Harvard atheists shocked at exclusion from Boston bombing memorial service

"The Harvard Humanist Community was shocked Thursday when their members were, in the carefully-chosen words of New York Times best-selling author Greg M. Epstein, “blown off” and excluded from an inter-faith memorial ceremony for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing."

...now how stupid is that?

Unless the atheists consider themselves a religion, not stupid at all. Rename their club to the Harvard un-reasonable humanist complainers.

12 out of 13...

I made the mistake everybody else made: "Which gas makes up most of the Earth's atmosphere?"
It's also the question with the largest difference between men and women (27% correct against 14%)
Obviously women don't care about global warming !

I never heard of fracking before and it sounds like a made up word from BSG.

This is the new thing to watch as the doomsayers have moved from global warming to fracking, saying that it can trigger earthquakes.

Toronto court rules woman must remove niqab to testify
"The woman has been fighting for six years for the right to wear her niqab during the trial of her uncle and cousin, who are accused of sexually assaulting her when she was a child in the 1980s.

Weisman had first ruled in 2008 that N.S. must remove her niqab during testimony. That decision was appealed all the way up to Supreme Court.

The test set out by Canada's top court in December includes four issues a judge must consider, including: the potential witness's depth of religious belief, and whether the veil could lessen the fairness of the trial."

I'd say the opposite. He'll probably get many more Elvis gigs, his book published, and lots of TV apearances with all the publicity he's received. Few days getting rubber hosed by the FBI will be the best thing that's ever happened to him.
