					<description><![CDATA[The body-mind connection was discovered many thousands of years ago in India, and yoga emerged as a physical-spiritual practice that purported to join body and brain together with the incorporeal Mind of all existence, variously known as The All, Brahman, and God. In the yogic view, the body is a vehicle and conductor of spiritual [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Roman Catholic notion of Limbo was a triumph of graciousness over cruelty. In this case it was the cruelty implicit in the doctrine of hell. Human decency is more powerful than any creed. Let’s back up and review the Christian soteriological scheme prior to the medieval creation of Limbo. In Catholic Christianity, all souls [&#8230;]]]></description>

After scraping seven of ten commandments from the tablets, Evangelicals [&#8230;]]]></description>

The point here is that it takes humans to believe or disbelieve in Gods, and billions of years passed before any humans appeared on the [&#8230;]]]></description>

And they were taught to hate this particular man by the man himself. It ‘s as if the man looked Humanists in the eyes and said, “I was [&#8230;]]]></description>

Okay, so religion itself is off limits as a criterion of merit or demerit. But can the effects of one’s religion be seen as a disqualification? Suppose a [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Disease is one of God’s oldest instruments of smiting. God shows divine disapproval for human behavior and sin by giving us diseases. There is a fake scriptural passage from Hezekiah 5:5 that’s probably not far from real.  It goes: “I am the God of the virus and afflictions all.  Gather, that I may show thee.” [&#8230;]]]></description>

After bit of cogitation, she stood up an atheist. Her reasons? To say that God has ‘mercy’ on humanity can only mean that God’s laws [&#8230;]]]></description>

Read his words in the gospel of Luke 5:32 and you can arrive at no other conclusion: “I have not come to call the righteous, but [&#8230;]]]></description>

And a political person can become loudly political, as is the case with American evangelical politics. Political religion has much to lament.
