Books Articles World Peace Now
If you could do something to bring about World Peace, wouldn’t you want to try? Published: 2001-06-29 The Power of Hatred
The ability to hate is an undeniable trait of humankind. Although we often hear that Christian "love" can overcome all the failings we possess, in 2000 years it hasn't happened. Instead, the Bible seems to intensify a believer's own proclivities. Published: 2001-08-19 Separate Church & Medicine
The American public is being held hostage by religion -- by those who consider using fertilized human eggs for research to be wrong, even when the eggs are excess from fertility treatments. Published: 2001-09-02 Christian Reconstructionism: Threat to Liberty

Most people don't care what other people believe, so long as it doesn't affect them--so long as it's "no skin off my nose!" But what about those times when other people's beliefs ARE affecting you and you don't even know it? Times when other people use their religious beliefs to decide what medical services will be available to you? Times when your nose is being skinned and you don't even know it!

The recent vote in the U.S. Congress on the Religious Freedom Amendment (RFA) should be a wake-up call that there are forces determined to make this a religious government.
