'9/11 Christians' Plan Their Own Church Near Ground Zero


Intolerance and hate have no place on the grounds of 9-11. So many nationalities, races, religions and other groups lost loved ones there. It should be a shrine to those who fell, and to the indomitable spirit of Americans to band together in any disaster and move forward.



For one group to claim a piece of the real estate while they express h@te and intolerance, especially one who claims to be followers of the icon of love and forgiveness, is to sp!t on the memory of our fallen loved ones and those qualities that make America great.



Muslims who want to build a center where the whole community can come together deserve our support far more than this gang of fake Christians.

Godfried Danneels, Belgian Cardinal, Offered To Keep Sex Abuse Case Quiet Until Bishop's Retirement


You're right, there are many, of all faiths, who find meaning, comfort, joy in something higher, spiritual. There are also some who prey on others, and use religion as a tool to find or control their victims. And you can often tell which type of person they are by their actions.



It's not the gospel of Christ or religion that causes abuse. That's entirely a human trait. We've seen what happens when people like that get into positions of authority, whether on a local or global level, whether secular or religious. Just don't let their actions sour your faith. There are plenty of us who keep looking forward with hope, looking up for comfort & guidance, and looking inward for change. In this crazy, mixed up world, it's more important than ever to nurture our faith.

Sharron Angle Won't Disavow Claim That Some Members Of Congress Are 'Domestic Enemies'


It makes me nauseous to think that I agree with Angle on something. Congress sold our voice to the lobbies years ago. And every year corporations dump millions into their coffers to keep their relationship strong. So strong that Congress regularly turns their backs on the citizens, ruins lives, undermines the country and gives themselves a collective pat on the back for a job well done. If that doesn't qualify them as enemies of the people, I don't know what does.

Glenn Beck Rally Will Be Like Moon Landing, Wright Brothers, & Rosa Parks All Rolled Into One Massive Orgasm Of American History


"Glenn Beck Rally Will Be Like Moon Landing, Wright Brothers, & Rosa Parks All Rolled Into One Massive Orgasm Of American History"



In other words the rally will be from another planet, barely get off the ground, taken away on a bus, and a self-induced euphoria for Beck's own history of hyperphenating into a microphone.

Michael Enright Charged With Hate Crime: Ahmed Sharif, Muslim Cab Driver, Attacked For Religion


The way we define a hate crime, it's almost like one life is more valuable than another. Used to be the heinous nature of a crime made it worse, now all we have to do is assign a race or gender difference and it automatically becomes the ugliest offense, with folks more insistent about seeing justice served. I think we should be more consistent with all criminals and less prone to react on our differences alone. Most crimes involve some kind of hate. Justice should be meted out by what they do, not by what we think their intention was.

Teen Hearing Loss: 1-In-5 U.S. Teenagers Has Slight Hearing Loss


It doesn't take an "expert" to suspect hearing loss from headphones and car speakers. Heck, my Schnauzer could figure that out. Here's how it went when I was a kid:



Dad: Turn down the music.

Me: What?

Dad: Turn it down right now

Me: What?

Dad: TURN DOWN THAT CRAP OR YOU"LL GO DEAF!

Me: What?
