Below are news articles that are of interest to Deists because they are related to religions, religious ideas, religious states, etc. Unfortunately, currently there are not a lot of articles strictly about Deism. As Deism and the World Union of Deists continue to grow, that will change. If you know of a news article that would be of interest to Deists, please email a link to it to deism@deism.com This page is updated every Monday through Friday. Thank you!

Conservative talk show host, commentator and Christian Tucker Carlson interviewed Israel-firster, Christian and US Senator Ted Cruz. This article brings up important differences the two have, such as supporting Israel because the Bible says that God said people who support the Jews and Israel will be blessed by God and people who curse Israel and the Jews will be cursed by God. It's pathetic and dangerous that 21st century politicians base their actions on ancient myths and superstitions, especially in a nuclear age.
In England, the House of Commons voted to legalize assisted dying for terminally ill people. Now the House of Lords will vote on it. It's expected to pass. Many religions are opposed to making it legal for medical professionals to help terminally ill patients to end their suffering. When Christians oppose it, they should be asked why they don't heal the patients, as their Christian Bible claims they can.
The European Union has said “there are indications” that Israel is in breach of human rights obligations over its conduct in Gaza, but stopped short of calling for immediate sanctions. That's amazing they said there are "indications", with Israel having killed well over 50,000 people including over 17,000 children and are preventing medical supplies and adequate amounts of food and water from entering Gaza.

This video on X shows how relentless the warmonger Israeli PM Netanyahu has been over the last three decades trying to get the US to start a war with Iran by falsely claiming Iran was months or even weeks away from having a nuclear weapon.
Polls show that more than half of the people who voted for Donald Trump do not want Trump getting the US involved militarily in Israel's war against Iran. For people who did not vote for Trump, the percentage is even higher.
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said there is no evidence Iran was working on building a nuclear bomb. The Jewish state of Israel must have another reason for starting the war against Iran. That reason is probably related to the myth in the Hebrew Bible that the land God promised to give to the Jews for a Jewish state includes the southwest portion of Iran.
June 18, 2025
The Baptists minister who is also the US Ambassador to the Jewish state of Israel, Mike Huckabee, sent a text to Donald Trump claiming God save Trump from being assassinated because God has a plan for Trump. Huckabee strongly implied that plan is for Trump to go to war with Israel's enemy Iran. Judaism and Christianity love religious wars when they know they have the upper hand.
One of Trump's promises that helped to get him elected was to put America first which includes keeping America out of wars. Now, with Trump's seeming interest in getting America involved in Israel's war against Iran, many of Trump's supporters are angry with him. Hopefully, he will not get the US military directly involved in the Jewish state of Israel's war.
Trump's intelligence people have said Iran is not building a nuclear weapon. When a reporter asked Trump about this, he said he doesn't believe them and that Iran is very close to having a nuclear weapon. Trump is taking the word of a foreign nation, the Jewish state of Israel, over his own intelligence people. He is being a useful idiot for Netanyahu and Israel.
June 17, 2025
Trump declared on Tuesday that “we now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran” and called for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” amid mounting evidence that the United States was considering joining Israel’s bombing campaign against the country. His using "we" instead of "Israel" shows the depraved thinking of Trump and of almost all US politicians from both parties. They see Israel and the US as one.
Here's an important article by US Senator Rand Paul about not sacrificing freedom of speech while opposing anti-Semitism. The pro-Israel powers attack freedom of speech in order to eliminate criticism of the Jewish state of Israel.
Israeli war criminal and PM Netanyahu is manipulating Donald Trump into joining Israel in its attacks on Iran. If Trump falls for this, the American troops will once again be fighting and dying for the Jewish state of Israel, just as they did in the Iraq War.
June 16, 2025
The Jewish state of Israel has started a war against the Islamic state of Iran. In a sneak attack on Iran, similar to its sneak attack on Egypt that started the Six Day War and its sneak attack on the USS Liberty during that war, on Friday. Things are going as well as expected for Israel, so now they're pressuring Donald Trump to help them by getting directly involved in their war.
This interesting and informative article brings to light the warmongering neoconservatives in the US and in Israel. The neocons are desperately trying to get the US into Israel's war against Iran. One thing the article overlooks is the religious reason for being of the neocon movement. It founder, the Jew Leo Strauss, believed the world should be based on the Hebrew Bible/Christian Old Testament, which promotes Jewish supremacy and Israel over all.
The war Israel has started against Iran moves the world closer to nuclear warfare, as this thought provoking article makes clear.
June 13, 2025
A French grandmother has filed a criminal complaint in France against the Jewish state of Israel for killing her two French-Palestinian grandchildren in Gaza. Israel has killed an estimated 17,000 children in Gaza and they're killing more every day.
"A British legislator has introduced a bill to stop judges from using the Public Order Act as a “de facto blasphemy law,” after two courts used the act to convict two individuals for burning Qur’ans." It's good to see someone standing up for freedom of speech and freedom of expression.
In some more good news, "Seven Arkansas families filed a lawsuit Wednesday challenging an upcoming state requirement that public school classrooms have posted copies of the Ten Commandments, saying the new law will violate their constitutional rights." The theocrats are meeting with some resistance.
June 12, 2025
The Jewish state of Israel has attacked Iran this evening. It's war criminal PM Netanyahu claimed the war with Iran will last as long as it takes. That's what he said almost two years ago when Israel invaded Gaza. Hopefully, Trump and US politicians will keep the US out of this religious war. Israel has been claiming for decades that Iran was just months away, and sometime only weeks away from having nuclear weapons. They were lying then and they're lying now.
Eric John-Moran Ladnier, 63, from Pass Christian, Mississippi considers himself to be a Christian prophet. He believed a man, Marion Becker, 43 had a devil in him. Ladnier therefore performed an exorcism on him. He told police the exorcism didn't go well, so he shot and killed Becker. The prophet is now in jail awaiting trial. I wonder if he can use the religious freedom defense.
When 36-year-old Blaine Keith Milam was 18 he believed his 13-month-old daughter, Amora Carson was possessed by demons. He and his 18-year-old girlfriend, Jessica Carson, therefore performed an exorcism on Amora which included biting her and beating her with a hammer. They killed their daughter because they believed in the harmful nonsense in the Bible about Satan, demons and devils. Milam was sentenced to death. He was supposed to be executed in 2010, but a judge postponed his execution. It was postponed again in 2019 and now it's been set again for September 25, 2025. This is another example of why it's very important to get the word out about Deism, so people realize none of the "revealed" religions are from God and that God gave us our innate reason and not religion.
June 11, 2025
A Christian faith-healing couple who killed their newborn daughter by using Bible-based faith healing and prayers instead of science and medical care were both sentenced to 20-45 years in prison today. Since our actions are based on our beliefs, it's important for people to have reason-based beliefs and not faith-based beliefs.
It looks like the people in the US military will be used to fight another war for the benefit of the Jewish state of Israel and for the careers of US politicians from both parties who profit from serving Israel and its wealthy and powerful lobby. Trump is saying the talks with Iran are not going well and the US is moving Americans out of the Middle East as is usually done before the start of a war. The talks Trump initiated with Iran over Iran's nuclear program seem like they were designed to fail so Trump could point to them and say he tried to avoid war but Iran refused to cooperate.
Israeli forces killed at least 60 Palestinians seeking food from Israeli-backed food distribution centers in Gaza. Everyday Israeli occupation forces kill Palestinians trying to get food.
June 10, 2025
Swedish activist Greta Thunberg was on a yacht bringing food, water and aid supplies to the people in Gaza who are under brutal attack by the Jewish state of Israel which is following a Hebrew Bible-based plan of genocide against them. Israeli military forces commandeered the yacht in international waters, which is illegal and is similar to Israel's cowardly and deadly sneak attack on the USS Liberty which was also in international waters. The Israeli forces took Thunberg and the other activists captive and brought them to Israel and later released them and deported them. Thunberg said that in reality, Israel kidnapped her and her fellow activists.
"A new Pew Research Center study measuring the evolution of the global religious population shows Muslims are the fastest-growing faith group, followed by the religiously unaffiliated. Though it remained the world’s largest religion, Christians declined percentage-wise among the world’s population between 2010 and 2020." It would be horrific to live under Islamic law. It is good to see that the number of religiously unaffiliated people is growing.
In Australia, A Sydney Muslim cleric is being sued in the federal court for alleged racial discrimination of Jewish people. This begs the question, are Jews a religion or a race.

Everyone is going to die. This fact is used by the "revealed" religions to place fear in people and then get them to believe the way out of their fear is Christianity, Islam, etc. This article is about fear of death and how it's used in Christianity. In Deism, there is no fear of death. This quote from Thomas Paine helps to explain why there is no fear of death in Deism: "I consider myself in the hands of my Creator, and that He will dispose of me after this life consistently with His justice and goodness. I leave all these matters to Him, as my Creator and friend, and I hold it to be presumption in man to make an article of faith as to what the Creator will do with us hereafter."
The Southern Baptists Convention is the largest Protestant organization in the US. It will hold its annual convention this month. One of the main topics will be women as pastors. The Christian Bible is so clear on this, it shouldn't be a topic of discussion in any Christian sect. One example is found at 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 which teaches, "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." Misogyny is part and parcel of Christianity and all of the Abrahamic man-made "revealed" religions.
Here's an interesting article about the a Druid organization called A Druid Fellowship. It seems there are a lot of rituals in the pagan religions.
June 6, 2025
Here's an interesting article about how the Jewish state of Israel is using starvation as a weapon against the people in Gaza. As usual, Trump and politicians from both parties are fully cooperating in this cruel practice.
Israel's ongoing genocide against the people in Gaza, they've already killed more than 54,000 people, the majority of whom are children and women, is causing not only France, but a growing number of European nations to go against the Jewish state.
"At a worship service filled with drumming, praying and clapping, people representing a wide diversity of faiths gathered at a religious event of WorldPride, a 50-year-old, global LGBTQ+ festival that is being hosted by the District of Columbia this year." The article also states that there was a lot of scripture reading at the event. I wonder if they read Leviticus 20:13 which claims God commanded the Jews to kill gay men. The ancient Jewish clergymen who wrote the Bible claim God commanded, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." And I wonder if the women at the event, especially the women Christian clergy members, read 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 which teaches, "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church."

