Diaries on or about religion are regular fare around here. I read most of them. I enjoy the exchanges that occur and find the charge and emotion around the topic adds spice to the discussion.

The following diary will raise ire with some. It will be controversial. Say what you wish in response, I can take it.

You may be offended by what I have to say. So be it. Many things I think when expressed frankly, offend others. Today, in this diary, I choose to not self-censor.

You don't know me. My opinions hold no more weight than those of another stranger. So save yourself some grief if you consider yourself the religious type and read no further.

I haven't seen this discussed here yet. I have always been a fan of the man and the writer. Suicide always seemed like something he could have in him. But the story about how he shot himself while talking to his wife on the phone just didn't wash with me. If you like conspiracies, check this out.

I have seen and heard a number of statements made by commentators on cable media that, to me at least, clearly advocates that laws be broken vis-a-vis the Terri Schiavo situation. Isn't this something that the FCC should investigate and crush? Where are they and how do we get them involved? Or are they only interested in TnA?

The polls on this feeding tube business seems to indicate one thing to me. When push comes to shove, most Americans are not interested in living in a theocracy.
