Dave Silverman, Communications Director for American Atheists, will be the guest tomorrow (Tuesday, November 8, 2005) on the MSNBC public affairs program “Connected Coast to Coast” with Ron Reagan and Monica Crowley. Dave will be discussing the role of religious belief in the selection of justices to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States, and the prospect of a “Catholic dominated” court. Would such a court take up and overturn cases dealing with abortion right (ROE v. WADE), civil liberties, and First Amendment issues like vouchers, school prayer and “special rights” for religious groups? (see Washington Post article at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/06/AR2005110601134.html Does religious belief and affiliation matter? Dave will be discussing this controversial topic with Ray Flynn, former U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican. Tune in to MSNBC tomorrow, Tuesday November 8, 2005 between 12:00 noon and 1:00 PM ET. WHO & WHAT: Dave Silverman, Communications Director for American Atheists discussing religious belief and the battle for the Supreme Court.
Zac Hunter (and others contemplating place like Canada as an “escape”): Running away to leave the most powerful country in the world in the hands of right-wing extremists is highly irresponsible. We need to get more reasonable people to move here, not away. Sponsor some Canadian friends, or something. If anyone is going to move out, it should be the religious right types. They could move to… Um. Actually I can’t think of anywhere that would actually welcome these guys. Can you?
Yeah, I sho’can. Greenland seems to be the perfect place. It is sparsely polulated by Eskimos and is under Danish rule. Just think! They could build igloo churches all over the place!
I think it?s ironic that the only people who claim that humans are too advanced to have evolved naturally are the ones who demonstrate the least advanced mode of thinking.
