A video to emphasize that the pro-lifers who are against having abortion legal and safe are not taking action because the hateful people trying to force a religion on others but rather are good people who are just confused about what human life and consciousness really is. The confusion obviously comes from a society that makes it acceptable to take the Bible as a source of truth.

(From the Heart)

Mercedes Lackey's newest book is called Gwenhwyfar: The White Spirit, and is, as you can probably guess from the title, an Arthurian Legend retelling.



Lackey tells the story in her typical easy-to-read, accessible manner, bringing characters and events to life with aplomb. Although Lackey will probably never be recognized for brilliant prose or as divine literature, I love her work and this newest book did not disappoint.

She starts with the historical evidence that there were possibly not one, but THREE queens of Arthur named Gwenhwyfar, and although the story focuses on the third wife, Lackey works in the exploits of the other two, accounting for a lot of the contradictions and busy-ness that Gwenhwyfar would have had to have lived through if it had all been one woman. Lackey does an admirable job of using the wealth of Arthurian legend that is already available, and still spinning her own particular story about Gwen and her life.

Rich in detail, but with an unhampered pace, I recommend this for any of you who have enjoyed Mercedes Lackey's other works, or who love new takes on the Arthurian Legend.

Well, I've been sick the entire first week of November, so my kickoff to Nanowrimo hasn't had any start whatsoever.

All my ideas up and ran away.

I've gone insane.

It's Conservapedia's entry on Atheism!

Highlights of this Wise and Wonderful Article:

On Attempts to Dilute the Definition of Atheism:

"Charles Bradlaugh, in 1876, proposed that atheism does not assert 'there is no God,' and by doing so he diluted the traditional definition of atheism. Since 1979, many atheists have followed Bradlaugh's thinking further and stated that atheism is merely a lack of belief in any god. The motive for such a shift in meaning appears to be to an attempt to shift the burden of proof regarding the existence of God to the theism side."

Goodness, the audacity, shifting the burden of proof like that!

On Atheists in America and Charity:

"Concerning the issue of atheism and uncharitableness, the evidence indicates that per capita charitable giving by atheists and agnostics in America is significantly less than by theists, according to a study by the Barna Group: 'The typical no-faith American donated just $200 in 2006, which is more than seven times less than the amount contributed by the prototypical active-faith adult ($1500).'"

Three guesses what kind of organization the Barna Group is--and the first two don't count.

And no, it's not the scientific nature of the whammy. :D

People seem to assume Mulder really is CSM's son. I know that it was implied several times throughout the series that this might be true, but was it ever actually confirmed? (I haven't watched Season 9 yet, that's why I'm asking; don't be afraid to spoil me, I really need to know)

Ok we are always talking how awesome are Muldah and Scullz. Yes they are. But no, they aren’t everything called "the X files".

Last night I went to a friend's bday party at a really big coffee place.  It was just a regular coffee place that show cases bands and such.  She was really excited because it was open mic night and she was going to go up to read a poem she wrote.

( Continue Reading The Craziness.... )

Let's see.

1. He's said that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are part of a war on Islam.

2. He'd made posts comparing suicide bombers to soldiers who jump on a grenade to save their comrades.

3. He'd been placed on probation earlier in his career for trying to convert patients to Islam.

4. He was apparently so devout that he refused to even appear in his office Christmas photo, because that would require him to have his picture taken with a woman in the frame.

5. During a grand rounds presentation at a medical conference, he decided to regale the attendees with details of the punishments the Koran sets out for nonbelievers.

They have grand rounds, right? They, you know, dozens of medical staff come into an auditorium, and somebody stands at the podium at the front and gives a lecture about some academic issue, you know, what drugs to prescribe for what condition. But instead of that, he - Hasan apparently gave a long lecture on the Koran and talked about how if you don't believe, you are condemned to hell. Your head is cut off. You're set on fire. Burning oil is burned down your throat.

And I said to the psychiatrist, but this cold be a very interesting informational session, right? Where he's educating everybody about the Koran. He said but what disturbed everybody was that Hasan seemed to believe these things. And actually, a Muslim in the audience, a psychiatrist, raised his hand and said, excuse me. But I'm a Muslim and I do not believe these things in the Koran, and then I don't believe what you say the Koran says. And then Hasan didn't say, well, I'm just giving you one point of view. He basically just stared the guy down.

6. Witnesses report that he shouted "Allahu ackbar!" as he started firing.


How does Chris Matthews interpret all this? "We may never know if religion is a factor at Fort Hood."
