I like CRF because they truly seem to be in the business of helping people, not profiting off people's misfortunes. They have an outstanding record with Charity Navigator, and the head of the organization only draws a modest salary.

Also, look at all those people in Arizona that died in that sweat lodge. They paid up to ten grand each, but it seems that they listened more to the fantastic promises of a self-help guru than their own reasoning.
I am not equating "Twilight" with either of these situations, I just wanted to say that it seems that for many people, whether adults or children, the line between reality and fantasy is getting blurrier and blurrier for them. I think it is prudent to remind people that some fantasies are not helpful to a person's life.

Interestingly, the "Spurious Quotes" section debunks many of the common "sayings" that are erroneously attributed to Jefferson.
Also, I would love to hear more about your statements of "Biblical revisions and omissions made by kings and politicized, bureaucratic clergymen."
Then again, maybe this isn't the place for this subject. However, I would appreciate it if you can point me to a reliable vetted source proving your assertions?
For everyone, if you're looking for a decent book on Bible history, I would recommend either, "In the Beginning: The Story of the King James Bible and How It Changed a Nation, a Language, and a Culture" by Alister McGrath or "Wide as the Waters : The Story of the English Bible and the Revolution It Inspired" by Benson Bobrick. Both books are objective and well researched and free of unprovable claims.
