Good news to be sure. I wonder if the average Republican politician is smart enough to heed the data. *insert snarky comment*

Yes, yes it was.

Perhaps the administration from Shorter should consult with the cutting edge faith-based schools in Pakistan on how to keep faculty -- beheadings perhaps?

My recent post Some Thoughts On Dickishness

Thanks, it's always good to hear from someone who likes my material. Doing the funny can be risky, there is no doubt about it. But just like with anything else practice makes perfect.

Well, if Christian characters on TV reflected the general Christian population in America (ignorant of the bible, ignorant of other religions and hypocrites) then I'd be OK with it.

I typically retort that while everyone is entitled to an opinion that does not mean all opinions are equal or that they should go unchallenged.
My recent post Christian Scholar Says Judas Was A Homo

FDR pointed out that if a President is too far ahead of the general population, then he loses the support of the population. That being said, atheists should be focusing on grass roots organizing so that we can influence politicians at all levels.

"In this hypothetical situation, what exactly is the problem? You are not really being harmed by what I am doing, but my behavior is clearly annoying."

I respectfully disagree. As a person who has apnea (a sleep disorder where one doesn't get REM sleep) there is quite a lot of harm going on when one can't get solid sleep. This case isn't a question of simply being annoyed -- real harm is being done.

"Can door-to-door proselytizing really be viewed as an exercise of religious freedom?"

Yep. No harm is done to me when people show up at my door.

The thing is one does not have the right not to be annoyed. The whole annoyance issue is why many Christians vote against gay marriage. Being annoyed is the reason why people want to limit free speech.

I see myself as being in the business of annoying people (and hopefully making them laugh).
My recent post North Carolina Gives Gays Special Treatment

She's an executive director? (Yep, shoulda read a bit closer). Well, it's obvious that she's a horrible pick.
My recent post More Don't Burn the Qur'an Memes

OK, this is the first time I've heard of this woman (I've been working a lot lately). My main concern is that she does what she gets paid for. It seems like she's a mercenary with one eye to going back to the Republicans at some point. Does that mean she can't lobby effectively? I'm not sure on that.
