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.

Ireland's Prime Minister Simon Harris has spoken out against the Jewish state of Israel's recent deadly attacks on United Nations peacekeepers in Lebanon. He said the attacks are a breach of international law and are "really dangerous, despicable attacks on peacekeepers".
The United Nations Human Rights Council appointed a commission to investigate Israel and Hamas of human rights violations. Their report stated in part, "The Commission finds that Israel has implemented a concerted policy to destroy the health-care system of Gaza. Israeli security forces have deliberately killed, wounded, arrested, detained, mistreated and tortured medical personnel and targeted medical vehicles, constituting the war crimes of willful killing and mistreatment and the crime against humanity of extermination." The commission also accuse both Israel as well as armed Palestinian groups of subjecting prisoners to torture and sexual violence.
"Japanese organization Nihon Hidankyo, a grassroots movement of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, in a warning to countries that have nuclear weapons not to use them." This is good news, since a war using nuclear weapons would destroy life on Earth. As Albert Einstein pointed out, "The world that we have made as a result of the level of thinking that we have done so far, has created problems we cannot solve at the level of thinking at which we created them . . . . We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humankind is to survive."

The US politicians from both parties have taken from Americans and given to the Jewish state of Israel $17.9 BILLION in American tax dollars over the last 12 months! The Biden administration used bureaucratic maneuvering to hide the amount of American taxpayer dollars it was sending to Israel.
Last Saturday there was an earthquake in Iran. The earthquake hit five days after Iran launched 200 ballistic missiles into Israel. Now some rabbis are stating that this may be a sign that God is joining the war on the side of the Jewish state of Israel!
Here's an interesting and thought-provoking article about the James Webb Space Telescope sending us data that shows the universe is probably much older than astronomers previously thought. There is a very good chance that the universe is infinite and eternal.
(Due to hurricane Milton heading our way, there will probably not be any news update for a few days, as it's very probable that we will love our electric power.)

In Oklahoma, where the Christian theocrat and the superintendent of the state Department of Education Ryan Walters wants every classroom in Oklahoma public schools to have a Christian Bible, the specifications for the bible were released for bids. "Bibles must be the King James Version; must contain the Old and New Testaments; must include copies of the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights; and must be bound in leather or leather-like material." This is exactly like the Bible Donald Trump was selling! It is estimated the bibles will cost Oklahoma taxpayers over $3 million.
Jerry Falwell, Jr., who was kicked out of the Christian Liberty University that was founded by his father and is a central part of the theocratic religious right, because he and his wife had three-way-sex with their pool boy, among other reasons, is not back at Liberty University. His return is making some Christians very upset as this article makes clear.
"The Sovereign Order of the Temple of Christ, which claims to represent the modern-day Knights Templar, has recently filed a new reconciliation lawsuit against Pope Francis." The lawsuit goes back to 1312 when Pope Clement V dissolved the Knights Templar!
October 4, 2024
Evangelical Christian pastor Loran Livingston has attacked Donald Trump's Bible, which Trump was selling earlier this year for $59.99. Livingston called Trump's Bible "blasphemous" and "disgusting."
Democrats have used a method called ballot harvesting to get Democrats elected to political office. Now, Christian conservatives are doing the same. Ballot harvesting by Christian conservatives involves church members bringing their completed mail-in ballots to church, where they are collected by volunteers who then deliver them the next day to election officials.
Since 2006, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington, Vermont, the state’s only diocese, has settled 67 lawsuits regarding pedophile priests raping and sexually molesting children. The Catholic Diocese paid a total of $34 million to victims of the pedophile priests. They are now facing 31 additional cases from victims. This has caused the Catholic Diocese to file for bankruptcy. "Celeste Laramie, an attorney representing about a third of the plaintiffs in the lawsuits, said the filing 'is more reflective of moral bankruptcy than actual financial bankruptcy, particularly in light of the estimated $500 million of assets it has attempted to hide from survivors of its sexual abuse.'”

Joe Biden said the US is discussing with the Jewish state of Israel the possibility that Israel will bomb Iran's oil facilities. This would be in retaliation of Iran firing over 180 ballistic missiles into Israel. That was done in retaliation of Israel assassinating via bombings Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps commander Brig-Gen Abbas Nilforoushan. The news about Israel bombing Iranian oil facilities has caused a 5% jump in oil prices. Oil prices will go up a huge amount if Israel does bomb Iran's oil facilities.
Tzedek Chicago is a Jewish congregation that is anti-Zionism. Its leaders and members speak out against the slaughter and land theft/occupation the Jewish state of Israel inflicts on the Palestinians. One thing that is difficult to understand is that Zionism is a huge part of the religious violence between Israel and its neighbors, but so is Judaism which also promotes the idea that all of the land being occupied and fought for is a gift from God to the Jews for a Jewish state.
"An appeals court has ruled that a multisite Evangelical church in Michigan cannot be exempt from paying taxes on a property meant to serve as a retreat and recreation space." The court stated the reason for their decision is because the land and building are not used to teach the church's religion. Why teachings religion/superstition would qualify for a tax-exemption is beyond reason. All of the religious property should be taxed.

"Israeli strikes killed at least 51 people in southern Gaza overnight, including women and children, as the military launched ground operations in the hard-hit city of Khan Younis, Palestinian medical officials said Wednesday." With Israel invading Lebanon and stepping up the violence in its occupation of the Palestinian West Bank and East Jerusalem, they're still killing children, women and men in Gaza.
Here's an in-depth and informative article about two billionaire Christian preachers in Texas have brought Christian theocracy to much of Texas and who are now working to do the same for the rest of America.
"The Physics of the Accelerating Universe Survey (PAUS), an international collaboration across 14 institutions, has covered a sky area of 50 square degrees, similar to approximately 250 full moons." PAUS was able to map precise locations of more than one million galaxies. The universe, which we are all a part of, is wonderfully amazing!
October 1, 2024
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan spoke at the United Nations. He called for the UN to use force against the Jewish state of Israel in order to stop Israel from its slaughter of Palestinian children, women and men in Gaza and its invasion of Lebanon.
In Italy, the case of a mother and her two sons being killed during an exorcism has taken a turn against the defendants.
Here's a beautiful, thought-provoking and inspiring video of 4,000 galaxies taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. The universe truly is a wonderful, fascinating and amazing reality!

