The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has narrowly held (9-8) that Ten Commandments displays in classrooms are OK b/c students are not "taught to adopt them." Oh, sure, prominent displays in classrooms are just there for aesthetic reasons.

Ron Lindsay's column will not appear this week, as Ron has been left literally dumbfounded by Trump's post of himself as Jesus followed by the absurd (and cowardly) explanation that it was meant to be a post of a doctor.

In his column today, Ron Lindsay reviews yet another book-length lament about how atheism leaves us without direction, forcing us to choose how to live. But all of us choose how to live. Atheism is just honest about this. secularhumanism.org/exclusiv…

In his column today, Ron Lindsay argues we should not let Christians determine how we celebrate the holidays, incl. Dec. 25. The Cath. Church picked that arbitrary date to take advantage of an existing Roman holiday. Talk about cultural appropriation! secularhumanism.org/exclusiv…
