly planted in the heart of the bible belt. Indiana law requires that marriage can only be solemnized by a small group of people that includes clergy.

CFI has sued and wants “Secular Celebrants” to be added to the list. The case has gone to trial and the judge has spewed forth a crap load of dumb ass.

“We conclude that the Solemnization Statute is rationally related to the legitimate purpose of alleviating significant governmental interference with pre-existing religious beliefs about marriage,”

Marriage is not owned by religion. The judge did suggest that Secular Celebrants could qualify under the law if they….

…become a member of the ‘clergy’ by seeking immediate Internet ordination from the Universal Life Church…

So, if you spend $5 for an on-line “clergy” certificate then you qualify. Part of the judges logic is…

…the First Amendment was designed to give the power to churches, not nonbelievers.

Really? This rewriting of American history needs to stop. I worry that we only have a short window of time to push back on this idiocy before an entire generation is raised on this stupidity. Or, is it already too late?

Savita Halappanavar, who was 17 weeks pregnant, died of septicaemia a week after presenting with back pain on 21 October at University hospital in Galway, where she was found to be miscarrying.

But he said these requests were denied because a foetal heartbeat was still present and they were told at one point: “This is a Catholic country.”

In the future this will become more and more common, due to the effects of global warming more energy is being pumped into our system, energy trapped in ice, energy absorbed by plankton that due to a rise in sea waters will not be able to access the sun efficiently and turn the suns energy into oxygen.

The face of the world is about to change, and we’re here to see it, and feel it. To survive we need to put down our teddy bears and roll up our sleeves …

Does Romney have the balls to steal the election ?

WND is a very dangerous organization, one that seems to have taken over and exceeded the Klan presence in the US.

Note that these fascists have a large following, gun toting NRA memberships, influencing with fear mongering nonsense to the hand of god to get what they want, as they are the hand of god, they will stop at nothing to get their way.

The koran specifically says to cause terror to the infidels, the ones that would go against alla ha ha etc etc
By saying “acts of terror” it can be suggested that the pres is referring to the specific verse in the koran that talks about terrror, and by doing so he is going against the koran and if he’s going against the koran he’s going against the alla ha ha god.

If he said terrorists, that would refer just to those that did the acts or planned them, acts of terror goes right to the teachings of the koran.
So if anyone of your friends says he’s a muslim, just say “I dont think sooooooo” and this is a good reason why….

uh oh, is John Law finally catching up to the elusive cath o licks ?