"France’s President Emmanuel Macron says he will decide 'in the next couple of days' whether France will harden its position against Israel and take concrete steps over the Gaza war. So far, the only thing Macron and France have done about the genocide the Jewish state of Israel is committing in Gaza is to talk. However, some people think France may recognize and independent Palestinian state.
"Standing alongside Macron at a press conference, Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva accuses Israel of carrying out 'premeditated genocide' in Gaza. 'It’s a premeditated genocide from a far-right government waging a war against the interests of its own people,' he says." Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to recognize it's not a matter of politics, its bedrock reason is the "revealed" religion of Judaism and its myth that all of that land was given to the Jews by God.
Gateway Mega-church founder and Christian clergyman/con-man Robert Morris "has pleaded 'not guilty' to five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child stemming from the alleged abuse of the now 55-year-old Cindy Clemishire in the 1980s. HOWEVER, court filings show that Morris had told church elders that he knew Cindy Clemishire was only 12-years-old and the time he was sexually abusing her. The church elders didn't make it public more than likely for financial reasons, as they probably knew it would hurt donations from the faithful.

Religion depends on fear to keep people in the pews. Fear that Satan or some other demon or evil spirit will get them if they don't believe in the right religion. The Roman Catholic Church is big on this. It has hundreds of exorcists keeping up the lie that Satan is out to get you and you need the Catholic Church to protect you. This article is from a Catholic publication about the new scary movie that will be released this week, The Ritual. The article claims the spooky story the movies tells is a factual story. By perpetuating the lie that Satan and demons are out to get you, the Catholic Church, along with the Bible, is contributing to people being harmed and even killed during exorcisms as happened last week to a six-year-old boy whose mother believed he had demons and God wanted her to perform an exorcism on him. She killed him during the exorcism. Here's our page about kids being killed due to the belief in the need for exorcisms.
Donald Trump is being obedient to Israeli PM Netanyahu and Israel's powerful lobby as well as to one of his biggest financial contributors Miriam Adelson. He is doing this by changing the conditions on a nuclear agreement with Iran. Previously he agreed Iran can keep low level enrichment that would be strictly monitored. Now, he's demanding the Iran completely shutdown its nuclear program.
"Activist missionary and worship leader Sean Feucht, who previously insisted that Christians should be ruling America because of their righteousness, has been accused of unrighteous financial, spiritual and moral misconduct by former workers of his multiple ministries." Here's the site Feucht's former workers put up documenting their charges against Feucht.

Israeli soldiers/religious terrorists opened fire on people in Gaza who were trying to reach an aid station to get food for their families. They killed 27 people and wounded many others. This is the ungodly and brutal Hebrew Bible coming alive in the 21st century! It's all about Jewish superiority based on the Hebrew Bible/Christian Old Testament.
Tucker Carlson, the conservative commentator, attacked Jewish Republican Congressman Randy Fine for saying that Gaza should have nuclear bombs dropped on it. It seems many younger conservatives are leaving the Republican Party due in large part to the Republican Party being so subservient to Israel and its powerful lobby.
Mezuzahs are scrolls from the Torah that religious Jews attach to their door posts. Christian influencers are now promoting and selling mezuzahs for Christians. Since Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism, and Judaism claims God chose the Jews "above all people that are upon the face of the earth" it's not surprising Gentiles who are under the influence of Christianity want to be more like Jews.
June 2, 2025
Our beliefs are what determine our actions. If your beliefs are based on false information, like the Bible or Quran is the Word of God, bad things can happen. This is the case of a mother in Florida who believed God told her to perform an exorcism on her six-year-old son. During the exorcism she killed her son. God gave us reason, not religion!
"Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip opened fire early Monday as people headed toward an aid distribution site a kilometer away, killing at least three and wounding dozens, health officials and a witness said." Part of a genocide campaign is to starve the victims of the genocide, which the Jewish state of Israel is doing.
Yesterday in Boulder, Colorado, 45-year-old Mohamed Soliman threw close to 20 Molotov Cocktails at a pro-Israel demonstration. He injured 12 people. He told police that his attack "had nothing to do with the Jewish community and was specific in the Zionist group supporting the killings of people on his land (Palestine)."

Anti-genocide activists from 31 different nations are planning a march to Gaza to demand immediate humanitarian access to the people suffering hunger and daily military attack at the hands of the Jewish state of Israel. June 12th is the date for the march. Unfortunately, Israel couldn't care less. They will only listen to military force. If Western nations sent troops to the entry points to Gaza, food, water and medicine would get in.
In Jordan, warehouses full of food for the starving people in Gaza is decaying. This is due to the Hebrew Bible-based Israeli government not allowing the food into Gaza. The Bible really does come alive in the "holy" land - cruelty, genocide and all!
"Community members concluded a 24-hour vigil at Harvard University on Wednesday during which the names of almost 12,000 children slain in Gaza by Israeli forces were read aloud, signifying only a partial list of child casualties documented by the United Nations Children’s Fund, which found that at least 50,000 Palestinian children have been killed or wounded in the embattled enclave during 600 days of U.S.-backed genocidal slaughter."
May 29, 2025
Many people in Ireland are leaving the Roman Catholic Church. This has inspired a Roman Catholic priest who is also an exorcist to warn the people of Ireland that people leaving the Roman Catholic Church is opening the door to demons!
Here's an interesting article about an experiment regarding the double-slit experiment, in which a wave is split into two separate waves and then become a single wave again. "An advanced version of the famous double-slit experiment has directly measured a single photon in two places at once" which has the physicists who performed the experiment stating that the experiment could destroy the idea of a multiverse.
Here's a book review of “Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet,” which comes out in June from Yale University Press. The book makes the point, among other things, that the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon), Joseph Smith, did practice polygamy.

