    I agree with most of what Russell said, but it is also true that clergy in Britain were strongly abolitionists--See Thomas Clarkson, for example, and in this country The Reverend Martin Luther King. Just to name two. There were, of course, those in the clergy who defended slavery because it is sanctioned in the Bible, but not all clergy did so, and many worked for the Civil Rights movement. Otherwise, I'm on board with with Russell, having read "Why I Am Not A Christian" many years ago.

    Also, there's a funny quote, I don't know who said it: "Only three people understand the General Theory of Relativity: Albert Einstein, Bertrand Russell, and God. LOL!

    Shaw named some good caveats.

      Caveats that all reasoned and tolerant non believers have likely so noted.

      No, I wasn't arguing with Shaw :)

      Though I will always take exception to calling those with different beliefs (not a lack of such) "non-believers"

On Greed and Compassion

By: WILL " TAKE NO PRISONERS " HART I quite resent this notion that the American people are somehow a greedy lot, and that they're only concerned about themselves. It certainly doesn't mesh with the world that I see and it doesn't mesh the data, either. According to the Charitable Aid Foundation, the United States is THE most generous country on the planet (65% of its citizens donate money, 43% donate personal time, and 73% help out strangers). And to think that this type of charity would somehow shrink up if in fact the government did decide to cut back a little is both ridiculous AND insulting..............................................................................................I also deeply resent the demonization of wealth and achievement in this society. It was, folks, the industrialists and business visionaries of the United States who truly made it the great place in which literally every frigging immigrant on the planet wan...

CNN Poll Showing Tight Race Going Into Debates...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny While Obama is leading in a CNN poll two days before the presidential debates there remains opportunity for Romney to close the gap. Obama's lead is within the margin of error. Understanding polls are at best statistical indicators of public sentiment, and they can be manipulated through the process of weighting, I do not place an abundance of faith in polls. I decided to post these results mostly as a realistic reminder to the euphoria the left seems to be enjoying at the present moment. Polls by ABC News/Washington Post, Politico/George Washington University, and American Research Group indicate a tight race as well. CNN has averaged the results of all four polls as well as a Fox News poll of last week and the results show Obama at 49% and Romney at 46%, again within the margin of error. It is clear Romney still has a window of opportunity if, 1) he handle himself well in the presidential debates and provide...
