  In reply to grandma7.

  Im British and as a nation we are hugely proud of the NHS and the consensus over here was that it was a brilliant uniquely British ceremony no overt nationalism, laced throughout with humour and fully representative of our fine country. Plus awesome tunes and were know responsible for the first lesbian kiss on saudi arabian tv!

  But im sure your god/beckfest was brilliant

• David Barton Part I: An In-Depth Look at the Harsh Criticisms of the Conservative Historian

  July 25, 2012 at 9:51am

  Its nigh impossible for any historian to be unbiased.

  Left-wing historians highlight the facts that aide them and hide the facts that do not as is the case with Mr Barton.

  Even original sources can be misrepresented by selective quotations and often original sources carry their own bias

  it is best to read a selection of work across the political spectrum before reaching any conclusions; in the case of Jefferson he was neither a hardcore atheist or a hardcore evangelical he was somewhere inbetween

• ‘This Book Galvanized the Murder of Millions’: Israeli Lawmaker Blasted After Tearing Up Copy of the New Testament

  July 18, 2012 at 4:20pm

  In reply to Individualism.

  Stalin Mao etc. didnt murder millions because they were atheist (even if it is debatable) they did it for power, there are evil atheists and evil religious people. Professed belief in a deity does not make one incapable of genocide nor does professed disbelief.

  As an atheist I’d rather we all kept our beliefs to ourselves and argue about things were theres actually a known answer

• Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood Candidate Officially Sworn In Amid Fresh International Concerns

  June 30, 2012 at 11:13am

  God forbid a middle eastern nation is allowed to vote for there own president?

  The Egyptians had a free vote and chose the muslim brotherhood, im not sure why the US should have a say in who leads other countries.

  Regardless the Army still holds all the power in Egypt and will tolerate Mohsi aslong as he doesn’t antagonise the US to the extent military aid is cut.

  Hopefully the Egyptian consitution which is in the process of being written will enshrine personal freedoms of belief and protect womens rights, it is being written by a coalition which should dilute any overtly Islamist influence
