We disagree that imposing the death penalty follows from the lack of justice in the afterlife. On the contrary, the highly likely execution of innocent citizens would be exponentially more despicable in the absence of an afterlife.

This week, we talk about the new Saint Teresa of Calcutta. We discuss some of the myths surrounding her and whether it's better to let the false idea of her inspire people to do good than to tell people the truth.

This week, we talk about the movie directed by Mark Ruffalo, “Anything.” We discuss the portrayal of a trans woman by Matt Bomer and whether only certain actors can portray certain roles.

This week, we talk about France's burqini ban. We talk about oppressive rules about women's clothing and where to strike the balance between freedom of religion and protecting people from coercive religious beliefs.

We strongly denounce the use of violence as a coercive tool for political agendas over peaceful solutions respecting human rights. We strongly denounce the demand to impose sectarian beliefs of any stripe on our ostensibly secular nation.