The "heroes" of the Israeli "Defense" Forces have outdone themselves in their genocide attacks on the Gentile people in Gaza. This time they have bombed a prosthetic limbs hospital in north Gaza. This is part of their plan to force and herd people from northern Gaza to central and southern Gaza. Eventually they want to herd all the people out of Gaza and replace them with the self-proclaimed "chosen" people of God, Jews.
Monday night in northern Gaza, in Gaza City, Israeli occupation forces bombed a school that was being used as a shelter for homeless Gentile Palestinians. Their bombs set the school on fire and burned to death at least 31 people including 18 children and six women. In the video of the fire on the linked to page, you can see 7-year-old Ward Al-Sheikh Khalil walking to get out of the fire. Her mother and five siblings were all killed in the fire. As Israeli officials always claim when they bomb civilians in shelters, that there was a Hamas command and control center in the shelter, they did so again with this war crime. And, as usual, they offer zero evidence for their claim.
The Islamic terrorist organization of Boko Haram is making a resurgence in Nigeria. Boko Haram has split into two factions, "one is backed by the Islamic State group and is known as the Islamic State West Africa Province, or ISWAP. It has become notorious for targeting military positions and has overrun the military on at least 15 occasions this year, killing soldiers and stealing weapons, according to an Associated Press count, experts and security reports." The other is "Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad, or JAS, has increasingly resorted to attacking civilians and perceived collaborators, and thrives on robberies and abductions for ransom." We'd have a much better world without the "revealed" religions!
May 27, 2025
The Texas legislature passed a bill that will require every public school classroom to have the 10 Commandments posted in the classroom. The Christian theocrat governor Greg Abbot said he will sign it into law. It's tragically funny that Gentile Christians think the 10 Commandments are for them, when the reality is they are for Jews.
In England, a man is on trial for burning a Quran in front of the Turkish embassy. It's a crime in England, and in many other nations, to say to do something that can cause distress in someone!
This article is about thousands of "far right" Jews who marched in a Palestinian area of Israeli occupied Jerusalem shouting, "Death to Palestinians" and "Death to Muslims." They article classifies these Jews as "far right" and "Zionists." However, they are religious more than anything else because Judaism is all about Jewish supremacy and the Jewish state of Israel over all.
May 26, 2025
Here's a powerfully thought-provoking article asking what you did during the livestreaming of the genocide the Jewish state of Israel is carrying out in Gaza. It's well worth the read.
"Father Cristian Meriggi, an exorcist priest of the Archdiocese of Florence, Italy, shared the five spiritual weapons he uses and recommends to combat the devil and his influence." The "revealed" religions were all started by men who wanted to control their fellow human beings. Fear works wonders in controlling people. The superstition of Satan, devils, demons and jinn cause very real problems and suffering. Not just the suffering of people living under the weight of that fear, but of people being harmed and killed in exorcisms, including helpless and innocent children. It's time people let go of the ancient superstitions/religions and embrace their gift from The Supreme Intelligence/God of innate reason through Deism.
This informative article points out that the recent victory for the Jeffersonian principle of separation of church and state may not last long. When the US Supreme Court made its ruling in the case Okla. Statewide Charter School Board v. Drummond, which allowed the decision of the Oklahoma Supreme Court preventing tax dollars being spent to create and run a Roman Catholic virtual charter school, to stand, it left the door open for future challenges.
May 23, 2025
"In a move that pushes the boundaries of Constitutional prohibition against a state religion, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth hosted an evangelical prayer service in the middle of the day at the Pentagon in which a pastor praised President Donald Trump as 'sovereignly appointed.'" The Christian theocrats never stop in their attempt to completely destroy the secular American Republic the Founders created. And they do it while either being deceived or being dishonest and pretending they don't know any better even though American history is clear they are wrong.
The United Nations reports that Palestinians in Gaza are in the "cruelest phase" so far of the Jewish state of Israel's genocide against the Gentile Palestinians. The cruelty Israel is demonstrating is truly of biblical proportions.
In some great news for people who value the Jeffersonian wall of separation of religion from government, the US Supreme Court left in place a ruling by the Oklahoma Supreme Court rejecting an effort by a Catholic virtual charter school to become the country’s first religious charter school and to be funded with tax dollars. The justices on the case, Okla. Statewide Charter School Board v. Drummond, gave a split vote with four in favor of using tax dollars to pay for a religious school, and four against and one justice who recused herself from the case. However, the theocrats of the religious right are likely to bring a similar case before the US Supreme Court in which all six Christian theocrat justices will decide the case.
May 22, 2025
Two Jewish Israeli embassy staff members were shot and killed Wednesday night as they were leaving the Jewish Library. The shooter yelled, "Free, free Palestine!" Israeli PM and warmonger Netanyahu, along with many other Israeli officials, blamed the killings on France, England and Canada due to these nations opposing the genocide the Jewish state has been inflicting on the Gentile people in Gaza. Netanyahu claims the nations that are opposed to Israel's genocide are "on the wrong side of humanity"! To date, Israel has killed in Gaza over 53,000 people with over 17,000 of them being children.
"The Archdiocese of New Orleans agreed to pay nearly $180 million to victims of clergy sexual abuse under a settlement announced Wednesday, the latest in a string of settlements by the Catholic Church." It's important to realize the leverage the clergy have over people, particularly over children, when they are seen as being representatives of God. We need to let children know they are only representative of superstition.
A Pew Research study shows that 1 in 3 Americans consult astrology, tarot cards or a fortune teller. The group of people who most often do this are LGBQ+ people. The Deist and leader of the European Enlightenment said, "Only because a host of experiences belied predictions, did men at last perceive that the art (astrology) is illusory; but, before being undeceived, they were long credulous." It looks like we're going backwards on this!
May 21, 2025
"A federal judge’s ruling in Massachusetts provides the first court admission that a Zionist extremist group is working with U.S. authorities to violate free speech rights." The Zionist extremist group is Betar Worldwide. Freedom of speech must be defended for as the Deist George Washington said, "If Men are to be precluded from offering their sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences, that can invite the consideration of Mankind; reason is of no use to us — the freedom of Speech may be taken away — and, dumb & silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter."
Fear is an essential part of Christianity, and of all the "revealed" religions. That's why the clergy invented Satan, demons, jinn, evil spirits etc. This article is about Roman Catholic exorcists. The superstition of evil spirits, etc., causes real world pain and even the deaths of children.
Orthodox Jewish groups are strongly supportive of Donald Trump's tax and spending bill. If passed, it would give up to $5,000.00 as private school vouchers for students. Orthodox Jews send their children to Orthodox Jewish schools, so this would pay for most, if not all, of an Orthodox Jewish student's tuition.
May 20, 2025
Is Donald Trump beginning to break free of subservience to Israel and its powerful lobby? If he is, it will be truly putting America first and will save the lives and limbs of American military members and BILLIONS of American tax dollars. Here are some insightful articles addressing this important question.
England has announced it is suspending free trade talks with Israel due to Israel's unchecked slaughter of Palestinian children, women and men in Gaza. Also announced are sanctions against the Jewish state for its continued and expanding cruel and illegal occupation of the Palestinian West Bank. Hopefully, Trump will stop supplying Israel with the weapons, bombs and missiles it is using in its genocide.
Here's a thought-provoking and inspiring article about how photons can travel at the speed of light and not lose any energy. The universe is truly and profoundly wonderful and amazing!
May 19, 2025
US Vice President Vance decided not to visit the Jewish state of Israel. The official reason given was logistics. However, the real reason is that Vance doesn't want it to appear the Trump administration supports Israel's increase of slaughtering Palestinian children, women and men in Gaza with Israel's new Operation Gideon's Chariots. However, the Trump administration is supporting Israel's genocide of the people in Gaza by supplying Israel with the weapons, bombs, missiles, etc. to carry out the genocide.
It looks like the US Supreme Court will make rulings at the end of next month that will knock giant holes in the Jeffersonian and Constitutional wall of separation between church and state. One of the three rulings involves using tax dollars to directly create and operate religious schools.
Rural religious colleges are facing falling interest by young people. Many of them are going out of business. It's great to know that many people are beginning to question the "revealed" religions, in this case Christianity, and are freeing themselves from them.
May 16, 2025
The terrorist Jewish state of Israel has plans to conquer and rule Gaza. This is very predictable since Israel is based on the genocidal Hebrew Bible in which it is claimed God gave all of that land to the Jews for a Jewish state. The main point of the Hebrew Bible is Jewish superiority and the Jewish state of Israel over all.
Christian clergyman and admitted pedophile Robert Morris wants $1 million from Gateway Church and annual payments of $800,000.00 until he turns 70, at which time they would be reduced to $600,000.00.
Kathryn Krick is an up and coming member of the Christian clergy. She is a self-proclaimed 'apostle' and faith healer. This has some Christian clergy members upset.
May 15, 2025
The terrorist Jewish state of Israel is ramping up its slaughter of Gentile Palestinians in Gaza. In bombing just last night they killed over 100 people, many of whom are children and women.
Logan Rozos is a recent graduate of New York University (NYU). In his speech to fellow graduates he said, “The only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine. The genocide currently occurring is supported politically and militarily by the United States, is paid for by our tax dollars and has been live-streamed to our phones for the past 18 months. I do not wish to speak only to my own politics today, but to speak for all people of conscience, all people who feel the moral injury of this atrocity. I condemn this genocide, and complicity in this genocide.” In an attack on free speech, NYU is withholding Rozos' diploma. We should take to heart and mind this important statement by the Deist George Washington, "...reason is of no use to us if the freedom of Speech may be taken away — and, dumb & silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter."
"Every year on May 15, Palestinians around the world pause to memorialize what they call the Nakba, or “catastrophe,” that displaced a majority of Palestinians during the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948." Now, after witnessing the ongoing genocide being committed by the Jewish state of Israel against the Gentile Palestinians in Gaza, more Jewish groups are recognizing the Nakba.

"Robert Morris, the founder of Southlake-based Gateway Church, one of the nation's largest congregations, appeared before a judge Friday in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, on charges of sexually abusing a child in the 1980s." The "reverend" Morris has admitted to sexually abusing a child in the 1980s, BUT he's filed a plea of not guilty! When you spend your life promoting something that doesn't make sense, in Morris' case promoting Christianity, doing things like admitting your guilt and then pleading not guilty should be expected from these fake human beings. We should all be thankful for his victim, Cindy Clemishire, who has the courage and character to make sure the clergyman pedophile is prosecuted for his ungodly crimes.
The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests and Bishop Accountability, an organization dedicated to helping victims of pedophile priests and working to see that pedophile clergy are fully prosecuted for their crimes against children, is taking issue with the new pope, Pope Leo XIV, over how he neglected to bring pedophile Catholic priests to justice. Some groups that have close ties to the Roman Catholic Church claim Leo has shown he takes sex crimes against children by Catholic priests seriously.
Christian clergyman and televangelist, and convicted felon, Jim Bakker is telling his followers to raise $1 million or his ministry and his home will be taken from him. 85-year-old Bakker was married to Tammy Faye Bakker and in the 1980s he was convicted of fraud after he diverted $3.7 million from his ministry to his own bank account to pay for his lavish lifestyle which included a fleet of luxury automobiles.
May 13, 2025
Pope Leo XIV wants to strengthen ties between the Roman Catholic Church and Jews. The Jewish state of Israel and many Jewish organizations are upset with Leo's predecessor Pope Francis. This is because Francis spoke out against the genocide Israel has unleashed on the people in Gaza. Francis even said charges against Israel of genocide should be investigated. If you're opposed to Jews committing genocide, that causes you to be labeled anti-Semitic.
"Popular kids’ content creator Rachel Griffin Accurso, known as Ms. Rachel, addressed the ongoing backlash over her advocacy for Palestinian children, saying in a recent interview that 'it should be controversial to not say anything.'” To date, Israel has killed over 17,000 kids in Gaza. The genocide continues.
In Massachusetts, a Muslim woman was beaten by her ex-boyfriend. He was arrested. She was supposed to testify in court against him. However, she refused to remove her niqab, a veil worn by some Muslim women to cover their face and body, excluding their eyes. A judge ordered that she remove her niqab when she testifies so the jury and defendant can see her face. The district attorney’s office filed an emergency petition with the Supreme Judicial Court asking that she be allowed to testify in her niqab. The request exposed a deep tension between the constitutional rights of religious expression and a defendant’s right to confront his accuser. Both are engrained principles of the US Constitution. However, if she really wants to be a good Muslim woman, she would not file charges against her ex-boyfriend who beat her since the Quran teaches at 4:34 that Muslim men who fear a woman may become rebellious towards them should scourge/beat the woman.

