Atheists led by PZ Myers are trying to deny the will of the people of Ohio in selecting a sticker handed out at the polls on election day. Up until this past Thursday or Friday, a very patriotic sticker with the Ohio motto -- "With God, all things are possible" -- was in the lead with over 40% of the vote. The atheists have been manipulating the vote, which closes Monday, because of their personal dislike for that motto. Please help turn this back around. Thank you! http://www.sos.state.oh.us/SOS/ElectYourSticker.aspx?page=1634

The party of civility is at it again. Moments after the Wisconsin Senate approved limits on unions, liberals took to the internet to spew their hatred and animosity. Worse, there are hundreds of examples of deranged liberals calling for the murder of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. For example (explicit language censored):

<p>His Marxist comments about spreading the wealth around, (over) taxing the wealthy, successful people making too much money, punishing successful corporations, bankrupting successful industries, the flawed constitution not going far enough in the areas of economic redistribution and what the government must do FOR the poor, etc, are now be surpassed by comments and actual policies openly inciting racial tensions and class warfare. His current comments and policies are anti-border security, anti-white male, anti-Christian, anti-Constitution, anti-Capitalism, anti-Liberty and anti-America. His overstepping Marxist regime is now openly working against Christianity, against state governments, against the will of the people and he's actually starting to threaten the TEA Party Movement. Even calling out the SWAT Teams against Tea Party protesters.</p>

The Governor of Virginia Bob McDonnell has restored the rights of six State Police Chaplains to pray publicly "in Jesus name," reversing the policy of his predecessor Governor Tim Kaine who forced the chaplains to deny Christ or resign from their jobs. "This victory comes after our two-year campaign for Jesus name," said Chaplain Klingenschmitt, who led a 1,000 person rally outside the Governor's mansion in 2008, then submitted up to 15,000 petitions to reinstate the chaplains jobs and free speech. "We faxed voter guides to 2300+ Virginia pastors last summer, comparing Bob McDonnell, who campaigned for chaplains rights to...

For if we ever begin to suppress our search to understand nature, to quench our own intellectual excitement in a misguided effort to present a united front where it does not and should not exist, then we are truly lost. –Stephen Jay Gould [Y]ou’ve heard me complain about scientific organizations that sell evolution by insisting that it’s perfectly consistent with religion. Evolution, they say, threatens many peoples’ religious views — not just the literalism of Genesis, but also the morality that supposedly emanates from scripture. Professional societies like the National Academy of Sciences — the most elite organization of American...

St. Paul, MN (LifeNews.com) -- P.Z. Myers, professor of Biology at the University of Minnesota Morris, turned his sights this week to pro-life pharmacist Mike Koelzer of Kay Pharmaceuticals in Grand Rapids, Michigan, who had stopped selling contraceptives in 2002 due to their abortifacient nature. Myers instructed his readers to take action against the pro-life pharmacist, by emailing him, boycotting the pharmacy, and picketing and protesting his speaking engagements. "I think Mike Koelzer is a contemptible, sanctimonious ass, and I hope he goes out of business," said Myers on his blog on Monday. "If Mike Koelzer comes to your town...

A good question Sometimes my email contains a few good and sincere questions — and here's an example. This is probably the most common rock on which creationists founder: a profound misconception about what evolution says, and a natural human desire to see a guiding plan to the world. -- begin email quote I'm tormented. I appreciate the struggle many creationists are having about evolutionary science. I find myself tormented as I observe the world around me. What I seem to be focused on is how a plant or animal is self aware of it's need to evolve? How does...
