Pat Condell is a fellow who doesn’t believe in any God and has harsh words for religion across the board. He is also a champion for free speech.

His latest on the Wilders trial is a must watch.

As you can guess I disagree with him on religion but I respect him very much for putting himself out there. When you can get people from three different faiths (counting myself) to embed the video of a world famous atheist then you know that you are doing something right.

Just what the Church needs.

another organization operating under the banner of the CABC (Catholics against being Catholic).

There is a word for people with said beliefs, it is a perfectly good word that has been around for centuries. They are called Protestants.

If a person doesn’t like the church there are plenty of other denominations out there that are bleeding members and would welcome them with open arms.

…the opinion and the comment of our humanistic friends over this story at Vanderbilt:

Last week, a Vanderbilt University Muslim chaplain publicly acknowledged what those of us who study shariah Islamic law know… Awadh Binhazim, when pressed on whether or not shariah Islamic law requires the death penalty for homosexuals, asserted that yes, it does. Furthermore, he stated: “I don’t have a choice as a Muslim to accept or reject teachings.”.

Sense of events comments further:

As a graduate of Vanderbilt Divinity School, I know that the university generally and its religion departments specifically fully embrace conceptually and practically gay rights. The teachings of the Jewish and Christian scriptures that say that homosexual practice is sinful are either simply ignored or reinterpreted by the professoriate. This is a very strong institutional value of the university.

So what are we alums to make of Awadh Binhazim

What indeed? Over to you guys.

Exit question: Memeorandum doesn’t list this story, would that be the case if it was a person of a Christian denomination? (trick question we already had that answered last week)

Today I asked for the definition of “Christianist” among other things from our friends on the left after a post at a blog called: “Joe my God”.

No answer on that one yet but perhaps the answer can best be given from another post from the same site backed up by Americablog and a group called crew urging the president to avoid the “Shadowy” national prayer breakfast.

Now this is an event that has taken place for 57 years if Wikipedia is to be believed and has hosted such dangerous “Christianist” as Bono, Elizabeth Dole, Tony Blair and that dangerous Mother Teresa she of the “dark side of faith”.

Now there is a danger of me doing the same crazy uncle business that I accused Joe my God of doing, after I’ve never heard of CREW but I HAVE heard of Americablog.

The question are this: Have we have reached a point where an event that has taken place for half a century is now shadowy? Do mainline democrats object to the national prayer breakfast or not? What mainline democrats are willing to denounce it? Is Tim Kane head of the DNC willing to denounce it?

If not, then I’m likely dealing with a group of crazy uncles myself and I should ignore them.

One important point; this event is not to be confused with the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast
