    • Church's influence on politics shifting November 25, 2009
      It wasn't that long ago that "there was no such thing as putting a pastor on hold" when the leader of a D.C. church called city hall, said the Rev. Patrick J. Walker of the New Macedonia Baptist Church in Southeast.
    • Gay marriage momentum stalls in 2 US states November 25, 2009
      The state-to-state march to legalize gay marriage across the left-leaning northeastern United States has lost more momentum since a major setback three weeks ago at the ballot box in Maine.
    • Uganda's anti-gay bill causes Commonwealth uproar November 25, 2009
      The Commonwealth convenes for a summit this week amid growing furor over a proposed law that would impose life imprisonment on homosexuals in Uganda, whose President is chairing the gathering.
    • Legalise assisted suicide, Kirk minister says November 25, 2009
      A retired Church of Scotland minister is calling for assisted suicide to be legalised so that patients could end their lives “in an ethical and merciful manner”.
    • Jihadist lit: At a library near you November 25, 2009
      When police rounded up 18 terror suspects around Toronto in 2006, they found cash, detonators and videos that showed some of them yelling "God is Great" as they trained in the snow with guns.
    • Darwin debate rages on 150 years after November 24, 2009
      Even 150 years after it first appeared in print, Charles Darwin's "On The Origin of Species" still fuels clashes between scientists convinced of its truth and critics who reject its view of life without a creator.
    • Commentary: Why the Catholic hierarchy pushes political buttons in Washington November 24, 2009
      When the House of Representatives passed a health-care reform bill this month that included a watertight prohibition on federal funding for elective abortions, outraged American feminists wondered just how one of their own - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi - could have countenanced such a concession.
    • Faith leaders call for calm as murdered priest is buried November 24, 2009

    • Yemen conflict inflaming Saudi-Iranian rivalry November 24, 2009
      For years just an obscure fight raging in remote desert mountains, Yemen's war with Shiite rebels has been dragged up to a new level, inflaming the rivalry between the Middle East's two powerhouses Saudi Arabia and Iran.
    • Health care overhaul revives abortion debate November 24, 2009

    • Happy Wary Vigilance Day! November 26, 2009
      Sorry, I don't believe in Thanksgiving Day. This whole notion that one should have vague and aimless feelings of gratitude for the nature of one's existence is just too weird, and the bow-your-head-at-the-table and radiate-blessings-at-the-cosmos tradition is pointless and silly. Don't get me wrong: I can be appropriately and happily grateful […]
    • Greg Epstein is a very nice fellow November 25, 2009
      I've met him a few times, and that's the impression I get in person and in his writings, and I certainly can't object to that. I haven't yet read his new book, Good Without God, but I'm pretty sure I'll come away from it as I would from a heaping plate of marzipan and sugar cookies and chocolate truffles — a little nibble […]
    • I get email — and create a contest! November 25, 2009
      Want another reason to avoid debating creationists? It's like giving a mangy, limping, scab-encrusted starving fleabait cat a saucer of milk — you'll never be rid of the whimpering dependent. Ross Olson of the Twin Cities Creation Science Association has taken to pestering me and Mark Borrello with his plaintive demands, and unfortunately I c […]
    • I'm profiled in New Scientist November 25, 2009
      And wouldn't you know it, right there in the title it announces that I'm mild-mannered. Next time, I swear, I'm gonna…I'm gonna…I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Maybe I'll take off my glasses. Maybe I'll cuss, darn it. I've got to do something to shed this teddy bear reputation. A tattoo, you think […]
    • Rom Houben is still a victim November 25, 2009
      Yet more skeptics have spoken out: Randi, Orac, and Novella, on the case of the Belgian man who is claimed to have awakened from a persistent vegetative state, and is even, supposedly, writing a book about his 23 years trapped in an unresponsive body. It's possible that he has recovered to some degree, but the evidence hasn't been shown. Supposedly […]
    • Educate La Sierra in the Truth…with a poll November 25, 2009
      There is a Seventh Day Adventist college, La Sierra University, which has horrified church leaders because their biology department is infested with evolutionists. It just goes to show: educate an intelligent person in biology, and they can't help but accept evolutionary theory as the idea best supported by the evidence. This has caused much anguish amo […]
    • We're all still recovering from Skepticon November 25, 2009
      Don't miss it next year: Rebecca Watson reviews Skepticon II, both the talks and the social scene. And if that's not enough, Carl Sagan's Dance Party recorded a podcast with several of us while we were there. People are asking if the talks at Skepticon were recorded. Yes! The whole two days are being edited and uploaded to youtube right now. H […]
    • Keef gets it right November 25, 2009
      We've had an infestation of insane trolls today who have babbled incoherently about who knows what…I think Keith Knight has captured them perfectly. Read the comments on this post...
    • Happy Anniversary, Origin…some bad news November 24, 2009
      The media can't let today pass by without doing something stupid, so here are a few unfortunate faux pas from our news outlets. Newsweek has published a dozen reasons to celebrate Darwin. The first? Darwin wasn't an atheist! Huzzah! He also wasn't a Jew, let's celebrate that! The second isn't much better. Darwin mentioned "the C […]
    • Happy Anniversary, Origin…some good news November 24, 2009
      Today is the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species, and a few sites have taken notice. A new science blog, The Whirlpool of Life, opens today. CNN has published a brief retrospective from Richard Dawkins. It focuses entirely on "militant atheism", which is odd since the book itself did not promote unbelief, […]
