SOURCE Mahablog notes that any crowd can potentially kill. SOURCE Who Attacked Mumbai? Does It Really Matter?Since 2003 more than 700 have been killed in India by terrorist attacks.

Today’s Question by Ruth - (USA)
In your novels, you transmit a wonderful magical world, full of spirituality and goodness, and you insist that goodness is not limited to a place, religion or group. How did you reach this conclusion, especially with all that you went through earlier in your life? The cost is always high but worth it. If I look back at my life – which in this moment I am “obliged” to look at since a biography about my lyricist days just came out in Brazil and soon another will come out by the end of the year –

Suns of God: The Orion Revelation - John Jay Harper - (USA)
Strangely interesting article from Reality Sandwich . There is a big dose of WOO here, deserving of the capital letters, but I still found this interesting for some reason - probably the reference to shamanism. Suns of God: The Orion Revelation John Jay Harper The following article is based on the author's new book Tranceformers: Shamans of the 21st Century . " Man is the Measure of all Things.

Young Adult Appreciation Month: (Post-)Apocalypse/Dystopia Day - (USA)
The apocalypse is nigh, and the world will never be the same. Today, we bring you three books about the end of the world as we know it…and what happens in the aftermath. ********** (I feel like channeling Rod Serling today. Maybe because of all the Twilight Zone talk yesterday, or maybe because as I’m writing this review there’s a marathon of the show on SciFi right now – and yes, I spelled that “SciFi” because I refuse to spell it the new idiotic way) Exodus by Julie Bertagna

A Child’s Choice? - (USA)
I woke up this morning to an appalling article in the local paper. Daniel Hauser has what doctors consider one of the most curable types of cancer, Hodgkin’s lymphoma. But the 13-year-old from Sleepy Eye, Minn. and his parents don’t want him to have chemotherapy and radiation, the standard treatments. For the past three months, they have ignored the advice of his cancer specialists and turned to natural therapies, such as herbs and vitamins, instead. Yes, it’s partly appalling because

Why Communion on the Tongue - (USA)
“Like a weaned child on its mother’s lap.” (Ps 131:2) by the Most Reverend Athanasius Schneider, Auxiliary Bishop of Karaganda, Kazakhstan John Paul II in his last encyclical, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, has left the Church an ardent admonition that resounds like a veritable testament: By giving the Eucharist the prominence it deserves, and by being careful not to diminish any of its dimensions or demands, we show that we are truly conscious of the greatness of this gift. We are urged to do so b

AN EXCELLENT ARTICLE BY DR. BOB MINOR - (USA)
Dr. Bob Minor kindly gave me his permission to post the full text of this excellent article, and I'm very grateful to be able to share it with you. Following his article, I've included an excellent response by my good friend Don Charles that helps supplement Dr. Minor's article with advice that must be sufficiently reinforced if full and equal rights for LGBT people is to become a reality in the foreseeable future."Stop Supporting Religious Prejudice"By Bob MinorI hope by the time this appears,

Enough with the Special Rights Bullshit! - (USA)
Religious freedom is the first right guaranteed to us in the First Amendment. Special rights for homosexuals receive no explicit mention in the Constitution whatsoever. Yet now we must choose between liberty and the homosexual agenda because, it turns out, we can’t have both.Thus ended the latest ‘opinion’ missive from Mr. Bryan Fischer – one who some routinely address as ‘the village idiot’ – that was spotted last week in the pages of the Idaho Statesman. Every once in awhile I’d mull it arou

Is Spirituality and Commercialism becoming inter-wined? I believe that this maybe so! How many so called spiritual people out there that are selling a concept, and trend, and new way to become more aware, alert, more tuned into the humane race, the human body, the universe, the Astra Galaxies, etc, etc., where does it stop? For crying out loud people, just be true to yourselves, listen and then think about it, and then make up your own mind. Don’t be led by so-called experts, gurus, spirit

how progressive are you? - (USA)
On the subject of Political Correctness, my transcendental fascist sources apprise me of this useful test . A sample question: 3. Whenever you find yourself in a debate around God, spirituality and religion, you explain that… (a) You don’t believe in God(s), but are tolerant of all world religions as long as they don’t violate the founding principles of liberal democracy, equality and freedom. (b) You believe in God(s) or think there’s a deeper, maybe spiritual meaning to life, and con

Why Reagan Was a Better Friend to Gays Than Obama - (USA)
I really thought my Republican platform piece here at BH would have been my last for awhile. Plenty for readers of all stripes to chew on. And I got too many other things to do. The reason for my reluctant return is yet another critical issue the Obamamedia and our LibDem government are completely flat-lining on: the officially sanctioned exterminations of LGBTs in Iraq, and on our dime. Not to mention State’s cold and lame response. More on that later. Too much more, actually. First,

Riccardo Campa - Toward a transhumanist politics - (USA)
(Posted at RePublic) The central transhumanist idea of self-directed evolution can be coupled with different political, philosophical and religious opinions. Accordingly, we have observed individuals and groups joining the movement from very different persuasions. On one hand such diversity may be an asset in terms of ideas and stimuli, but on the other hand it may involve a practical paralysis, especially when members give priority to their existing affiliations over their belonging t

Nuclear Politics After Hiroshima and Nagasaki - (USA)
This was originally posted on countercurrents.org.As we reflect on the horrific atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki 64 years later, we should never lose sight of the ways in which the threat of nuclear war is wielded by the major nuclear powers and continues to shape world politics. Rather than focusing on crimes of the past, the author reminds us that we are still very much in the age of nuclear warfare.Although we are posting this piece, Kasama has a different view of the political analy

Human Morality V: The secular conscience - (USA)
This is the last in a series of five posts on morality. They are aimed at countering the usual religious claims for a god-given morality with current scientific understanding of how the morality of our species arose. Also, they at tempt to justify a non-theist objective basis for much of the moral decisions we make. The first post ( I: Religious confusion ) discussed some of the problems religion has in its understanding of morality and the second ( II: Objective morality ) argues for a non-thei
