Shirley Dobson, the wife of our buddy Jimmy Dumbson, is pissed at Obama for not making a huge to do about the National Day of Prayer:
"We are disappointed in the lack of participation by the Obama administration," said task force chairwoman Shirley Dobson, wife of Focus on the Family founder James Dobson. "At this time in our country's history, we would hope our President would recognize more fully the importance of prayer."
Please tell us Shirley, what is the importance of prayer? Is there any evidence for prayers to be answered? Um, not really.
Why not discard the National Day of Prayer and start a National Day of Wish Upon a Star? The results would be the same.

Only Religion Can Save Humanity!!!
An op-ed piece from The Daily 49er (the definitive source for Cal State Long Beach News)by Becky Yeh slanders evolution and insults freethinkers everywhere.
"Evolution stems from naturalism and claims the origin of life occurred by random chance, and that mankind evolved from other species," writes Yeh, oblivious that evolution stems from evidence and ignorant to repeat the Ray Comfort lie that evolution occurred by "random chance."
"By neglecting a creator, life has no purpose and one will do what is ethically and morally right in their eyes. There is no governing set of rules to tell humans what is right or wrong." Has that occurred in Sweden, a highly non-believing country? Yeh's "governing set of rules" are,we presume, the Christian Bible. How dare she insult us by insinuating that the Bible somehow has steered humanity on a ethical course! Morality and ethics have changed throughout the journey of mankind; the Bible has, and will, remain static. To postulate that the Bible ensures moral, good behavior makes as much sense as saying that Hansel and Gretel compel us all to carry bread crumbs into the forest.
"[O]ne should consider that the effect of the theory of evolution on man’s worldview is bleak." Fey is either ignorant or purposely omitting the rapturous way in which the Earth is consumed by fire as written in the Book of Revelations. Bleak indeed.

Anti-Abortion Group Against Obama's Free Speech Right
The National Right to Life says NOBAMA to Notre Dame:
"Anthony J. Lauinger, National Right to Life Committee vice president, cites the president's support for abortion rights and expansion of stem cell research as disharmonious with the traditional Catholic university's core values."
Ugh, that we even have to cover this is disheartening. Why does traditional Catholic teaching always seem to run opposite to modern social norms? Because its irrelevant and dangerous.

Blasphemy Laws in Pakinsta...er...Pennsylvania???
Sure we all knew blasphemy laws were on the books in a few states in the United States, but did we really think we would see them enforced?
That this is happening in our home state of Pennsylvania is even more disturbing.
Send hate mail to Pa Secretary of the Commonwealth Pedro Cortes (ra-st-complaints@state.pa.us)