Here's an informative and insightful article about the current spread of religious-based violence in the Middle East. It offers an idea for peace in the "holy" land that, in reality, is the only way forward towards peace.
Israel and Lebanon have been exchanging rocket fire since October 8, 2023 when the Jewish state invaded Gaza. They invaded Gaza because of Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. Hamas attacked Israel because of Israel's brutal and expanding illegal occupation of Palestinian land. Israel is stealing Palestinian land because of belief in the ancient myths of Judaism in the Torah and Hebrew Bible/Christian Old Testament that claim God gave all of that land to the Jews for a Jewish state. Now it looks like Israel is going to soon launch a ground invasion of Lebanon.
"European, Arab and Islamic nations have launched an initiative to strengthen support for a Palestinian state and its institutions, and prepare for a future after the war in Gaza and escalating conflict in Lebanon, Norway’s foreign minister said Friday." It will be interesting to see if anything substantial happens with this important effort.
September 27, 2024
One thing both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have in common is undying loyalty to the Jewish state of Israel. They not only do not meaningfully ever question Israel's ongoing war crimes, or the BILLIONS of American tax dollars taken from Americans and given to Israel, they brag about what they do for the foreign Jewish state of Israel. Donald Trump recently said if he's elected president, he will make Israel great again! The article incorrectly states that Trump is “America’s First Zionist President.” In reality, Joe Biden beat him to it!
Here's an interesting and insightful article about Joe Biden and other Western leaders who claim they want peace in the "holy" land while sending huge amounts of weapons and ammunition to Israel as it continues its warmongering, Hebrew Bible-based ways.
Clergymen at Gateway Church, a megachurch in Texas, don't like to be questioned about their lack of transparency. Valentina Hansen found this out when she met with leading clergymen of Gateway Church, asking questions about a pedophile clergyman the church employs as well as asking about finances. The clergymen revoked her membership and had armed guards escort her off of church property. I bet the clergymen are big fans of 1 Corinthians 14:34 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."
September 26, 2024
The religious violence going on between the Jewish state of Israel and the Palestinians in Gaza and in the Palestinian West Bank is spreading to Lebanon. Israeli officials have wanted for decades the US to start a war against Iran. The current increase in religious violence may make that nightmare become a reality.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) is suing the tax-exempt religious organization, The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (TBGEA), for publishing in its magazine an article promoting Donald Trump over Camela Harris in the US presidential election. As a tax-exempt organization, TBGEA cannot be involved in politics.
"At its 2024 synod in June, the Christian Reformed Church instructed LGBTQ-affirming congregations to repent and comply with the denomination’s beliefs on sexuality. Some are now choosing to leave." It's impossible to understand how people who believe the Bible is the Word of God can be gay affirming. The Bible, at Leviticus 20:13, clearly has God commanding the faithful to kill gay men. It states, "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."
September 25, 2024
After the Jewish state of Israel's prolonged destruction of Gaza started, Hezbollah in Lebanon started firing missiles into northern Israel in an attempt to counter what Israel was doing in Gaza. Now it looks like Israel is getting ready to invade Lebanon again (they invaded Lebanon in 1982 which spurred the creation of Hezbollah and again invaded in 2006). This is slowing down the killings and destruction Israel inflicts on Gaza and its people. Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal said since Israel has been dealing with Hezbollah in Lebanon, the number of Israeli bombings in Gaza has dropped from over 15 per day to around four per day. Israeli officials are not worried about starting too many wars at one time as they know US politicians will send American troops to fight for the Jewish state. After all, the US politicians from both parties started the Iraq War for Israel's benefit and for the political rewards they get from Israel's lobby.
Here's a great letter to the editor regarding US politicians who talk about putting America first while they take millions of dollars from the Israel lobby to put Israel first.
The Christian based and promoting Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC "unveiled what it says is the oldest Jewish book ever discovered." It contains the central part of Judaism, the text of the Haggadah which is recited at Seder on the first two nights of Passover, as well as Jewish prayers, poems and other writings. The book is only 1,300 years old.
September 24, 2024
Christian's savior, who they believe will prevent God from burning them in hell and who will allow them to spend eternity in heaven, is the Jew Jesus. The Jewishness of Jesus compels many Christians to feel beholden to Jews and to the Jewish state of Israel. This is seen when Christians promote Israel and Israel's theft of land from the Palestinians. Recently the Jewish and Christian organization, Keep God's Land, which promotes the false and bible-based idea that God gave all of the Palestinian West Bank, Gaza and Palestinian East Jerusalem to the Jews for a Jewish state, held an event at Regent University. Regent University is a Christian university that was started by the Christian conman/clergyman, the now decease Pat Robertson. Belief in this biblical myth is the reason there is so much religious violence in the "Holy" Land.
In Iowa, Judge Jonathan Gallagher ruled in favor of a Christian church regarding the church's tax exemption for the real estate it owns. He said his decision was based on the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. It's hypocritical for religions not to pay property tax while at the same time enjoying the benefits property taxes help to make available, such as fire and police protection, and even paramedics for faith healers!
Ohio is giving over $5 million in tax dollars to 11 private schools. Eight of the 11 schools are Christian schools. This is a direct violation of the Jeffersonian principle of separation of religion from government. They're receiving the millions of tax dollars via the state's school voucher program.

