Somewhere in the world a man has abducted a little girl. Soon he will rape, torture, and kill her. If an atrocity of this kind not occurring at precisely this moment, it will happen in a few hours, or days at most. Such is the confidence we can draw from the statistical laws that govern the lives of six billion human beings. The same statistics also suggest that this girl’s parents believe — at this very moment — that an all-powerful and all-loving God is watching over them and their family. Are they right to believe this? Is it good that they believe this?

No.

MONROE, Ohio - The famous King of Kings statue at the Solid Rock Church in Monroe is no longer after a fire destroyed the popular landmark Monday night.


The 62-foot tall statue of Jesus constructed out of styrofoam, wood and fiberglass resin caught on fire after the right hand of the statue was struck by lightning during the severe thunderstorms around 11:15 p.m.


The only thing left of the 16,000 pound statue is the metal frame.

Monroe Fire Chief Mark Neu said the statue was fully involved in fire when crews arrived.


Crews were able to use water from the pond in front of the statue, however, the fire burned very quickly, according to police.


The statue was grounded, but for some reason it did not absorb the lightning strike.


“I never thought this would be vulnerable, it was a real tragedy,” Chief Neu said.

Via Hemant Mehta comes this story that could not have happened at a more appropriate time.


One of the most basic principles of the United States, written out in the very first Amendment of the Bill of Rights, is that the government will neither endorse nor deny any specific religion, or interfere with anyone’s ability to worship or not.

This is pretty straightforward. You have the right to your religion, and I have the right to mine. You even have the right to not have a religion. But no matter what, you have the right to not have your religion interfered with.

Eric Workman, a (now-graduated) high school student in Greenwood, Indiana, understood this. That’s why, when his school administration decided to let the seniors vote on whether they wanted to have an official school-sanctioned prayer at graduation, he tried to get it stopped. He wound up having to take the case to the ACLU, and a judge ordered that no school-sanctioned prayer could be held at the ceremony.

Over the past thousand years, or so, Christianity has developed a seriously bad reputation for blood shed, intolerance, and out-right dishonor. Just a few examples are:




The Crusades, where a bunch of Kings and Knights from all over Europe decided “in the name of Christ” to go conquer the holy land and take it back from the “Infidels.”




The Spanish Inquisition, where Spanish monks, under the direction of the Vatican, decided to round up all of the “unbelievers” and try out some new and interesting torture techniques on them until they either converted or died.




Then we have groups such as the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), who has taken it upon themselves to broadcast to anyone who will listen about how God hates everybody. Ok, not everybody, just gays, and pretty much anyone who isn’t them.




If someone were to look at even these few examples, and there are many others, it is no wonder that there are so many people that are turning to Atheism, Agnosticism, or other religions such as Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Paganism, etc…