A new report from Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, the Jewish state of Israel kills one woman in Gaza every hour. Currently the number of women killed by Israel is 7,920. The Hebrew Bible/Christian Old Testament is alive and well today in Gaza!
The Trump administration worked out a deal with Hamas in which Hamas freed 21-year-old Edan Alexander from captivity in Gaza. Alexander is an Israeli soldier and has both Israeli and US citizenship. He's the last prisoner Hamas has who is a US citizen. Trump did this without Israel. It currently seems that Trump is not as submissive to Israel as US presidents have been since after the assassination of President Kennedy.
A Christian author, Jennie Allen, has written a new children's book intended to help kids overcome anxiety with quotes from the Christian Bible. I wonder if her book includes Psalms 137:9 which states, "Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." Or another Bible story about children is Numbers 31:17-18 which has the Jewish "prophet" Moses giving this command to the Israelite army regarding the children of the Midianite people Israel just militarily defeated: "Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves." And according to the anonymous author of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus was in favor of following the Torah command to kill children who curse their parents (Matthew 15:3-6). It's not in line with our innate God-given reason to believe these Bible verses would help children, or anyone else. You can read more about this topic on our page about protecting children from the Christian Bible.

This article is well documented and covers the Jewish state of Israel's ongoing genocide against the people in Gaza. It also mentions how not only Donald Trump assists Israel in its genocide by supplying the bombs, missiles, etc. that are being used to slaughter tens of thousands of people, over 15,000 of which are children, but also that Joe Biden and his administration did the same and lied about it.
Israel does not refer to the Palestinian West Bank as the West Bank. Instead, Israel uses Judea and Samaria which are based on the Hebrew Bible prior to Rome wiping Israel/Judea and Samaria off the map in 135 CE. US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee is a Southern Baptist clergyman who believes all they myths and nonsense in the Bible about Israel. He recently visited the Palestinian West Bank and said, “I have never used any other term than ‘Judea and Samaria.’ It would be a historical injustice and a blasphemy against the Bible to use any other terms. President Trump loves this country. You have sacrificed a lot to live in these places. You have paid with blood, sweat, and tears. This place is a miracle. Only the existence of God can explain your existence here. I believe in the Bible, and I have no faith without you. I owe you a spiritual debt. The Jewish people are a revolution, teaching us how to live in the world. Jewish existence represents life according to God’s rules, and that is why so many people in the world want to kill Jews. Because they want to kill God. You represent God’s presence and His choice in this land. You are not alone. We stand with you, and so do many in the world. Whoever does not stand with you, does not stand with God.” This must mean if you're opposed to what Jews say, including their slaughter of thousands of children, then you are opposed to God. And as the US Ambassador, Huckabee's statement represents America.
"Trump’s US Department of Justice (DOJ) announced this week—with no apparent sense of irony or shame—that it will investigate whether a new Washington state law requiring clergy to report child sex abuse allegations is anti-Catholic." It says a lot about how disgusting the Roman Catholic Church is in that it opposed this new law. Trump's DOJ is just as disgusting for investigating a law that protects children from pedophile clergy.

Here's a good article by a Jewish Israeli about all the thousands of Palestinian children Israel is killing in Gaza. It encourages Jewish Israelis to not avert their eyes from the many pictures of dead children in Gaza. The only point in the article that is superficial is that it claims the killings in Gaza was brought on by the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. It fails to mention the reason for the attack on Israel is the Jewish state's brutal and expanding and illegal occupation of Palestinian land and homes.
“Every Easter, the Lord will take me to Hell. Not my choice. He wants to do it and I don't like it. The Lord allowed me to sit in front of demons and ask them questions.” That's a statement by Micah Turnbo who is the prophetic ministry pastor at Vineyard Church Northwest in Cincinnati, Ohio. Luke Haselmayer, senior pastor of the Vineyard Church Northwest in Cincinnati, Ohio, defended Turnbo after he was recently dismissed as a false prophet by Mike Winger of the BibleThinker online ministry. (That's a hilarious name, BibleThinker! A person can't objectively think and apply their innate God-given reason to Christianity and become or remain a Christian.)
This article points out that Pope Francis did not take serious actions to stop the pedophile Roman Catholic priests from raping and harming children. Survivors of these priests are hoping the new pope will take serious and meaningful action. More than likely, he won't.

The Jewish state of Israel is cracking down on human rights organizations in Gaza. They don't want the people in Gaza to receive meaningful help while also trying to silence the accounts about the genocide the Jewish state is committing in Gaza.
It looks like Israel is going to conquer and occupy Gaza. They've already killed over 52,000 Palestinians, the majority of who are children, women and the elderly, and now people are starting to die from starvation since the Jewish state won't let any food or water into Gaza. From the perspective of Judaism, and Israel is a Jewish state based on Judaism, Gaza is part of the land God allegedly gave to the Jews for a Jewish state that would last forever, and brutality and genocide are a big part of the Hebrew Bible.
Here's an interesting article about bodyoids. Bodyoids are lab-grown human bodies without brains. They can potentially bring an end to organ shortages for people needing hear, kidney, liver transplants. Since they do not have brains, they cannot think or feel pain and would bring an end to animal testing which is often very painful.

India, a majority Hindu nation, has fired missiles into Islamic Pakistan today in retaliation for a Muslim organization that killed 26 civilians in an attack in Kashmir on April 22, 2025. Kashmir is disputed between India and Pakistan. Both India and Pakistan have nuclear arsenals.
Here's an article by a Christian clergyman in a Jewish publication. It teaches Christians to not try to convert Jews to Christianity, but to honor Jews as God's chosen people. He uses a lot of quotes from Paul, aka Saul, which makes clear the reliance of Gentile Christians on Jews.
In some good news, "Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has dropped all charges against seven pro-Palestinian protesters arrested last year on the University of Michigan Diag." Nessel is Jewish and a Jewish organization sent a letter of support for Nessel to the court. It seems the letter backfired and caused Nessel to drop the charges against the students who were only exercising their Constitutional right to free speech.
May 5, 2025
"Israel will not withdraw from the Gaza Strip even if there is another hostage deal, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich insists, calling on Israelis to embrace 'occupation.'” By not withdrawing, the Jewish state is following its Hebrew Bible, as Gaza is part of the land the ancient Jewish clergymen who wrote the Hebrew Bible claimed God gave to the Jews for a Jewish state.
"New York University School of Law barred 31 pro-Palestine law school students from campus facilities and demanded that they sign away their right to protest in exchange for being allowed to return. If the students — deemed 'personae non grata,' or PNG — don’t renounce their right to protest on campus, they will be unable to sit for final exams." This is yet another attack on free speech in order to protect the Jewish state of Israel from criticism over its ongoing genocide in Gaza.
The is article is from a Protestant Christian site that claims the Roman Catholic papacy goes against the Christian Bible. As religions gets more and more into politics and government, the US could be headed towards secular warfare, just the thing America's Founders were concerned about and which caused them to create a wall of separation between church and state.
May 2, 2025
"Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky blasted the Congress for pushing new speech restrictions, particularly antisemitism measures that would restrict criticism of Israel on school campuses." Senator Paul said, “We’re either a free society governed by the Constitution, or we’re not. We need to challenge hate with reason, not censorship.”
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), which attempts to bring water, food and other humanitarian supplies to the people in Gaza, reported that one of their ships in international waters off of Malta was attacked by a drone. They believe the drone was an Israeli drone.
NASA's new SPHEREx space observatory was launched on March 11, 2025. It is now being used to map the entire sky. It will chart the positions of hundreds of millions of galaxies in 3D.

Here's an interesting exchange at the White House regarding the recently released documents on the assassination of President John Kennedy. The reporter points out that the documents show a connection between the CIA and Israel and mentions how JFK was pressuring Israel to allow inspections of its nuclear program in an effort to prevent the Jewish state from building nuclear bombs. He asked if Donald Trump will admit that Israel has nuclear weapons.
Christian theocrats are enjoying another victory in the march towards turning the US into a Christian Bible-based theocracy. Today Donald Trump created the religious liberty commission. This is a violation of the Jeffersonian principle of separation of religion from government.
In Nigeria, the Islamic terrorist organization of Boko Haram is increasing its attacks against Christians. They've recently murdered dozens of people and burned down a church and homes.

Mohsen Mahdawi, an organizer of the pro-Palestinian movement at Columbia University and a permanent US resident, was arrested by US immigration police in April because of his opposition to Israel's genocide against the people in Gaza. Today Federal Judge Geoffrey W. Crawford of Federal District Court in Vermont ordered Mahdawi to be released from custody. Upon his release Mahdawi stated, “I am saying it clear and loud, to President Trump and his cabinet: I am not afraid of you.”
This article/interview is about/with Stanley Carlson-Thies. He's a Christian clergyman and sneaky Christian theocrat. He worked in the first White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives which was started by the Christian warmonger George W. Bush. That office funnels tax dollars to religious organizations. Carlson-Thies tries to make people think that is not theocracy.
St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School v. Drummond is a case that may open the floodgates of US tax dollars going to religious schools. Today the US Supreme Court heard the case. There are three liberal justices and six conservative justices on the US Supreme Court. One of the conservative justices, Amy Coney Barrett, recused herself from the case. However, all five of the conservative justices seemed to strongly side with overturning the lower court's decision and allow tax dollars to pay for the Catholic school.

