The Catholic Church is doing a lot of puzzling things these days. After centuries of evasion tactics and BS, I think the world (including their believers) are on to their tricks. Journalists are having problems hiding their raised eyebrows/outrage/sarcasm. Read the news here.
Today's headline article is Gordon Brown's secularist Labour party. There is hope after all! Also check out two interviews about two new books out now - an expose on Evangelicals and a book about God's Brain. On a lighter note: ZOMG 3D BIBLE MOVIE
We have voodoo, Mexican secularism, WWII, quantum physics (it's your favorite - infinite regression!), Anglicans converting to Roman Catholicism because of their common intolerance for gays, priests who make sense, condom talk, and nuns affected by the economic recession. And Palin says something stupid.
Today is International Women's Day! In addition to the usual links, we have some great articles discussing women fighting for equality and religious reform,women at CERN (Angels and Demons stuff, people!), and an opinion piece about ending maternal deaths. We also have an essay from Christopher Hitchen's brother about his faith and an expose about Scientology.
Today's FF links include a presidential endorsement, discrimination against gays, the Oscars, AI, sex and gay prostitution, and evolution. Same old, same old?