Last week in Pakistan, a policeman shot and killed a man suspected of blasphemy against Mohammed and Islam and who was in police custody. Yesterday in Pakistan, police shot and killed a doctor who was accused of blasphemy against Islam and Mohammed. Police claim it was in a shootout with the blasphemer and another person. People in a crowd threw flower pedals towards the police for killing a blasphemer. Islam, and any religion that has blasphemy rules and laws, is very weak, otherwise they would welcome debate and not hide from it through the threat of blasphemy.
Here's an interesting article about Ruwa Romman, a Palestinian American who is a member of the Georgia legislature. She, along with all other Palestinians who wanted to speak at the recent not so democratic Democratic National Convention, was not allowed to speak. The Democrats, just like the Republicans, are terrified of offending Israel and its powerful lobby.
Christian theocrat Lance Wallnau is the Christian "prophet" directing much of Donald Trump's presidential campaign. In 2016, when no one believed Trump could win the presidential election, Wallnau "prophesied" that Trump would win. Wallnau belongs to the New Apostolic Reformation, an organization of Christian theocrats who are dedicated to turning the US into a Christian Bible-based theocracy.
September 19, 2024
Yesterday, the United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to demand the Jewish state of Israel ends its 57 yearlong and expanding illegal occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, Palestinian East Jerusalem and Gaza. Israel's violent, cruel and ungodly occupation is based in the violence promoting, cruel and ungodly Hebrew Bible, what Christians call the Old Testament. People need to realize that God gave us our innate reason, not religion.
Similar to the Roman Catholic Church, the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant denomination, has been hit with huge expenses due to its clergy members sexually abusing children and adults. They are now forced to sell their Nashville, Tennesse headquarters building.
Actor, director and traditionalist Catholic (Catholics who do not recognize the changes made by the 1962-1965 Second Vatican Council) Mel Gibson announced that his new Jesus movie, the sequel to The Passion of the Christ, The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection will begin filming in early 2025. Gibson indicated that much of the new film will be set in other dimensions, presumably depicting what Christians imagine Jesus did from the time of his death through the approximately 41 hours until he allegedly came back to life on a Sunday morning. This would possibly avoid Gibson having to deal with presenting the ludicrous Bible zombies from Matthew 27:50-53.
September 18, 2024
Genocide Joe Biden's administration continually tells Israeli officials that Israel killing over 40,000 people in Gaza, including killing 17,000 children, is unacceptable and to not be so reckless in its bombings and other military actions in Gaza. Israel ignores the Biden administration's requests, and the Biden administration continues sending more and more bombs, weapons and ammunition to the Jewish state. This article is about US inspector generals who are investigating Biden's continued sending of US bombs and weapons to Israel.
Scott Stapp is the lead singer for the American rock band Creed. He has recently "come back to Jesus" and is promoting Christianity as well as the lie that America was created as a Christian nation and said the US was “built upon the Bible and the Word of God.” As Deists know, the US was not created as a Christian nation.
Historically, Christianity has sought to inspire it faithful, and to get more money out of its faithful, by claiming to have ancient relics that are used to strengthen the beliefs of the faithful. The relics include the Shroud of Turin, the foreskin of Jesus, a piece of the cross Jesus was allegedly nailed to, etc., etc. This interesting article is about an alleged relic of the head/skull of John the Baptist!
September 17, 2024
What the Jewish state of Israel is doing to Palestinians in Gaza and in the Palestinian West Bank is criminal. The fact that US politicians from both parties are supplying Israel with weapons and ammunition to continue their Hebrew Bible-based criminal acts is in violation of US law. This informative article explains why an arms embargo against Israel is demanded by US law.
Here's a video of two Israeli soldiers explaining why they are refusing to return to fighting in the war on Gaza. They are truly heroic in taking a stand against the Israeli war machine!
The religious/superstitious belief in demons, devils and evil spirits seems to be increasing around the world. Here is a quote from the linked to article that shows what a Christian exorcist said during a church service/exorcism in Australia: "'It's going to heal sicknesses, afflictions and diseases,' Pastor Joseph Wisdom Sesay told a group of people gathered to be freed from evil spirits. 'Whatever it is — nightmares, terrors, torment, delusions.'" This is an attempt to free people from delusions by promoting the delusion of exorcisms. God gave us reason, not religion!
September 16, 2024
Here's an interesting opinion piece taking the stand that religious people should not have exemptions from getting their children vaccinated. What's hilarious is that most of the religious exemptions are given to Christians. The Christian Bible promises Christians faith healing. If faith healing was true, there wouldn't be any need for vaccines since anyone who was sick could be healed through Christian faith healing. During the pandemic, I couldn't understand why Christians were raising hell about their churches being shut down, when, according to their own "holy" book, all they had to do was pray in the name of Jesus and the pandemic would have ended and the infected people would have been healed and, according to John 14:12-14, the dead would have been brought back to life!
I just learned from a Christian publication that Jesus failed at healing a blind man, but Jesus tried again, and it worked! The nonsensical story from the anonymous author of the Gospel of Mark is at Mark 8:22-26. It's actually kind of a funny story. A blind man was brought to Jesus to be healed of his blindness. Jesus spit in the man's eyes and asked him what he saw. You'd think Jesus, the Christ, would know if the man was healed or not. The man told him he saw men as trees and walking around! As the story goes, Jesus then put his hands again on the man's eyes and told him to look up. This, allegedly, did the trick, and the man was healed of his blindness! The Christian author of the article does some mental twisting to make it appear Jesus failed at the first attempt in order to teach the apostles a lesson!
In Karnataka, India, "Caste Hindus announced a ban on Dalits entering 'their localities' after they assaulted a Dalit man, Arjun Madar, in Bagalkot district." Dalits are people classified by the upper castes as untouchables. When Arjun Madar entered a Hindu temple to pray, he was attacked by caste Hindus and tied to an electric pole and beaten. Imagine if they people who beat him had adopted Thomas Paine's Deistic principle of detesting everything that is cruel. If that was the case, the man never would have been beaten.
September 13, 2024
Mehmet Suat Eygi, the father of 26-year-old American/Turkish peace activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, who was murdered by an Israeli sniper in the Palestinian West Bank, is asking for a US independent investigation into his daughter's killing. He "suggested the U.S. government was deliberately avoiding a direct investigation into its close ally's/Israel's actions out of bias."
The "democracy" of the Jewish state of Israel is not allowing reporters into Gaza. In fact, they haven't allowed any reporters into Gaza since the start of their war on Gaza.
Here's an interesting article about Christian clergywoman Paula White. She was Donald Trump's "spiritual adviser" in the past. Now, after Kamala Harris is running against Trump for the White House, Paula White is rarely seen. It seems her absence is due to business reason - many of her current flock are women of color.
September 12, 2024
Israel designates certain areas in Gaza as "safe zones." These areas are claimed by the Jewish state of Israel to be safe for Palestinians to live in. However, Israel routinely bombs these "safe zones" killing more and more Palestinian children, women and men.
Here's an interesting and informative article about the merging of religion and government in Texas. As the article states, the creation and growth of the theocratic religious right in the US did not just happen organically, powerful forces were, and are, behind it.
A new observational report brings the popular Big Bang theory into question. Lior Shamir, associate professor of computer science at Kansas State University, published the findings of his observational report in scientific journal Particles. The two primary observations his report relies on are the redshift of galaxies based on their distance from Earth and the data from the James Webb Space Telescope. "The JWST provided deep images of the very early universe, but instead of showing an infant early universe as astronomers expected, it showed large and mature galaxies. If the Big Bang happened as scientists initially believed, these galaxies are older than the universe itself."
September 11, 2024