Itamar Ben-Gvir is the Israeli minister for National Security. He recently met with Donald Trump and some high-level Republicans. Itamar said the high-level Republicans were in favor of his plans for the Jewish state to bomb Palestinian food and aid depots in Gaza. Genocide is very much in line with the Hebrew Bible/Christian Old Testament.
Christian clergyman and spiritual adviser to Donald Trump, Robert Jeffress, has a new book that informs Christians that they have nothing to fear in the end times. That's because Jesus will keep them safe. Jeffress said, "You can’t be a Christian and not believe that Jesus is coming back literally and visibly to rule over the Earth." As the story goes, Christians will be safe and everyone else will be destroyed.
The number of Roman Catholics in Australia is falling. In an effort to counter this, a Catholic priest has become a social media influencer.

In the Jewish terrorist state of Israel's Hebrew Bible-based slaughter/genocide of the people in Gaza, Doctors Without Borders reports that 70% of the burn victims are children. US politicians from both parties continue to send Israel billions of dollars worth of bombs, rockets, ammunition and weapons to use against the children of Gaza.
Here's an interesting article/podcast about people believing in God but not belonging to one of the ancient religions. It points out that about half of Americans born since the 1980s say they seldom or never attend religious services. Yet, 83 percent report believing in God or a universal spirit. That means they have Deistic beliefs. Deists need to do all we can to reach these people and let them know they are not alone in their beliefs. This is what the World Union of Deists has been doing for 32 years.
This article is primarily about Donald Trump and a possible war with Iran. He does a lot of double-speak. At the end of the article he is more clear regarding free speech and anti-Semitism. He thinks freedom of speech does not include speech that is anti-Jewish and/or anti-Israel, which he labels anti-Semitic.

Donald Trump's spiritual adviser and leader of the White House Faith Office, Paula White said it's not hard for wives to submit to their husbands. Misogyny is key to all of the Abrahamic man-made "revealed" religions.
An Israeli Christian group took issue with the Jewish state of Israel's lack of respect concerning its response to the death of Pope Francis. In a letter it is stated, “Silencing mourning for a global Christian leader sends a message of exclusion and abandonment.” Pope Francis spoke out against Israel's unrelenting slaughter of children, women and men in Gaza. In the eyes of many Jews and many US politicians who are deep in the pockets of Israel's lobby, this is anti-Semitism.
The US federal Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism backs Yale University’s response to anti-Israel protesters this week. Students were demonstrating against a visit from Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. Gvir is a Jewish warmonger who believes the Palestinians have no rights to their land because the Hebrew Bible tells him so. In order to smash freedom of speech, Yale officials stripped the pro-Palestinian anti-war groups of their official recognition. The federal government and Trump administration loves that.

Our fellow active Deist Ari Sierra has started an awesome new business, offering something that many people would love. Click here to learn more.
When the Jewish state of Israel kills journalists, doctors, nurses and other aid workers, and IF they are called out on it, they always deny, deny, deny. Now, in one case out of too many, Israeli officials are admitting that they killed a UN aid worker when an Israeli tank crew opened fire on a UN guesthouse in Gaza.
In Pakistan, the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) sentenced Pervaiz Masih to a death sentence for blasphemy against Islam. Blasphemy laws and rules show how weak and foolish the "revealed" religions really are. They cannot withstand the test of our innate God-given reason, so they use blasphemy laws and rules to silence dissenters.

"Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip killed at least 14 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and destroyed bulldozers and other heavy equipment that had been supplied by mediators to clear rubble. The territory already had a shortage of heavy equipment, which is also needed to rescue people from the rubble after Israeli strikes and to clear vital roads."
Doug Collins is a former Southern Baptist clergyman and Air Force chaplain who has been appointed by Donald Trump to run the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). He has instructed VA employees to report any instances of anti-Christian bias, including any policies that are “hostile to Christian views” or punishments for displaying Christian symbols. Trump has created the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias in the Justice Department. Neither Collins or Trump mentions discrimination against any other religions.
Lori Vallow Daybell was convicted of conspiring to murder her husband. Daybell's brother committed the actual murder under direction of his sister. Lori Vallow Daybell was a Mormon who focused on the "end times" and developed the idea that zombies have taken over the bodies of many people, including her husband who she had murdered as well as her two children and her current husband's wife, who were all murdered by Lori and her husband Chad Daybell. The irrational "revealed" religions make people who believe in them irrational.

In Hotoron Arewa, a suburb on the outskirts of Kano, Nigeria, hundreds of Muslims are drinking and bathing in a pool of dirty water in an effort to be healed of various ailments. They believe the dirty water originated in "the footsteps of the Prophet Muhammad." The "revealed" religions are all void of God-given reason.
Since the Islamic terrorists of the Taliban have retaken Afghanistan, they have made it virtually impossible for girls to go to school, and they teach boys in school Islamic superstitions and ungodly and harmful Sharia law instead of science and other important subjects.
Black LGBQ+ Christians are working to get Black Christian churches more accepting of LGBQ+ people. They must not be familiar with their own Bible. For just one anti-gay command/teachings is Leviticus 20:13 in which the ancient Jewish clergymen who wrote the Hebrew Bible/Christian Old Testament claims God said, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

Standing Together is an organization of Arabs and Jews in Israel who are opposed to the genocide the Jewish state is inflicting on the people in Gaza. They are planning a public demonstration against the genocide. Israeli police told them they cannot of pictures of dead Palestinian children in their demonstration, but then backtracked. However, people in Standing Together said that often Israeli police assigned to work the demonstrations confiscate such pictures. Israel does its best to keep its genocide in Gaza quiet.
There's an olive tree in Concepcion, Texas which many Christians believes heals people. People from around the world come to the tree to receive miracles and healings. They should bring children who suffer from childhood cancers to the tree to be healed. With a tree like this, who needs science, research, medicine and doctors and nurses?
Jim Caviezel, the actor who played Jesus in Mel Gibson's film The Passion of the Christ, is going to play Jesus again in Gibson's upcoming film The Resurrection of the Christ. In a recent interview with the Christian Post, Caviezel said in order to get ready for The Resurrection of the Christ, he is reading The Screwtape Letters, a book by famous Christian apologist C.S. Lewis. Lewis is most famous for writing Mere Christianity. Here is a link to a rebuttal to Mere Christianity, An Answer to C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity.

Israel bombed Kuwaiti Field Hospital in Gaza, which is run by the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem. Israel killed a medic and wounded nine other people. Every time Israel bombs hospitals, schools or churches or mosques, they always have the same excuse that they were targeting terrorists.
"The Texas House gave final approval Thursday to a bill that would create a $1 billion private school voucher program, crossing a historic milestone and bringing Gov. Greg Abbott’s top legislative priority closer than ever to reaching his desk." If this bill become law, it will be a direct attack on the Jeffersonian principle of separation of religion from government as the vast majority of the tax dollars will go to Christian schools.
Rachel Griffin-Accurso is a YouTube star with her popular educational videos for children. On YouTube she's known as Ms. Rachel. She has been attacked by the Jewish organization StopAntisemitism and labeled by the organization as being anti-Semitic because she posted a video saying all children, including the Palestinian children in Gaza who are being slaughtered by the Jewish state of Israel on a daily basis, have rights. StopAntisemitism has notified US Attorney General Pam Bondi demanding an investigation of Ms. Rachel claiming she's working for Hamas! This is the 21st century version of the witch hunts.

Representatives from the Trump administration and Iran are scheduled to hold their second meeting this Saturday to discuss Iran's nuclear program. This interesting and insightful article points out five areas the two sides are in agreement on. Hopefully, Israeli PM Netanyahu will not be successful in torpedoing the talks.
A new study shows that people are breaking free on a large scale from the dogmatic "revealed" religions. That is great news!
In some potential good news for children, "lawmakers in Washington state have passed a bill that would require clergy to report sexual abuse even if it was admitted to in the Catholic confessional." Now it's up to Democratic Gov. Bob Ferguson to sign it into law.

Independent Christian charismatics are a growing political force in the US. Paula White belongs to this group of Christians. Donald Trump relied on her to win support from her fellow independent charismatics in 2012, 2016 and in 2024. White is now in the White House leading the White House Faith Office. This interesting and informative article covers how she became such a power in the effort to destroy the Jeffersonian wall of separation of church and state.
A very important case, Oklahoma Statewide Charter School Board v. Drummon, will be heard by the U Supreme Court. This case has the potential to blow a huge hole in the wall separating religion from government.
Donald Trump's efforts to please his Jewish overseers, such as billionaire Miriam Adelson, by eliminating criticism of the Jewish state of Israel via a campaign to smash anti-Semitism is going to cost the world advances in science and medicine. He's withholding billions of dollars from Harvard University because they allowed protests against Israel's genocide in Gaza. The withholding of these funds will bring to an end research on tuberculosis, a $15.2 million project to develop treatments for long-term radiation exposure like the kind cancer patients experience in radiation therapy, a $3.2 million study on the effects of microgravity and radiation in space on human cells, and a $700,100 project to detect ALS early.

U.S. Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Missouri, announced that he is introducing new legislation to make Easter a federal holiday so families are able to spend “the holiest day in Christianity” together.
The Betar Movement is an organization of Jewish Zionists who support Jewish terrorists and the Jewish terrorist state of Israel. They are providing names and information on people in the US who they want the US government to deport. So far, they focus on non-citizens who are in the US legally, many of whom hold green cards. They've had the US government arrest about half a dozen people who they've labeled as anti-Semitic and targeted for deportation. It's possible they will do the same against American citizens when they feel the time is right.
Here's a great new Deism music video!

