Remember that gay-for-Jesus band Creed?
Creed Singer Scott Stapp Is Broke and Living in a Holiday Inn
http://gawker.com/creed-singer-s…
Creed has sold something like 30 million albums in the United States, but today lead singer Scott Stapp revealed that he is "penniless" and living in a Holiday Inn.
Earlier this week, the Miami Herald reported that Stapp's wife, ex-Miss USA Jaclyn Stapp, filed for divorce and asked for full custody of the couple's children. In her filing, Jaclyn released recent text messages she says she received from Scott, including:
▪ "Florida is not safe. Biological weapons on the way. U have to leave with kids and meet me in Atlanta."
▪ "I'm coming to get you Satan and children. No mercy. You know how this ends. God created you and now God is ending you."
▪ "God is also telling me something about Palm Springs and Nashville so there's a connection somehow. He's also telling me DEA for some reason."
▪ "Wells Fargo working out my account problems. I'm out of gas. Haven't eaten all day. I'm asking if they can spot me $1,000 so I don't fall over from malnutrition."
▪ "I wouldn't doubt it if the CIA is behind Alcoholics Anonymous."

^stories like this are moronic, i_monk... there is not one 'normal' person of faith (christian, jewish... muslim or the like) that would do this to their child. Not really an intellectually honest example of the nuttiness you're trying to attach to religion.
- and yet, it is attached and declared, sadlymonospaced
- she's nuts though, mono... faith doesn't teach you that killing your child will send them to heaven... or maybe it does in...PonyBoy
- ... some religions... fuck if I know. :/PonyBoy
- in some middle eastern religion, killing oneself and others takes you to heaven plus bonus virgins in the afterlifemonospaced
- and, yes, it's moronic, and she's crazy, neither of which helps the case of religion at allmonospaced
- at least atheism with sprinkle of socialism is scientifically induced murder.yurimon

I didn't attach it to religion, she did.
- So, you admit you believe crazy people speak truth? :)PonyBoy
- Religion facilitates the crazy to do crazy things. Would she have "sent her kid to heaven" if she didn't believe in heaven?i_monk
- If the religion didn't preach that heaven is infinitely better? That we live forever there?i_monk
- I do agree w/you... religion def. is a facilitator for 'crazy'. She's either nuts or is using faith as an excuse though. This is not normal...PonyBoy
- normal here in the west. This is not how people of faith normally act on this side of the world... so it's not an honest argument against religion.PonyBoy
- against religion.PonyBoy
- In an era of anti-Islam it needs to be pointed out that Christians and other adherents can be put in the same spotlight.i_monk
- any ideology can be dangerous by crazies. look at Mao, Stalin, Hitler, the pagan genocide of Christianity.yurimon
- or other way around Christians genocide of pagansyurimon

"A very important third possible factor that may also account for the recent rise of secularity has nothing to do with religion. It is something utterly sociological: the dramatic increase of women in the paid labor force.
British historian Callum Brown was the first to recognize this interesting correlation: when more and more women work outside the home, their religious involvement—as well as that of their families— tends to diminish. Brown rightly argues that it has been women who have historically kept their children and husbands interested and involved in religion. Then, starting in the 1960s, when more and more British women starting earning an income through work outside the home, their interest in—or time and energy for—religious involvement waned. And as women grew less religious, their husbands and children followed suit.
We’ve seen a similar pattern in many other European nations, especially in Scandinavia: Denmark and Sweden have the lowest levels of church attendance in the world, and simultaneously, Danish and Swedish women have among the highest rates of outside-the-home employment of any women in the world.
And the data shows a similar trajectory here in America. Back in the 1960s, only 11 percent of American households relied on a mother as their biggest or sole source of income. Today, more than 40 percent of American families are in such a situation. Thus it may very well be that as a significantly higher percentage of American moms earn a living in the paid labor force, their enthusiasm for and engagement with religion is being sapped, and that’s playing a role in the broader secularization of our country."

An oldie but goodie:
Sumerians Look On In Confusion As God Creates World
http://www.theonion.com/articles…
Historians believe that, immediately following the biblical event, Sumerian witnesses returned to the city of Eridu, a bustling metropolis built 1,500 years before God called for the appearance of dry land, to discuss the new development.
