Religion in the News
June was one more thrilling month in those exciting annals of Religion in the News. Let's see. A court ruled that a woman accused of doing Satan's work could sue a minister (the one who accused her of doing Satan's work) for defamation. All around the country, good people defied those hi-falutin judges who just don't know much of anything about the U.S. Constitution. A school board member made a Jewish student listen to the Lord's Prayer, and some hi-falutin judges are pondering whether that's legal. A public school told one of its teachers that she can't evangelize the students, and so she's going to see what some hi-falutin judges think of that. There was a holiday to commemorate a mad man who destroyed the work of a god some 3,000 years ago. A law professor tried to get some hi-falutin judges to see the obvious: a monument is not a law. Protestors showed their displeasure with a ruling handed down by some hi-falutin judges. And there were a few anniversaries in the exciting annals of Religion in the News.
Get all the details: http://www.misterthorne.org/NEWS/JUN_2003.htm Enjoy! BTW: If you know of anyone looking to hire a writer/editor, please let me know. Thanks. |

I enjoyed reading your news stories. I had never heard of the Virginia Act for Religious Freedom. You have an impressive resume. I'm sorry you find yourself in the position of needing (or wanting) a new job....Have you checked out Skeptical Inquirer Magazine, or humanist/Atheist publications?

Yeah . . . I've been checking out just about everything. As a matter of fact, the reason I started Religion in the News was to get my work out there. The results of the effort suggest that I'm doing something very wrong. Oh well . . . if fools don't know when to stop, then I'm a fool. Thanks again. |

Read the whole thing yesterday on my lunch break. Hi-falutin shouldn't be funny when used so much, but it was, and now I have hi-falutin judges stuck in my head.
If there's another one I'll read that edition too. |
