Rastafari: The Secret History of the Marijuana Religion Posted: 3 months ago by nickcobb
The world’s most profound movements begin with a great enlightenment. People hear of this epiphany that changes lives, and become disciples to spread the word. Over years and centuries these true believers form churches to meet and celebrate their beliefs and traditions while encountering opposition and persecution. The cannabis culture has its own profound religion borne out of three important epiphanies that happened serendipitously around 1930, and one more when religious prophet Bob Marley was born on February 6, 1945.

The Big Religion Chart Posted: 2 years ago by 2manyusernames
The ReligionFacts "Big Religion Chart" is an attempt to summarize all the complexities of religions and belief systems into tiny little boxes on a single, quick-reference comparison chart. Yes, of course this is impossible. As we always warn with our comparison charts, this is no substitute for reading about religions in greater detail, talking with religious adherents, etc. But this religion comparison chart can (hopefully) be a useful and accessible way to "get the gist" of some unfamiliar groups and compare basic beliefs and practices of the world's religions and belief systems.

Einstein's view of religion revised Posted: 2 years ago by pocksucket
It has long been assumed that Albert Einstein weighted science and religion equally, but a letter written by him in 1954 may well revise that.
Describing god as the expression and product of human weakness and the bible as a collection of primitive legends does not sit well with the previously held assumption that he weighted science and religious belief in equal regard.
An abridged version of the letter, which is due to be auctioned on Thursday, can be read here

The Christian Right Killed the Republican Party Posted: 1 year ago by muppet
When Ronald Reagan began courting the religious right in his bid to win the Presidency, I doubt he knew he was spelling death to the lean tenets of Goldwater conservatism. Yet soon afterward, under the thumb of right-wing religion, the Republican party became a bloated fool, stuffed with hypocrisy, greed, and anti-intellectualism. In 2008, the price is being paid through lost elections and a loss of public trust.

The lives of these young people would be much easier, adult nonbelievers say, if they learned at an early age how to respond to the God-fearing majority in the U.S.