Here's an interesting article about Christians, particularly Christian Zionists, who support the Jewish state of Israel committing genocide against the people in Gaza. One interesting and true statement from the article is, "It’s generally considered impolite to tell people they should change their religious beliefs, but if your religion tells you to help murder tens of thousands of children in a genocidal onslaught, you should change your religious beliefs."
Israel's daily slaughter of Palestinian children is now turning young Republicans against the Jewish state. Young Republicans are also upset with Israel for its abuse of Christians. It's good to see people starting to wake up.
Harvard University is fighting back against the Trump administration's attack on Harvard. Trump is withholding $9 billion from Harvard in an effort to smash free speech that is critical of the Jewish state of Israel and is deemed anti-Semitic. Harvard President Alan Garber, who is Jewish, said, “The University will not negotiate over its independence or its constitutional rights.” The Deist George Washington knew the vital importance of free speech, which is evident from this statement of his, "...reason is of no use to us if the freedom of Speech may be taken away — and, dumb & silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter."

Here's a fascinating article about scientists who just completed a nine-year project to map a tiny piece of a mouse brain. "Though the volume of brain matter analyzed was barely the size of a grain of sand, the researchers still had to describe the relationships between 84,000 neurons via half a billion synapse connections and 5.4 kilometers (3.4 miles) of neural wiring."
The head of the International Committee of the Red Cross is speaking out against the Jewish state of Israel's daily slaughter of Palestinian children, women and men in Gaza. He said Israel has made Gaza "hell on earth." An example of this is 36 recent Israeli airstrikes on Gaza killed only women and children.
The grotesque ongoing slaughter of children, women and men in Gaza by the Jewish state of Israel needs to stop. This article/interview of two American doctors who do volunteer work in Gaza is a must read and powerful article.

Today is the 32nd anniversary of the beginning of the World Union of Deists! I hope we reach more people with Deism this year than in any previous year.
The US and Iran are scheduled to have a meeting on Saturday regarding Iran's nuclear program. Iranian officials said they want to explore an interim nuclear deal. It's not known if Donald Trump would agree to that. Hopefully, the US military won't be used to further the Jewish state of Israel's goal of turning Iran into what Iraq currently is - a powerless pseudo-state. The purpose of the Iraq war was to make Israel more secure (and to benefit the political careers of US politicians from both parties who are deep in the pockets of Israel's powerful and wealthy lobby).
"French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France plans to recognize Palestine as a state in June this year." It will be interesting to see if he follows through with it, as it would greatly anger Jewish organizations in France and around the world.
April 9, 2025
Donald Trump is attacking free speech by withholding billions of dollars in funding from major universities. He claims the universities allowed anti-Semitic demonstrations, which in reality were demonstrations against the Jewish state of Israel's killing tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza. An estimated 18,000 - 20,000 of Israel's victims are children.
Here's a thought-provoking article by a Jewish woman in Israel. She takes a stand against the Jewish state of Israel's ongoing slaughter of Palestinian children, women and men.
Astronomer using the world's largest radio telescope, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), consisting of 66 antennas across the Atacama Desert region of Northern Chile, have discovered a baby galaxy cluster that is powering extreme star formations with a hidden fuel source. It's star formation could go on for another 400 million years!

Liri Albag is an Israeli Jew who was taken prisoner by Hamas on October 7, 2023. She was released at the start of the most recent ceasefire agreement which Israel violated. Liri was interviewed by an Israeli television station. In the interview she blamed Israeli PM Netanyahu for Hamas' successful attack on Israel. Clips of her interview were released and Liri received a lot of hate posts and threats, largely from supporters of Netanyahu.
Donald Trump said high level US and Iranian officials are going to have direct talks on Saturday to discuss Iran's nuclear program. Iran said there will be talks, but they won't be direct talks, there will be a mediator.
Gary Hermesch was arrested and charged with the murder of Roman Catholic priest Arul Carasala in Seneca, Oklahoma. Hermesch may have been motivated to murder the Catholic priest out of frustration with Vatican II. Hermesch, like many Catholics, believed the fundamental changes brought about by Vatican II in the 1960s has weakened the Catholic Church. This could be an act of sectarian religious violence.

Sanal Edamaruku is an Indian skeptic who was arrested by Interpol in Warsaw, Poland on a warrant for extradition to India. His crime is blasphemy. When he lived in India, he would go from village to village demonstrating to people how the "miraculous feats" of famous gurus and holy men were nothing but nonsense. He got in "hot water" with the Roman Catholic Church in 20212 when he revealed that water dripping from a crucifix in Mumbai was actually sewage water, not a sign of a miracle.
Belief in irrational superstitions is causing problems around the world. In Pakistan, two women who believed they had black magic curses on them went to a "holy" man/faith healer to be freed of their imaginary black magic curses. He made compromising videos of them and then blackmailed them by threatening to release the video. This went on for years. The women finally strangled him to death.
Seventeen-year-old Palestinian Walid Ahmad was taken into Israeli custody six months ago. Israeli occupation forces in the Palestinian West Bank arrested/kidnapped him for throwing stones at Israeli occupation forces. He was held without being charged with any crimes. He died in an Israeli prison and his autopsy shows signs of starvation.
April 4, 2025
Donald Trump has put a 17% tariff on goods coming to the US from the Jewish state of Israel. This will upset Trump's wealthy Jewish donors. It will be interesting to see if the tariff on Israel remains.
The federal government is attacking free speech if it's critical of Israel and the Jewish state's increasing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. A key way they're doing this is to withhold funding from universities that allow anti-Israel demonstrations on campus. Major universities are going along with the anti-free speech measures. "The University Council-American Federation of Teachers said the University of California alerted it last week it intends to comply with a subpoena issued by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The EEOC is gathering information about a number of UC employees as part of its probe of antisemitism on campuses." The union is fighting back!
Here's a tragically funny article from a Roman Catholic publication that promotes a book by a Catholic clergyman trying to convince people that Hell is real. Christianity and all the "revealed" religions require fear for their existence.
April 3, 2025
Here's an interesting article about the late actor Val Kilmer's belief in Christian Science. Irrational Christian Science beliefs have caused the deaths of adults as well as helpless children whose Christian Science parents withhold desperately needed medical care from them, as was the case of Amy Hermanson. Another sad cased is that of Rita and Doug Swan who were sincere Christian Science believers. This caused them to rely on prayer instead of medical science and their on Matthew died. Rita and Doug went on to battle for children against deadly faith healing. You can listen to a powerful interview with Rita Swan here.
Christians are claiming that there is new evidence that backs-up the Christian Bible story of Jesus being crucified and buried. One important historical fact Christians overlook is the fact that the Romans left people who were crucified on the crosses until the bodies were rotting. They did this to send a message to other people not to oppose the Romans. After the bodies were removed from the crosses, they were dumped in a pit, not placed in a tomb.
"NewSpring Church has announced that its leaving the Southern Baptist Convention over the South Carolina-based megachurch’s support of women serving in pastoral leadership roles." How Christians who claim the Christian Bible is the Word of God can believe women have a right to even speak in church, let alone to be in leadership roles, is beyond comprehension. For just one example of many, 1 Timothy 2:11-12 states, "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." If they reject ignorance-based misogyny, they should leave Christianity.

The desire for genocide on the part of Israel against the Palestinians is becoming much more mainstream in Israel, as pointed out and documented in this important article. The article also makes clear the roots for genocide on behalf of Jews and their Jewish state has deep roots in the Hebrew Bible.
This interesting and very informative article points out the fact that Christian Zionists who give unquestioning and blind support to the Jewish state of Israel, have not always been conservative and from the religious right. Originally, in the late 19th century, liberal Protestant clergymen supported Zionism and its capturing of the land owned by Palestinians.
Billionaire Edir Macedo of Brazil is the world's financially and materially richest Christian evangelist in the world. He has put his Florida beachfront condo on the market and its listing price is $14.6 million. A true revelation is given to us by Christian clergy who are millionaires and billionaires. Simply by being very financially and materially wealthy, they reveal they do not believe the Christian Bible they promote. Their Word of God/Christian Bible states at Matthew 19:16-24 that Jesus said rich people will not go to heaven.

Jewish ethnic cleansing starts with a single Palestinian village. This article tells what Israeli occupation forces in coordination with Jewish squatters/"settlers" did to one single Palestinian village in the Palestinian West Bank. Crimes against humanity like this one are carried out routinely throughout the West Bank. The vast majority of US politicians from both parties are fine with this due to their fear of Israel's powerful lobby.
In southern Gaza, Israeli occupation forces ambushed and killed 15 paramedics, some of whom were from the International Red Cross/Red Crescent. The Israeli killers buried their bodies in a mass grave more than likely using a bulldozer. Modern-day Israel is really making its ungodly and cruel Hebrew Bible come alive in Gaza and the Palestinian West Bank!
Here's an interesting article about how the Christian theocrats in the religious right have updated their tactics in forcing public school children to be brain-polluted with the Ten Commandments and other forms of religious/superstitious programming.

Dr. Joanne Liu, a pediatric emergency physician and former leader of Doctors Without Borders, was scheduled to give a talk at New York University (NYU). Her talk was cancelled by NYU because her talk included slides about Gaza and USAID. NYU informed her that her slides about Gaza “could be perceived as antisemitic” and that the USAID slides might be perceived as “anti-governmental”. This is a direct attack on free speech.
In Syria, the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) which helped overthrow the Assad regime, is promoting Islamic misogyny in the new government. The new government's constitution has Islamic misogyny written into it. There are significant groups in Syria who will refuse to go along with it.
Israeli PM Netanyahu announced a "final plan" for the Hebrew Bible-based genocide the Jewish state is carrying out in Gaza. We need to rid the world of "revealed" religion through our innate God-given reason.