Joe Biden said the 26-year-old American Turkish women and peace activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, who was shot in the head and murdered by an Israeli sniper in the illegally and brutally Israeli occupied Palestinian West Bank, was shot by accident. He said the bullet hit the ground and then ricocheted off the ground and hit her in the head! After making his absurd statement, he must have been managed by Harris' political team, as he changed his mind and said he was "outraged" and that it was "totally unacceptable."
In the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, not surprisingly, neither condemned the Jewish state of Israel for its continuing slaughter in Gaza of 40,000 Palestinians, over 16,000 of whom are children. They both are fully aware of the excessive influence Israel has over them via its wealthy and powerful lobby. Harris claimed Hamas started the war by attacking Israel on October 7, 2023, and ignored the reason why Hamas attacked Israel.
The West African country of Ivory Coast has a problem of people of faith/magic who purchase "magic" powder that contains female genitalia. The female genitalia are from girls who have circumcisions performed on them.
September 10, 2024
In Uttar Pradesh, India, sisters, one a two-year-old and the other a four-year-old, were bitten by animals while they were sleeping. Their parents took them to an exorcist for black magic treatment. When the parents realized the black magic healing/exorcisms was not working, they took their suffering daughters to a hospital where they were pronounced dead on arrival. Superstition is a terrible thing that needs to be replaced with our innate God-given reason.
Saint Gabriel’s Episcopal Church in Marion, Massachusetts will be offering a six-week course on ghosts. This says a lot about Christianity!
The Israeli air force bombed a refugee tent camp in Gaza today. The American made bombs killed at least 19 refugees, including children and women, and wounded 60 people.
September 9, 2024
A Jewish Florida state representative, Randy Fine, posted on X, "Throw rocks, get shot. One less #MuslimTerror ist. #FireAway." This was in response to a post about the Turkish American Aysenur Ezgi Eygi who was shot in the head and murdered by a sniper in the Israeli Occupation Forces in the Palestinian West Bank. Fine does not believe Palestinians should fight their occupiers who are stealing their homes and farms and killing and imprisoning their family and friends.
The family, friends and fellow human rights activists of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, the Turkish American 26-year-old who was murdered by an Israeli sniper of the Israeli Occupation Forces in the brutally and illegally occupied Palestinian West Bank, do not believe anything will happen and justice will be denied regarding her murder. In all probability, as happens whenever the Israeli war machine kills innocent people, Israel will investigate itself.
In Nebraska, there is resistance against school vouchers, in which state tax dollars are given to private schools, the majority of which are religious schools. A ballot initiative to overturn to overturn a law allowing school vouchers may be done away with via the ballot initiative.
September 6, 2024
Aysenur Eygi was a 26-year-old idealistic, altruistic and heroic Turkish/American woman who saw the decades old ongoing injustice of the Jewish state of Israel's slaughter and land theft against the Palestinians in the Palestinian West Bank. She went there to show her support of the oppressed Palestinian people who are under attack from Jewish squatters and the Israeli Occupation Forces. An Israeli sniper shot her in the head and murdered her. US politicians, the vast majority of which are political whores for Israel, asked Israel to investigate the murder. That's like asking Charlie Manson to investigate the murders his gang committed.
In Australia, the Christian defendants in the case of the killing of eight-year-old Elizabeth Rose Struhs by withholding her insulin from her in order to heal her through faith and prayers based on the Christian Bible gave their closing statements. Their closing statements bring out the vital importance of Deists educating people about the ungodly and harmful nonsense in the Christian Bible. In at least one closing statement the erroneous belief that the Christian Bible is God's Word was expressed. The statement was, “Though I know we look like fools and idiots, deceived or brainwashed, a laughingstock, I know the opposite is true – that God’s word is true, no matter how things may appear.” The more we get people to realize the Bible is NOT the Word of God, the more we will improve the world and prevent superstition-based deaths of helpless children.
In Ireland, a 700-page report on sexual abuse of children at religious-run schools was released by Ireland’s Minister for Education Norma Foley. The report covers the years 1927-2013 and documents 2,395 cases of child sexual abuse. It is believed “collusion” between the religions and the government is why it went undetected for so long.
September 5, 2024
Bring Your Bible to School Day has morphed into Bring Your Bible Day, which includes not just school students, but also adults who are encouraged to bring their Bible to work. This will take place on October 3, 2024. This is a recruitment effort by the Christian fundamentalist pro-theocracy organization Focus on the Family.
Israeli PM Netanyahu held a press conference allegedly to explain why he will not accept a ceasefire agreement in Gaza that requires the Jewish state of Israel to pull its troops off of the Philadelphi line which separates Gaza from Egypt. Netanyahu used a map in his propaganda show. This article points out that the map Netanyahu used looked as if the Palestinian West Bank and Palestinian East Jerusalem all part of Israel, as they were not even on the map.
The Jewish state of Israel has been conducting Jewish terrorist raids into the Palestinian West Bank for years. They have stepped up these terrorist attacks since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. This interesting and thought-provoking article takes the position that Israel is testing the boundaries for ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people from the Palestinian West Bank with its Israeli military terror attacks.
September 4, 2024
In Australia, the prosecution has finished presenting their case involving the 14 Christian defendants who withheld insulin for the diabetic daughter, Elizabeth Rose Struhs, of two of the members. Elizabeth died from this Bible-based faith healing nonsense. The defendants decided not to call any witnesses. Tomorrow the Christian defendants may give their statements to the court. That will be interesting if they decide to do it!
Here's an informative article about the Christian theocrat Jeffer Landry, who is also the governor of Louisiana. He is requiring that the 10 Commandments are posted in every public-school classroom across the state. As the article points out, he's playing a major role in the religious right's push to turn the US into a Christian Bible-based theocracy, which would make the US Constitution null and void.
Movies and television shows are powerful forms of propaganda. The religious right is moving deeper into movies and television with more and more Christian propaganda movies and television shows.
September 3, 2024
The state education board of Texas is going to hold hearings this month to bring Bible-inspired lessons into public-schools. The Bible lessons would be for grades K-5. The Christian theocrats are working hard to turn the US into a suppressive Bible-based theocracy.
On June 27th, Oklahoma State Education Superintendent Ryan Walters issued an order to require that a Christian Bible be in every public-school school room in the state, and that teachers incorporate the Christian Bible into their lessons. Now, many Oklahoma superintendents are refusing to follow the rule. It'll be interesting to see what happens.
"The Big Bang may not have been the beginning of the universe, according to a theory of cosmology that suggests the universe can “bounce” between phases of contraction and expansion. If that theory is true, then it could have profound implications about the nature of the cosmos, including two of its most mysterious components: black holes and dark matter."
September 2, 2024
The bodies of six Israeli hostages were recovered by the Israeli military in Gaza. The deaths of the six Israeli hostages inspired huge protests in Tel Aviv and in Jerusalem. The protesters are angry at Israeli PM Netanyahu and the Israeli government for not reaching an agreement with Hamas for a ceasefire and hostage exchange. Israel is holding thousands of Palestinians hostage in its prisons and 101 Israeli hostages held by Hamas remain in captivity.
Joe Biden said Israeli PM Netanyahu is not doing enough to free the Israeli hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza. Biden, however, continues to ship millions of dollars worth of deadly bombs, missiles and ammunition to the Jewish state of Israel.
Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) is an organization that has been demonstrating on college campuses across the US. They oppose the Jewish state of Israel's ongoing slaughter of Palestinian children, women and men. Currently the Jewish state has killed over 40,000 Palestinians, nearly half of them are children. Rutgers University has suspended the SJP until July 4, 2025. The SJP promised to ignore the suspension.

