shakatanyMany years ago I remember reading a story by Philip Jose Farmer called "Moth and Rust" (1953) where an underground organization attempts to overthrow the repressive combination of church and state known as the sturch. It seemed unbelievable then but now...
In light of that I've been trawling the Internet sea and have come up with some interesting catches.
Theocracy Watch about the Rise of the Religious Right in the Republican Party. Scary.
Found an iteresting site called Truthdig: Drilling Beneath the Headlines with Sam Harris' An Atheist Manifesto where he points out most of us are atheists in regard to Zeus and Thor (it's just that some of us have extended it to include Yahweh too).
The Panda's Thumb which is "the virtual pub of the University of Ediacara. The patrons gather to discuss evolutionary theory, critique the claims of the antievolution movement, defend the integrity of both science and science education, and share good conversation."
The Skeptics Annotated Bible. The site has a link to The Skeptics Annotated Quran.
Real Live Preacher is the blog of Gordon Atkinson, the ordained minister of Covenant Baptist Church in San Antonio, Texas. He's written a very interesting post on exactly what the Bible says in regard to homosexuality.
A collection of the cartoons that the Moslems are protesting against and others here.
I just came across the Universist Movement and it sounds very intriguing. I've always been a seeker unable to fully accept the established scriptures of any faith (yet I believe there is something beyond us) so it's nice to know that there are may be others like me out there. I'm leaving now to explore the site.