Belief in Satan and demons came about when the clergy realized how they can control people through fear. This interesting article is by a former Mormon and calls on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints/Mormon to address its belief in demons problem. It was the Mormons Lori Vallow Daybell and her husband Chad who had murdered Lori's son and daughter because they believed they had non-existent demons. The more Deists can get the word out about Deism, and thus letting people know that God gave us our innate reason and not any of the various "revealed" religions, the better. It will actually save lives.
The US Supreme Court is soon going to hear three cases that will have a big impact on the Jeffersonian principle of separation of religion from government that's found in the US Constitution.
"Carlo Acutis will become the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint at a solemn canonization Mass on April 27 in St. Peter’s Square. But throngs of pilgrims are already flocking to the church in Assisi, Italy, where his body wearing sneakers, jeans and a sweatshirt lies in a shrine." The Roman Catholic Church is really trying hard to appeal to more young people!

Many Christians are upset about a Kentucky Fried Chicken advertisement in England. The ad shows a person being baptized in a lake of KFC gravy.
Mel Gibson's sequel to The Passion of the Christ, The Resurrection of the Christ, will begin shooting in August. I wonder if Gibson's film will include the comical resurrection of the dead people in cemeteries around Jerusalem at the time Jesus allegedly died. In the article, Gibson claims an important reason that shows the resurrection of Jesus story is true is that all of Jesus' apostles were martyred and they would not do that if they did not know Jesus was really resurrected. This article debunks that Christian apologist nonsense.
Christian clergyman Greg Laurie of megachurch Harvest Christian Fellowship and founder of Harvest Crusades, is excited about the new streaming series House of David and believes it will help to spread Christianity. Laurie was an adviser on the biblical series.
March 26, 2025
Joshua and Rachel Piland are Bible believing Christians. This faith and belief of theirs in the nonsensical Christian Bible caused them to withhold medical care from their newborn daughter, Abigail. Abigail was born with the condition of Rh incompatibility which is easily treated and has become essentially eradicated. By acting on their Christian faith, which the Deist Thomas Paine referred to as gullibility, they killed their newborn daughter. They went on trial in Lansing, Michigan and were found guilty of second-degree murder and first-degree child abuse.
The Pew Research Center recently released the results of a study about people who were raised as Jews. It reveals that a quarter of people who were raised as Jews no longer identify as Jewish. It's great news that people in the various "revealed" religions are breaking free of them!
On Monday night Hamdan Ballal, the Palestinian co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, was brutally attacked by a gang of Hebrew Bible-based Jewish "settlers"/squatters in the Palestinian West Bank. After he was put in an ambulance, Israeli Occupation Forces took him out of the ambulance and into their custody. He was eventually released by the Israeli Occupation Forces on Tuesday.

The Jewish state of Israel has to date killed over 18,000 Palestinian children in Gaza since October 7, 2023. (For an article about the root cause for the violence between Israelis and Palestinians, click here.) This thought-provoking, informative and moving article is about the surviving children in Gaza and why Israel is waging war against them.
Franklin Graham, the son of famous evangelist Billy Graham, has a charity organization called Samaritan's Purse. The organization delivers food, medicine and supplies to people in need. (Since Graham's Christian Bible promises faith healing, it's not clear why they deliver medicine to people.) It's now been revealed that Samaritan's Purse received $19 million in US tax dollars via USAID. Graham claims that Samaritan's Purse does not rely on government funding. Since the government just paid them $19 million, Graham's statement must be taken on faith.
This article is about women in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon). It claims the Mormon Church needs women, but that women should stay in their place. Since Mormonism is a form/sect of Christianity, it's not at all surprising that it is misogynistic.
March 24, 2025
Here's an important and very informative article about a three-part documentary, The Atom and Me, that is only airing in Israel. It's about Israel's nuclear weapons program. It points out that President John Kennedy was the last US president to attempt to prevent the Jewish state from building nuclear weapons. After his assassination, no one else tried to stop Israel's nuclear program. The article also covers Israel's theft from the United States of nuclear material. I hope some day this documentary is aired around the world and finds its way onto the internet.
In detention camps in Syria, children of Islamic State terrorists seem to have a desire and are willing to create a new Islamic State caliphate in Syria.
Jeffery Summers, 52, is a former pastor at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia, where former President Jimmy Carter had long been a member. Summers was texting who he thought was a 14-year-old boy, but who was really an undercover police officer of the Port Orange Police Department in Florida. Police arrested Summers and charged the "reverend" with two felony charges, including traveling to meet after using a computer to lure a child and obscene communication with a minor. Additional charges include the use of a computer to solicit or lure a child.

"The National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Maryland is hosting the first-ever Eucharistic Congress for the Catholic Deaf community this spring." Since the Christian Bible claims more than once that Jesus healed people of their deafness, and John 14:12-14 claims Jesus promised that people who believe in him will be able to do all the things the Christian Bible claims he did, which includes healing people of their deafness, why would the Roman Catholic Church, or any Christian organization/sect have a congress or anything else for deaf people when their own Christian Bible promises them that they can heal the deaf??
This article is about the brutal destruction of individuals through the Jewish state of Israel's ongoing genocide of the people in Gaza. I hope one day the hate promoted by the "revealed" religions is replaced by Thomas Paine's Deistic principle of detesting everything that is cruel."
This thought-provoking and inspiring article about about the bioelectricity in our living cells and how it does many things, including helping us to heal after injury. Nature is wonderfully amazing!

The Jewish state of Israel, after breaking the ceasefire agreement it had signed on to by bombing and shelling Gaza, has now initiated a ground invasion. Overnight another 85 Palestinians were killed by Israel. Since it initially broke its promise of the ceasefire on Tuesday, Israel has killed a total of at least 585 people with 312 of them being children and women. This all makes sense when you realize the Jewish state of Israel is based on the ungodly and cruel Hebrew Bible which ancient Jewish clergymen wrote to promote Jewish supremacy over all Gentiles.
Religious people usually feel they are entitled to special treatment by the rest of society. They want exemptions from paying taxes while also having taxpayers provide them with not only things like fire and police protection, etc., but also to pay for "educating" children in their religion. Now, in New York, Jewish schools known as yeshivas, where important topics like math, English, science, etc., are not taught while students' minds are filled with religious nonsense, are upset because the state of New York is no longer recognizing them as schools and were going to stop giving them tax dollars.
The Texas Senate has passed a bill that would make it a requirement for the 10 Commandments to be posted in every public school classroom. Perhaps the Christian theocrats believe there is a problem with men coveting the slaves of their neighbors?

After breaking the ceasefire agreement with Hamas with its surprise attack by bombing and shelling Gaza from the air, sea and land, the Jewish state of Israel has launched tanks and infantry attacks in Gaza.
Here's an interesting article that points out Israel had violated many times the terms of the ceasefire agreement it had agreed to follow. It asks the question, "Why won't the media tell you that?"
The US envoy to the United Nations blatantly lied to the UN and the world by saying Israel's deadly bombings and shelling of Gaza on Tuesday, which killed the ceasefire agreement, did not kill the ceasefire agreement. According to the official stand of the US government, Hamas broke the ceasefire agreement by trying to stick to the ceasefire agreement!
March 18, 2025
The Jewish state of Israel has violated the ceasefire agreement with Hamas by resuming its devastating bombings of Gaza. In the first round of bombings and artillery fire they killed at least 424 people, 174 were children and 89 were women. Donald Trump was in favor of Israel's bloody massacre and had recently sent Israel more 2,000 pound bombs and other weapons for the continuation of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza.
Here's an interesting and informative article about Israel's violation of the ceasefire agreement and its resumption of its genocide against the people of Gaza.
It looks like Donald Trump is trying to instigate a war with Iran by making Iran responsible for the actions of Iran's allies the Houthis in Yemen. This would greatly please Israeli officials and Trump's billionaire Jewish Zionist backers. Israel wanted to eliminate Iraq, Syria and Iran for decades. As early as the 1990s they were claiming Iran was very close to having nuclear weapons.

The Israel lobby is a very powerful and wealthy lobby that has control over the vast majority of US politicians from both parties regarding US foreign policy for the Middle East. This interesting and insightful article debunks six top propaganda claims the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) uses to brain pollute Americans about the US relationship with the Jewish state of Israel.
Here's an important article documenting the advances made by the theocrats of the religious right in Texas and around the US. They are becoming more demanding and more open about their agenda to use tax dollars to bring public school children to Jesus.
The Christian theocrats currently working to turn the US into a Christian Bible-based theocracy is nothing new. This article is about how similar things have already happened in Europe during the 16th century, and the results were horrific.
March 14, 2025
Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters said this week that he’s partnering with Greenwood to help ensure the Bibles, which have been endorsed by Donald Trump, get to Oklahoma schools. The cost per Christian Bible is $59.99. Walters is asking for donations to purchase the Bibles, since a legislative panel rejected his $3 million request to fund the effort.
Members of Jewish Voice for Peace held a large demonstration in the lobby of Trump Tower in New York. They were demanding the release from custody of the Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil. He holds a green card and is a legal permanent resident of the US. He was taken by federal immigration forces because he was a leader in the demonstrations at Columbia University against Israel's genocide in Gaza, which has killed an estimated 50,000 people the majority of whom are children and women.
After the Dalai Lama said the new Dalai Lama will be reincarnated in the free world, not Communist China, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning called the 14th Dalai Lama a "political exile engaged in separatist activities under the guise of religion" and said he has no right to represent the people in Tibet." This upset Tibetan Government-in-Exile President Penpa Tsering who said it was a "blasphemous statement." He also said that the Dalai Lama himself has to decide where he is going to be reborn and to whom he is going to be reborn. In reality, no one knows what, if anything, happens to us after our body dies.

