I just posted my
first diary ever at
Street Prophets, Daily Kos' sister site dealing with religion and politics.
If you haven't been there before, you should go and check it out and I say this as an atheist. Street Prophets is an important place on the web and one which needs your attention! Like it or not, religion today is a very important part of politics and you need to get involved.
Here are some great recent articles and diaries from Street Prophets to get you started:
A good discussion about the novel Catch-22 and the similarities to today by Mahanoy
An unprecedented event! as reported by pastordan: religious peace protestors allowed access to a federal building to protest inside it!
Commentary by pastordan on why the torture bill is not about religion despite some trying to make it so.
Faithlessness and the Texas Courts again by pastordan. A fascinating analysis of a very unusual and possibly precedent-setting court case.
Fans of the lovely Elizabeth D can catch her on Street Prophets talking about an amazing package she received... from the 11th century!
Madrasas: Not Just for Muslims Anymore by djswriter reviews the frightening new documentary, Jesus Camp, about a a summer camp for militant fundamentalist christians.
Jason Pitzl Waters reports on a proposed change to the way Military Chaplains can conduct services, ending their formerly required non-sectarian nature, essentially allowing active proselytizing in the military.
As you can see, there's a lot there to read, and all in a lovely shade of blue which quite compliments orange.
