Here in the political west, we are somewhat insulated by such stuff, but as you can see it is something being entertained in the UK, a country that once sent Christian missionaries out to all of the world!

It seeks to answer the same questions as religion does. It provides a way to view the world like religion does. It is just religion without the name. Wow, yet another reason to get rid of the UN.

What such benighted utopians have never understood is that they are not actually opposed to religion (and its attendent inspiration) but only proposing an alternative religion of existentialism or some similar belief system.<br/>Great blog!

Alas, it is much worse.

The danger of disbelieving in God is that man will believe anything.

NGO status from the UN - what kind of weight does that carry and is it difficult to get that status? This is an issue we can't turn a blind eye to, even though it does seem like nonsense that a majority couldn't possibly believe. I sure hope Dolphin is right.

Adults being prohibited from sharing their beliefs are a running theme in many of his books. It's sci-fi, but coming soon to reality. A Catholic school in Kansas was forced to remove crucifixes from the classrooms after the government got involved and declared that exposing children to such graphic depictions of violence was child abuse.

This, despite the fact that it was a private school that the parents chose to send their kids to and paid extra for.

But we can still go to a public movie theater to watch “Hostel”.
