God grief
Christopher Hitchens has attacked modern-day saints like Mother Teresa and Princess Di, but his new book takes aim at the most sacred cow of all: The Almighty.
By Giles Harvey [2007-05-10]

  • Barry Lynn

    I just want to give credit to Barry Lynn who is a devout Christian (a minister, I believe) and also the head of People United for the Separation of Church and State. He takes on the whacky fundamentalists frequently on television and we need more like him.

    Oh, I agree. The sad thing is this guy is so notable because he's such a rare presence in our society. In spite of the fact that over 90% of the population of the US describes itself as religious, and that supposedly "most religious people" think the fundies are "quacks", guys like Lynn are about as rare as snow in Phoenix.

    You religious moderates do realize the fundies will come after you next, don't you?