The United Nations has released a report that states the Sunni Islamic terrorist organization that controls Afghanistan has deprived 1.4 million girls of receiving an education. Religion does not need people of knowledge and reason; religion needs people of faith. As the Deist Thomas Jefferson wrote, "...man, once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous, and like a ship without rudder, is the sport of every wind. With such person, gullibility which they call faith, takes the helm from the hand of reason, and the mind becomes a wreck."
College students who exercised their free-speech rights by publicly demonstrating in opposition to the Jewish state of Israel's ongoing slaughter of Palestinian children, women and men in Gaza, and against Joe Biden and other US politicians continuing to send Israel weapons and ammunition throughout the ongoing slaughter, are still facing punishment from their colleges and from the legal system. Freedom is not free.
Over the summer, many US colleges and universities have instituted unconstitutional anti-free-speech rules in order to shutdown students and others from demonstrating for the Palestinians being slaughtered by Israel in Gaza. Some of the protesters involved are going through the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to stop the new unconstitutional rules from being applied.
August 29, 2024
There are tens of millions of people who are nones (they don't belong to any organized religion). This article is about a devout Christian woman who left Christianity, and all organized religions, because of being duped for years by a megachurch pastor. It turns out the Christian clergyman/con-man, Robert Morris of Gateway Christian megachurch, had sexually abused a child and lied about it.
This interesting and informative article is about how millionaire Christian clergy make much of their millions of dollars. One of the millionaire Christian preachers, Keith Craft, is a "life coach" who charges "clients $84,000 annually to participate in his Life Mastery Mastermind."
New York University is attacking freedom of speech by making "Zionist" a protected class that cannot be criticized. This is in response to students who protested on campus against the Jewish state of Israel's ongoing slaughter of Palestinian children, women and men in Gaza.
August 27, 2024
In Bethlehem in the illegally and cruelly Israeli occupied Palestinian West Bank, Jewish squatters/"settlers" shot and killed a Palestinian and wounded three other Palestinians. This religious violence is all based on the Hebrew Bible, what Christians have relabeled as the Old Testament. The Hebrew Bible claims all the land the Palestinians own was given to the Jews by God to be owned by Jews and to be an eternal Jewish state.
Police in the Philippines have occupied the 78 acre property of millionaire Christian megachurch pastor Apollo Quiboloy. The clergyman/con-man is on the wanted list of the FBI for human trafficking. "An indictment from the Department of Justice in 2021 charged Quiboloy and two of his top administrators with trafficking young women and girls in the U.S. who were coerced into having sex with him under threats of 'eternal damnation.' The controversial megachurch pastor allegedly claimed that sex with him was a 'privilege' and 'God’s will.'"
Here's an interesting article from a Roman Catholic site/publication regarding Satan and exorcisms in the Catholic Church and the popes. The clergy invented Satan, demons and devils in order to better control people through fear. This foolishness does cause very real, real-world harm, as is evident when people are injured or even killed in exorcisms. A case in point is the killing of four-year-old Jessica Mast whose faith-based, not God-given reason-based, parents and fellow Christians killed her in an exorcism.

