Two for Tuesday – Atheism
This is my coming out. I am an atheist. I was born and raised Church of Christ. We attended three to four times a week. I was baptized twice, once at the age of 12 and again in my early 20s. I attended a Christian school in junior high and high school. I have read the Bible in it's entirety

How to Forgive – wikiHow
http://www.wikihow.com/Forgive Sorry to have to thumb this down, but I don’t subscribe to this point of view. I feel there are times when a person’s anger and outrage are justified. Repeating some mantra in your head about sending good blessings is crap.
Darwinism did not cause the Holocaust
Darwinism did not cause the Holocaust. From the page: “Hitler had a lot of support in Germany. His horrible bidding was done by millions of ordinary German footsoldiers, and the great majority of them were Christians. Many were Lutheran, and many (like Hitler himself) were Roman Catholic.

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed Review
http://www.tvguide.com/movies/expelled-intelligence-allowed/review/293361 I’m sick and tired of Creationists wailing about “no one listens to us!” when 78.5% of the American population identify themselves as Christian and the number of American Jews is at 6.4 million, or approximately 2.1% of the total population. So you’re telling me that over 80% of Americans believe in Creationism but no one listens to your drivel?

Homeschooling: A Growing Option in American Education
http://www.heritage.org/Research/Education/bg2122.cfm From the page: “Families cite common reasons for choosing to homeschool their children, such as concern about the environment at other schools, dissatisfaction with the academic instruction at other schools, and a preference for providing religious and moral instruction not provided in traditional schools.” My thoughts on homeschooling have changed considerably since my kids were younger. Perhaps parents can

http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1720697,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topics I don’t know about requiring parents who homeschool to have a teaching degree, but I do understand the logic… how can you expect to give a good education to your children if you are uneducated or misinformed?

Religion in the United States – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_the_United_States From the page: “A 2006 CBS News Poll of 899 U.S. adults found that 82% of those surveyed believed in God, while 9% believed in “some other universal spirit or higher power,” 8% believed in neither, and 1% were unsure.” Oh, come on! 82%!? I demand a recount! Surely there must be more than 9% of us who are
