Oh also...

It's Blog Against Theocracy Weekend.


No comment on the fact that they picked Easter weekend for this. I agree with the general sentiment though. I do not and will not agree with any religious group, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Pagan, Pastafarian or otherwise, taking over and enforcing their narrow brand of faith on everyone. "Render unto Caesar" and all that.

Here are some of the things I believe in:

-God, the [Parent] almighty, maker of heaven and earth
-Christ
-The Holy Spirit
-NO religious discrimination
-End-of-Life Care (no more Terri Schiavo OR Tirhas Habtegiris travesties)
-Reproductive health decisions made by individuals, not religious "majorities"
-Democracy not Theocracy
-Academic integrity
-Sound science
-Respect for ALL families
-The right to worship, or not to.
