Mark Shea gives us the news we've been dying to hear: this year's winner of the Richard Dawkins Award, which honors the person whose
contributions raise public awareness of the nontheist life stance; who through writings, media, the arts, film, and/or the stage advocates increased scientific knowledge; who through work or by example teaches acceptance of the nontheist philosophy; and whose public posture mirrors the uncompromising nontheist life stance of Dr. Richard Dawkins
goes to Bill Maher, the creative mind behind Religulous. The same Bill Maher
who tells us that germ theory is bunk, who says vaccination is a fraud, who knows more than the whole medical community about the illusion we call "AIDS", who is a vocal and dangerous advocate of all manner of scientific quackery. That's the guy the Apostle of Reason and Science Richard Dawkins selected to receive his prize. Why? Because he's a noisy atheist and that's all that matters.
The savage irony is that Dawkins has chosen to "lionize a guy whose scientific ignorance and quackery really could lead to actual physical harm and even death for people who take him seriously." Yet
nobody will ever die from thinking God created the universe or having some doubts about the proposition that hydrogen is a substance which, if you leave it alone for 13.5 billion years, will turn into Angelina Jolie.
That's because "no cost is too great when your real project is not 'promotion of science and reason' but 'attacking Jesus Christ, no matter how stupid and irrational your ally is.'"
What a sad statement about the growing culture of death in the Netherlands: Advocates for euthanasia and assisted suicide are celebrating a decade of their legality by hosting a weeklong film festival called the "Week of Euthanasia."
Sadly, after getting their foot in the proverbial door, the advocates continually redefine the criteria for which people "request," voluntarily or involuntarily, suicide. READ FULL ARTICLE »

Susan G. Komen Should Reverse Its Reversal
By: Ginny Mooney|Published: February 6, 2012 2:28 PM
I’ve had two cousins with breast cancer saved by early detection.
I support the tremendous work The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation is doing to raise awareness of breast cancer, increase early detection, and help reduce mortality rates form the disease. Yet I believe Komen should reverse its recent "reversal" and stop funding Planned Parenthood -- even though its support is earmarked for breast cancer education, screenings, and mammogram referrals.
Late last week I had a chance to see a new film called October Baby, set to open in theaters March 23. The movie tells the story of a college student who belatedly learns that she was adopted -- and that she's a survivor of abortion.
Give them credit: That's a perspective that I believe has very rarely been shown on film before.
All this has exposed a lot of facts that had been glossed over or ignored before. It's quite something when you see the founder of Komen stating on the front page of the Washington Post that Planned Parenthood does not do mammograms, only referrals. READ FULL ARTICLE »
