Rowan LeCompte is awesome

While waking up this Saturday morning, I heard one of the best interviews I’ve ever listened to on NPR.  Rowan LeCompte, a stained glass artist who has contributed greatly to the Washington National Cathedral, is interestingly agnostic.  His explanation of a philosophy of kindness is wonderful.  Have a listen. (Start at 3:55 if you’re short on time) [Audio clip: view full post to listen]

A woman that should run for president

Here’s a nice email I got today: Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2007 2:13 PM Subject: FW: This Lady Should Run For President Here is a real woman who should run for President! Oh OK – let’s see what she has to say! Written by a housewife from New Jersey and sounds like it! This is one ticked off lady. Oh man, I’m scared!

Under God

They should fix this. It’s been there since 1954. It bothers me.

We were NOT founded on Christian values

As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion… This is my new favorite statement from the founding fathers. It’s the first line of Article 11 of the US Treaty with Tripoli, written in 1796, and signed by John Adams, the second president of these united States of America. So, the next time I hear someone spouting “this nation was founded on Christian values,” I’ll have this shoe of a [...]

144,000 Virgins

Apparently, according to the bible, it’s useless for me to become a Christian, so stop trying to convert me: Revelations 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which [...]