The Sunni Islamic terrorist officials who rule Afghanistan reject the United Nation's criticism of their new misogynistic laws which require women to not speak in public and to be covered head-to-toe with their faces covered when in public. The statement said in part, “We urge a thorough understanding of these laws and a respectful acknowledgment of Islamic values. To reject these laws without such understanding is, in our view, an expression of arrogance.” This goes to show that not all religious ideas and acts deserve respect. Irrational and harmful religions do not deserve any respect.
A Muslim in Germany went on a stabbing rampage killing three people and wounding eight people. The killer turned himself in to police. He is a member of the Sunni Islamic terror organization of Islamic State. Imagine what a much better world we will have when Deism displaces the "revealed" religions and Thomas Paine's "I detest everything that is cruel" does away with the cruelty of the "revealed" religions.
In India, a 30-year-old man who suffered from seizures and bouts of screaming had parents who are people of faith, not of reason. The asked a pastor for help. The pastor told them their son was possessed by the devil and that he needed an exorcism, in which the devil would be beaten out of their son. The pastor and eight other people of faith beat the man so much they killed him. The parents notified police who arrested the pastor.

Yesterday, Joe Biden asked the prime minister of the Jewish state of Israel, Netanyahu, to move Israeli military forces away from the border of Gaza and Egypt. Doing so would probably bring about the ceasefire sane people want. Netanyahu told Biden he'd move one military unit only a few hundred meters. Biden did not threaten to withhold American cash and weapons from the Jewish state if Netanyahu did not cooperate.
Here's an interesting article about the repulsive and hypocritical Democratic National Convention that concluded last night in Chicago, Illinois. The article points out the phony "joy" of the Democrats while they willfully ignored the genocide the Jewish state of Israel is carrying out in Gaza, having already killed at least 40,000 people.
The Sunni Islamic terrorist organization that rules Afghanistan has just published its vice and virtue laws. They claim that "this Islamic law will be of great help in the promotion of virtue and the elimination of vice." Article 13 of the misogynistic and irrational law states, "It says it is mandatory for a woman to veil her body at all times in public and that a face covering is essential to avoid temptation and tempting others. Clothing should not be thin, tight or short. Women are obliged to cover themselves in front of non-Muslim males and females to avoid being corrupted. A woman’s voice is deemed intimate and so should not be heard singing, reciting, or reading aloud in public. It is forbidden for women to look at men they are not related to by blood or marriage and vice versa."

At the "Democratic" National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, the "Democrats" are not allowing Palestinian Americans to speak at the convention. This makes it easy to see the profound and harmful hold the Jewish state of Israel's lobbies have on US politicians from both parties. An important book on this problem is The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy.
Here's an in-depth article about the ceasefire talks going on concerning Israel's war on Gaza. Israel's PM Netanyahu does not want a ceasefire, even though he claims to be working on one. That is why he frequently makes changes and demands things he knows Hamas will not accept.
Many people in the religious right claim the US was founded as a Christian nation and that the US needs to get back to its imagined biblical roots. A recent survey shows that a large number of Protestants are not at all knowledgeable about their Christian Bible. Anyone who believes the US was founded as a Christian nation does not know the history of the US.

In Nkandla, South Africa, a court sentenced two women and a male Christian pastor in the deaths of a nine-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl. The three adults, who are people of faith and not of God-given reason, believed the children had demons inside of them. They performed exorcisms on the children which involved beating the imaginary demons out of them. The court could have sentenced them to life in prison, but that did not happen. The court said, "In sentencing the trio, the court deviated from the prescribed minimum sentence of life imprisonment, saying that the case had an unusual factual matrix in that the accused believed that the deceased were possessed by demons and inflicted the assaults in the process of driving out the demons from the deceased. The court found this to constitute as substantial and compelling circumstances to deviate from life imprisonment."
The Hebrew Bible, what the Christians call the Old Testament, based violence the Jewish state of Israel has and is unleashing on the people in Gaza, not only kills tens of thousands of people, including children, it destroys the sewerage and water systems in Gaza. This allows waste and filth to flood Gaza. This, in turn, causes illness and disease to spread among the besieged populations. The first case of polio has now been confirmed.
This article is about Christianity and religion in the Democratic National Convention. The Republicans had a lot of religion in their convention, while often claim the Democrats are godless. This goes to show Thomas Paine was correct when he wrote in The Age of Reason, The Complete Edition, "...the Bible decides nothing, because it decides any way, and every way, one chooses to make it."

In Kenya, survivors of a Christian sect whose lead clergyman told the people of faith, not of God-given reason, in his sect to withhold food and water from their children so they could die and meet Jesus, and then to follow them by starving themselves to death to meet Jesus, began to testify in court. In March, 429 bodied of people in the Christian sect who followed their faith to their shallow graves were discovered by authorities.
Joe Biden and his Secretary of State Antony Blinken are claiming Hamas is not agreeing to a ceasefire agreement for Gaza. Hamas said that is not true, while other people involved in working out a ceasefire agreement said Israel has not agreed to comply with the current agreement being put forward by the US.
Most megachurches are Protestant, often Christian Evangelical or Pentacostal. Now, the Roman Catholic Church is getting in on the act of having megachurches. They are doing this because of the lack of priests.

In Australia, the ongoing case of Elizabeth Rose Struhs, the eight-year-old diabetic girl whose Christian parents took her off of her lifesaving insulin and who died because of their act of faith/superstition, has shown the Christian group, The Saints, Elizabeth's parents belong to, believes the government not allowing religious people to kill their children through faith healing is "religious discrimination."
Roger Waters, the co-founder of the rock band Pink Floyd, described the Jewish state of Israel's slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza as "murder in broad daylight." Currently the death toll in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli military is over 40,000 children, women and men.
This article is about the mobs of Jewish squatters/"settlers" who are stealing land from Palestinians in the Palestinian West Bank. The reason the Jews who are attacking the Palestinians with rifles and Molotov cocktails is rooted in their Hebrew Bible which claims God chose the Jews "above all people that are upon the face of the earth" (Deuteronomy 7:6) and that God gave all of that land to the Jews for an eternal Jewish state. The Hebrew Bible/Christian Old Testament also claims God will "set thee (Israel) on high above all nations of the earth" (Deuteronomy 28:1), which would include the US, UK, and every other Gentile nation on our planet Earth.

