Governor Bentley did not waste any time creating controversy in the state of Alabama. The new governor stated during a speech at the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Church, “Now I will have to say that, if we don't have the same daddy, we're not brothers and sisters.

The God-is Billboard that replaced the "You KNOW its a MYTH" billboard at the outside of the Lincoln Tunnel has been vandalized.

Let me be clear: American Atheists does NOT support or condone any activity that results in vandalized property, either openly or secretly. We do not giggle about this under our breath or behind closed doors, because it's not funny, it's not clever, and it's not cool.

Freedom goes both ways. If we are to defend our right to free expression, we must do the same for others, even when they disagree. Read more about Vandalized God Billboard→

The Big Bang was an act of God, with divine will bringing the universe into being, Pope Benedict XVI told a gathering of Catholics at the Vatican. "The universe is not the result of chance, as some would want to make us believe," Benedict said Thursday, according to Reuters.