In some good news, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that state officials cannot order and pay for Bibles that are intended to be used by public school students.
The founder of the megachurch Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas and former spiritual adviser to Donald Trump, Robert Morris, was indicted on allegations of sexually abusing 12-year-old girl.
Quincy, Massachusetts Mayor Thomas Koch is going to spend $850,000.00 tax dollars on two religious statues for the city police and fire department building. One is of a Roman Catholic saint and the other is of Michael the Archangel. This is an obvious violation of the Jeffersonian principle in the US Constitution of separation of church and state, as is a sculpture of Moses on the US Supreme Court building.
March 12, 2025
Hate speech laws are an attack on free speech. In Indonesia, these ridiculous and repressive laws recently sent a person to prison for two years and 10 months. They were found guilty of spreading hate against Christianity by posting online that Jesus needs a haircut!
The Christian conservative theocratic "think-tank," the Heritage Foundation, surprisingly is promoting the idea that the US should end its foreign aid to the Jewish state of Israel. This would help America and Americans by saving billions of dollars every year, but it is very surprising that the Christian conservative and theocratic Heritage Foundation is promoting it.
The Dalai Lama said that the new Dalai Lama will be born in the free world, which is outside of Communist China. He wrote in his book, The Voice of the Voiceless, “Since the purpose of a reincarnation is to carry on the work of the predecessor, the new Dalai Lama will be born in the free world so that the traditional mission of the Dalai Lama – that is, to be the voice for universal compassion, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, and the symbol of Tibet embodying the aspirations of the Tibetan people – will continue.”
March 11, 2025
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed off on revoking Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil's green card and deporting him. The federal government appears to be staking its entire case to deport Khalil on whether Rubio “personally” believes Khalil would “compromise” US foreign policy. The US foreign policy in question is Israel over all, which is promoted by the vast majority of US politicians from both parties. Khalil protests against the Jewish state of Israel's genocide of Palestinian in Gaza and promotes divestment from Israel. This is a clear violation of the First Amendment right to freedom of speech.
Israel is trying to renege on its ceasefire agreement with Hamas to start phase two of the agreement. In an attempt to pressure Hamas into agreeing with the Jewish state, they have cut off electricity to Gaza, which shut down a water desalination plant that produces drinking water for the Palestinians in Gaza.
In Israeli occupied Palestinian East Jerusalem, Israeli occupation forces raided and shut down The Educational Bookshop for the second time in a month. Occupation forces said they received a call that there were "books containing inciting content." The owner of the bookshop was taken into custody, again, and the bookshop was closed. This is causing international protests against Israel's anti free speech actions.

"Women in Sikh and Panjabi communities are falling victim to faith based abuse, including 'exorcism-related abuse'". As the Deist Thomas Jefferson pointed out, what is called faith is actually gullibility.
In a rarity for this US Supreme Court, the US Supreme Court "announced that it will not intervene in a religious discrimination case." The case involved a fire chief from Stockton, California who was fired for mixing his Christian religion with his job duties.
Here's a thought-provoking and interesting article about harnessing the energy rotating black holes are packed with. This idea is part of the Kardashev scale.

The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is in financial trouble due to legal expenses related to pedophile clergy members and the victims of their sexual abuse. Even though the SBC brings in hundreds of millions of dollars in donations every year, they don't have the money to pay their bills.
Lent started Wednesday with Ash Wednesday and will end on April 17th. Many Catholic women "frustrated over being disenfranchised by the church despite promises of greater recognition are going on strike, withholding numerous services and ministries to their Catholic parishes, schools and universities." The strike will last through Easter, which this year falls on April 20th. Perhaps these women have not read their Word of God, the Catholic Bible. If they had objectively read it, they would know that misogyny is part of Christianity.
"Queer Christian groups oppose Trump orders in Ash Wednesday statement.
The statement is signed by 11 Christian LGBTQ groups representing tens of thousands of constituents and roughly 5,000 congregations." This is another group who needs to objectively read the Christian Bible and realize Christianity and the Bible are very anti-gay.

In the Islamic nation of Iran, a singer, Mehdi Yarrahi, 43, who sang in praise of Iranian women who refused to wear a hijab, which is mandatory in Iran as it is in many other Islamic nations, was flogged with 74 lashes by the Iranian Morality Police. The world definitely needs Deism now in order to bring an end to the ungodly and foolish "revealed" religions.
Donald Trump is threatening to withhold federal funding from universities and colleges that allow students to hold demonstrations opposing the Jewish state of Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people in Gaza. This is causing Columbia University to harass students like senior Maryam Alwan for writing an op-ed in the student newspaper calling for divestment from Israel. This is a clear attack on freedom of speech.
In Texas, "State Sen. Tan Parker introduced a bill to codify the rights of school staff to engage in religious speech or prayer during their working hours." There are two other religious bills that are up for consideration. One would require the 10 Commandments to be posted in public school classrooms, and the other would allow school districts to designate a time during the day for prayer and Bible reading. The US is being pushed by the religious right theocrats towards becoming a Christian bible-based the theocracy which America's Founders abhorred.
March 5, 2025
For the first time ever, US officials are meeting directly with Hamas regarding the war on Gaza. Israeli officials are probably upset with this.
Here's an insightful article about Israeli PM Netanyahu reneging on the ceasefire agreement and refusing to move into phase two of the agreement. When trying to figure out the Jewish state of Israel, it must always be kept in mind their belief in their Hebrew Bible, which Christians have coopted as the Christian Old Testament, is the basis of their actions. The Hebrew Bible claims God gave all the land owned by the Palestinians to the Jews. This ancient and foolish religious myth is the heart and soul of Israel.
An Oklahoma Senate committee will soon vote on whether or not to strip $3 million from the education department's budget. If they do vote in favor of the cut, the $3 million would be cut from the money that would be spent on buy Bibles for public schools.
March 4, 2025
Former Vice President Mike Pence has upset many Protestant Christians when, on a post on X, he referred to Pope Francis as "Holy Father." There's really no clear definition of what a Christian is. Various and competing Christian sects have been slaughtering each other over what true Christianity is for centuries.
This article asks the question if Donald Trump and Elon Musk will go to Hell for cancelling US programs that feed and support people in need around the world. The article doesn't mention Matthew 25:14-30 which has Jesus comparing God to a cruel and greedy wealthy slave owner who punishes slaves who are not profitable.
Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal operate Ear Biscuits YouTube channel. They are former Christians who left Christianity in early 2020. In an update, they told listeners they still are free of Christianity and are not afraid of Hell.

The documentary No Other Land won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature Film last night. The film is about the destruction of Palestinian land in the Palestinian West Bank by Israeli occupation forces. It's directed by a mix of Palestinian and Israeli activists, Basel Adra, Rachel Szor, Hamdan Ballal, and Yuval Abraham. This interesting article covers the reactions its win received by people who were in the audience.
The Jewish state of Israel is reneging on the agreement with Hamas to start phase two of the agreement. To pressure Hamas to go along with it, Israel is once again blocking food, water, fuel, medicine and other forms of aid from entering Gaza and reaching the two million people who desperately need it. That's very Hebrew Bible/Old Testament of them.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has completed a "sale" worth nearly $3 billion of weapons and ammunition to Israel without Congressional review (with so many US politicians from both parties bought and paid for by Israel's lobby, Congress would have approved of the "sale" without question). The State Department said Rubio has determined and provided detailed justification that an emergency exists that requires the immediate sale to the Government of Israel of the above defense articles and defense services in the national security interests of the United States, thereby waiving the Congressional review requirements.” The "defense articles" include 2,000 pound bombs the Jewish state used against Palestinian children, women and men in Gaza.

"This article is about fear of death and how it's used in Christianity." (June 9, 2025 item)
Here is a very old post (from May 2009) on Democratic Underground (I no longer post there; I have my reasons) in which I posted that the God described in the above referenced article is evil, and I compare people who believe in that kind of God to "good Germans" who went along with the Nazis.

"Everyone is going to die. This fact is used by the "revealed" religions to place fear in people and then get them to believe the way out of their fear is Christianity, Islam, etc. This article is about fear of death and how it's used in Christianity." (June 9, 2025 item)
What always bothered me when I was a Christian was the thought of OTHERS going to hell if they happen to die "unsaved", and the resulting duty to "witness" to others about Jesus Christ motivated by that concern.
"This has inspired a Roman Catholic priest who is also an exorcist to warn the people of Ireland that people leaving the Roman Catholic Church is opening the door to demons!" (May 29, 2025 item)
Way to gaslight! Taking a healthy step in the right direction will open the door to demons if it goes against what some powerful religious entity teaches.
And opposing or speaking out against the Israeli genocide in Gaza is supporting Hamas and terrorists. And criticizing or speaking out against the U.S. involvement in the proxy war in Ukraine is making oneself to be Putin's puppet.
Displaying the 10 Commandments in public school classrooms (May 27, 2025 item), one of which says to (unconditionally) "honor your father and mother", is something that well serves any fascist or authoritarian state, or anyone in a position of power. A child who unquestioningly goes along with one's parents will later very likely not dare to go against political, religious, or other authorities (or at least be very reluctant to do so).
I don't think Hal Lindsey would care at all about what Thomas Jefferson wrote about the Book of Revelation (November 28, 2024 item). To Hal Lindsey the Book of Revelation was part of "God's Word" (no matter how "nonsensical" it might at first seem), and Thomas Jefferson was somebody who rejected "God's Word".