Here's a fascinating article about scientists who discovered pure math is written into evolutionary genetics. The intelligence-based universe is truly wonderful, fascinating and amazing!
"Televangelist Keith Moore’s ministry Faith Life International has purchased a third jet following a fundraising campaign to raise $10 million." It's wrong and foolish that religions get tax exemptions.
The Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Society, a Black Baptist organization, received a $1 million donation from a Black megachurch in Virginia. The money is to be used to free Black girls who are being held as slaves in Ghana via the Trokosi tradition. Clergyman Howard-John Wesley said, “It was our trip to Ghana that exposed us to the slave trade industry that you wouldn’t believe still existed in 2024. We really felt like God gave us an opportunity to make a difference in freeing some of these young ladies.” Wesley is probably not aware that his Christian Bible never condemns slavery and in fact, teaches slaves to be obedient to their masters and to live in fear of their masters. For just one example, 1 Peter 2:18 teaches people who are slaves, "Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward."

The talented and internationally renowned pianist, Jayson Gillham, spoke the truth regarding the Jewish state of Israel killing Palestinian journalists. Speaking the truth got Gillham in trouble.
In Boise, Idaho, library trustees rejected a request to deem the Christian Bible ‘harmful to minors,’ and to restrict access to it. Since the Bible contains accounts of incest, genocide, child rape and many other ungodly and disgusting things, it should be restricted as adults only.
The king of the Bamasaaba tribe of Uganda is marketing to tourists the mass circumcision ritual known as Imbaluof. However, many of the Bamasaaba people are not happy with making the circumcision ritual a tourist attraction.
August 14, 2024
Following the myth in their Hebrew Bible, what Christians call the Old Testament, that God gave real estate to Abraham and the ancient Jews for a Jewish state, Israeli officials published plans today for new Jewish settlements on Palestinian land in the Palestinian West Bank. If you understand the ungodly and cruel Hebrew Bible, you know all the land the Palestinians live on is considered by the Jewish state of Israel to be land God gave to the Jews.
The theocrats of the religious right are having success in turning the US into a Christian Bible-based theocracy. The US Supreme Court made many rulings in their favor over the last couple of years. In Louisiana a law was passed requiring the 10 Commandments to be posted in every public-school classroom throughout the state. In Oklahoma the Christian Bible is now required to be taught in public-schools. Now, Texas is infusing the Christian Bible in public-school curriculum.
School vouchers, in which tax dollars are used to pay the tuition of children in private schools, the vast majority of which are religious schools, have cost the state of Ohio at least $966.2 million last year. It's hypocritical for religious schools to take money that comes from taxes people pay, when the religions are exempt from paying taxes.

In Japan, a father, Atsushi Maishigi, believed his 13-year-old daughter, Tomomi Maishigi, was possessed by an evil spirit. He consulted a Buddhist monk, 56-year-old monk Kazuaki Kinoshita. In order to drive out the imaginary evil spirit, the girl's father and the Buddhist monk "performed a ‘waterfall service’ on the 13-year-old where she was allegedly bound to a chair by a belt and placed face-up underneath a water pump for five minutes at a Buddhist church in Kumamoto, south Japan." Tomomi died. Her father and the Buddhist monk were arrested and charged with inflicting injury causing death.
The US Secretary of State and Orthodox Jew, Antony Blinken, approved the "sale" of $20 billion in military aid to the Jewish state of Israel. $19 billion of it would be F-15 fighter jets, with the remainder being shells for tanks and military vehicles. When Israel "buys" US military equipment, etc., it usually with the billions of American tax-dollars the US politicians from both parties give them. This deal will ensure Israel can keep going with its slaughter of Palestinian people in Gaza and in the Palestinian West Bank. They've already killed at least 40,000 Palestinian children, women and men in Gaza.
The World Union of Deists has a new video up on our YouTube channel. The video is about how many Deists look at Providence. It helps to correct the false claim that Deism teaches The Supreme Intelligence/God never intervenes in the universe and or our lives.

The bombs US politicians from both parties give to the Jewish state of Israel work very well. When the Jewish state of Israel's air force dropped them on a school in Gaza that was serving as a shelter for refugees over the weekend, the American bombs killed over 100 Palestinian children, women and men. Some of the dead people were so torn apart into small pieces by the American made bombs, the unidentifiable human remains had to be placed in bags until the bags weighed 70kg each and that would be counted as one person. Israel, with the essential help of US politicians who are indebted to Israel's lobby for their political careers, is really bringing back the ungodly and cruel god of their Hebrew Bible/Christian Old Testament.
The Biden administration is sending US warships to the Middle East, along with at least one squadron of fighter planes in order to protect the Jewish state of Israel from Iran. There is now being added to those military assets a submarine capable of firing missiles. After Israel assassinated a Hamas leader inside Iran, Iranian officials threatened to retaliate with an attack on Israel.
A rabbi in Ireland was arrested for performing an illegal circumcision. 47-year-old Rabbi Jonathan Abraham was arrested for performing a circumcision without being registered as a medical practitioner. He is now in an Irish prison.

"The World Central Kitchen (WCK), a U.S.-based, non-governmental organization, said on Thursday that a Palestinian staff member had been killed in Gaza." This is the same humanitarian organization that had a convoy of food trucks in Gaza attacked three times by Israeli air attacks. The Jewish state of Israel killed seven WCK volunteers in those cowardly attacks.
The 19-year-old man in Austria who was planning a massive and deadly attack for this week at a Taylor Swift concert was self-brain-polluted by watching online videos from the Islamic terrorist organization of Islamic State. Police said he made a video of himself swearing allegiance to Islamic State.
After Israel assassinated a Hamas official inside Iran, Iran has threatened to attack Israel. A Biden administration official has said Iran does not have a right to attack the Jewish state. He also warned Iran that if they do attack Israel, they will suffer significant consequences. US politicians from both parties are more than happy to sacrifice the lives and limbs of American troops and BILLIONS of tax dollars taken from Americans for Israel.

