Trust atheists to horn in on the act when it’s a good thing. The good thing is the Mass that celebrates the birth of our savior, Jesus of Nazareth who became the Christ. Hence Christ Mass, or, as even the godless ones know it, Christmas.
Unfortunately for the penitential season that is [...]

God not welcome in D.C.

Washington D.C. is two cities: our nation’s capital, and home to some of the most liberal folks on the planet. Especially in Northwest, where there are a lot of Volvo-driving-Birkenstock-wearing people, who are famous for chiding the rest of us for not doing our part to support public education or the environment.

Richard Dawkins may be a tormented man; at the very least he is quite sure of his own gospel. He is perhaps best described as an atheist who if fundamentalist in his faith: that there is no God, and that faith in God is “The God Delusion.”.

There is no one who quite so fanatical about his faith as a self-declared atheist. And, after thousands of years of taking it lying down, they’re getting militant. At least in Europe, according to this fascinating article (subscription required) in the Wall Street Journal.
Atheists have been with us since the beginning of civilization. [...]
