Religious Threadjacks

H/T @Suranis for the additional research. CatholicVote.org is a conservative PAC so it is no surprise the article sugar coats the excommunication and hypocrisy of the Church. To say the excommunication had nothing to do with the molestation is disingenuous. Without the molestation it doesn't happen...

The rise of Christian Nationalism

I have to side with Sam on this one. Atheists are a diverse group. Our universal dogma is a lack of dogma and no need for a 'supreme' being to dictate or even inform morality. I find the fairly new meme by theists that "Atheism is a religion" to be amusing. It's meant to be an insult I su...

Okay. Weird. I think it's been on my birthday twice in my life when it's been early, but I don't think it will again in my lifetime. Thanks.

Why Easter is early this year, I think, although it has been earlier. Actually no, there earlier than normal equinox played no role. According to the Ecclesiastical calendar the Vernal Equinox falls on March 21 regardless of when it really falls. So the earliest Easter can occur is March 22 if the ...

I was surprised to open up this topic and find that at least in the Eastern time zone adding the Leap Day this year pushed the equinox forward into the last hour of March 19th. Of course I had to check out what was going on and it turns out this is the earliest Vernal Equinox in 128 years. The last ...

Not new.

Brito signed the complaint against Cohen. (It was voluntarily dismissed months after its filing.)

Brito also shows up in the FEC filings.

The bottom line is that Wade will be off the case, Willis will stay and the case will go forward. Willis needs to act quickly on a replacement for Wade. I am sure there are competent and willing prosecutors from which she can choose.

I think she is running in the primary being held the same day as the special election. Very confusing. She has to win the primary to run in November.
