Okay, here’s a news story that doesn’t involve religious people fighting each other. This time, it’s the atheists’ turn. Some atheists are worried about a militant group of people called “New Atheists,” who not only disbelieve in God, but want to make sure no one else believes in Him either.
The most pre-eminent New Atheists include best-selling authors Richard Dawkins, who has called the God of the Old Testament “a psychotic delinquent,†and Sam Harris, who foresees global catastrophe unless faith is renounced. They say religious belief is so harmful it must be defeated and replaced by science and reason.
Epstein calls them “atheist fundamentalists.†He sees them as rigid in their dogma, and as intolerant as some of the faith leaders with whom atheists share the most obvious differences.

17-year-old Du’a Khalil Aswad was stoned to death last month in Iraq for loving a boy of another religion. The girl was a member of the minority Yezidi religious sect, and was condemned by her family for having a relationship with a Sunni Muslim boy. Britain’s Daily Mail reported Friday that security forces witnessed the stoning but did nothing to stop it. The stoning became known publicly when a graphic video of the incident went out on the Internet.

There are a few important purchases that you make in your lifetime, but one of the most important and overlooked purchases is the purchase you make for your significant other. Diamond bracelets are some of the most dazzling presents that you could ever give to someone, but not just any kind or shape. Purchasing a diamond bracelet requires a bit of thought to actually be put into it. A woman would so appreciate the thought that you put into the bracelet, and the quality of it, it really means a lot when a guy puts thought into a present! Give your girl a diamond bracelet and let her know how much you care!

Members of Elkton Baptist Church in Kentucky returned to their cars after a prayer meeting to find bags of marijuana on their windshields. Ronnie Turner told police that God had told him to place the pot there. He has been charged with 47 counts of trafficking marijuana.
The pot bags came complete with a puzzling, handwritten note conveying the message ‘Peace poles Native American right.’
Each bag contained about a quarter of an ounce of marijuana worth about $20 - enough make seven to 10 joints, according to a local police chief.
47 bags of pot were handed over to police, but there is no word on whether or not this was the exact number that Turner distributed.

Every Friday, Muslim children can tune in to Hamas’ television station Al-Aqsa and watch “Farfour†preach against the US and Israel. Farfour is a black-and-white rodent that speaks in a high, squeaky voice and is very obviously a Mickey Mouse imitation. Only this mouse doesn’t preach love, happiness, and all things Disney – he preaches Islamic fanaticism.

I was unaware for a long time that there were credit cards for bad credit! Just because you do not have good credit, does not mean that someone will not give you a chance. I sort of messed up my credit about 10 years ago, and it seems like no one wants to give me a chance now that I make enough money to pay my bills and then some! Yeah, so I screwed up when I was 18, but I was young and did not understand the concept of credit! CreditCardSearchEngine.com can help people with bad credit get the credit card they deserve to start repairing their credit!

A 17-year-old Irish girl identified by the court as “Miss D” has been banned from travelling to England to obtain an abortion. The girl was removed from her mother’s care for reasons not divulged, and placed under the legal guardianship of the government’s Health Service Executive. Ireland is a predominantly Catholic country and abortion is illegal, though many Irish women get around that by travelling to England for abortions, where it is legal. The girl’s baby has been diagnosed with a rare brain and skull deformity and doctors say it would not live longer than three days after birth.

Police in Papua New Guinea were recently involved in a gun battle with people believed to be members of a human sacrifice cult responsible for murders and human sacrifices to their gods. Papua New Guinea has many adherents to Black Magic and other cultic religions. Police were held off by the cult members, and special riot police were called in to try to negotiate with villagers and bring the people responsible for the crimes to justice.

When I was in high school, I had a science professor who I admired very much. He would often skip great deals of the lesson he thought were unimportant. However, he would expound on anything you had a question on. He was a really brilliant man, but I always wondered why he couldn’t just buy some discount pens because he always sent me around the school to procure needed office supplies from other teachers.