On December 15, 2015 the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) placed the Bill of Rights “nativity” display in the Texas state Capitol (the Bill of Rights was adopted December 15, 1791). It was of Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and the Statue of Liberty looking adoringly at the Bill of Rights in a manger. Christian theocrat and Governor of Texas Greg Abott had the display removed three days later. The FFRF sued and won their case for freedom of speech and freedom of expression. The state of Texas was ordered to pay the FFRF $358,073.67 for attorney fees. The FFRF reports that they have now received payment.
Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich earlier this week said regarding the Jewish state of Israel's ongoing ethnic cleansing in Gaza of Palestinians, "Nobody will let us cause two million civilians to die of hunger, even though it might be justified and moral, until our hostages are returned." This desire to commit genocide is right in line with the Hebrew Bible which Israelis claim is their God-given deed to the land the Palestinians own.
In Malaysia a shaman/"holy" man performed healing rituals on children called a "blood kiss" ritual. In the ritual, the shaman/"holy" man would cut his tongue and then kiss physically restrained children on the mouth and get his blood into the children. He claims this heals children from illnesses. The world really does need reason-based Deism!

Matthew Miller, a spokesperson for the US State Department, said, regarding charges that the Jewish state of Israel's soldiers have committed rape of Palestinian prisoners, that Israel should investigate and hold the guilty accountable. Israel frequently investigates it own military and finds them innocent. When there is a guilty finding, the punishment is negligible. Rape of Palestinians, or any Gentiles, by Israeli soldiers should not surprise anyone. In 2002, Rabbi Colonel Eyal Karim, Karim has since been promoted from colonel to general and is in charge of the Israeli Military Rabbinate, said that Jewish soldiers are, according to the Hebrew Bible, allowed to rape Gentile women. His exact words were, "to satisfy the evil inclination by lying with attractive Gentile women against their will".
Here's an interesting and informative article about how the theocrats of the religious right are using schools to move America towards becoming a Christian Bible-based theocracy. One of the biggest lies of the religious right theocrats is that America was created by Christians as a Christian nation. Here's our page which makes clear that is a lie.
In February the Biden administration issued an executive order that allowed economic sanctions to be placed against Jewish terrorist/settlers/squatters who use violence to force Palestinians from their homes and farms in the Palestinian West Bank. Now the Biden administration is being sued by Christian and Jewish Israel-firsters. They claim sanctions are a violation of their religious freedom.

In the town of Mthunzini, South Africa, two nine-year-old girls were believed to be possessed by a demonic snake. Their family and their pastor severely beat the girls in order to remove the "demon" within them. They believed a snake stuck its head out of one of the girl's vaginas. The pastor and the girls' family then tried to burn and scrape the imaginary snake out of the girl's vagina. Both girls were killed due to this irrational superstitious/religious event.
Here's some great news. "A growing international coalition is fighting to prevent vessels carrying military fuel to Israel from docking in the Mediterranean Sea." Without fuel, the Jewish state of Israel would not be able to launch air assaults against the people in Gaza. An estimated 40,000 people, including 15,000 children, have been brutally killed by Israel in Gaza.
The Jewish state of Israel has, through the Red Cross, returned over 80 bodies of dead Palestinians to Palestinians in Gaza. The bodies are in varying degrees of decomposition. They did not include the names of the dead people, only numbers.

Over two weeks ago US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who is an Orthodox Jew, said Iran is one or two weeks away from having a nuclear bomb. It's now over two weeks since he made that propaganda statement, and Iran still does not have a nuclear bomb. The Jewish state of Israel, which really does have nuclear bombs, has been saying for over two DECADES that Iran was a few weeks or a few months away from having a nuclear bomb. These lies are told to move the US closer to a war against Israel's enemy Iran, just as lies were told to start the Iraq War for Israel's benefit.
In some concerning news, a new survey shows that 53% of Americans believe the First Amendment right of freedom of speech has gone too far. People should keep in mind this quote from 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."
In Massachusetts vandals attacked five Christian churches that support gay people. It is believed the vandals were also Christians, since a Christian flag was left at two of the churches that were vandalized as well as a banner reading "Jesus is King." It does not make sense for Christians to support gay people. This is because Christians claim the Christian Bible is the Word of God, and the Christian Bible contains the Hebrew Bible, what Christians call the Old Testament. The Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, at Leviticus 20:13, claims God commanded the Jews to kill gay men. It 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."

The “Filioque” clause of the Nicene Creed has to do with the imaginary "Holy Trinity" of Christianity. The clause claims the Holy Ghost/Holy Spirit came from both God the Father and God the Son. Disagreements about this between Christian clergymen caused Christianity to split into a Western and an Eastern Church. Now the Lutheran World Federation and the Orthodox Church have reached an agreement about this "important" nonsense. Superstitious people take superstition very seriously!
The exodus of people from the "revealed" religions, which has brought about the growth of the "nones", people who don't follow any of the world's religions, has caused houses of worship to lose members. This has now impacted the Christian publishing industry.
Here's an interesting and informative article about Jewish Israelis supporting Israeli military members who rape Palestinians/Gentiles and torture Palestinians/Gentiles. It points out that a group of religious Jews on the political right are referencing the Maccabean Revolt circa 160 BCE in which religious Jews killed Hellenistic Jews.
August 1, 2024
Eastern Orthodox Christian monks, more than 100 of them, are preparing to do battle with Greek police. The monks are squatters on a "holy" mountain, Mount Athos. The monks are from the Esphigmenou Monastery. The Ecumenical Patriarchate administers the mountain, and they want the monks removed. Religion even causes division within the same religion.
Here's an interesting article about the new requirement for public school teachers in Oklahoma to teach the Bible to their public-school students.
Joe Biden and Israeli PM Netanyahu spoke during a half-hour phone call today. Biden promised Netanyahu that he would order US military deployments to protect the Jewish state from attacks by Iran. After Israel assassinated a Hamas leader inside Iran, Iranian officials have promised a reprisal attack on Israel.

Christians United for Israel (CUFI) is the largest pro-Israel Christian organization in the US. It claims to have 10 million members. At its annual convention in Maryland, just outside of Washington, DC, July 29, 2024, hundreds of protesters demonstrated against the powerful theocratic organization. Demonstrators held banners, one that read "CUFI Kills" in reference to Israel's ongoing slaughter of tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza.
In India there is religious animosity between Hindus and Muslims. A "holy" Hindu pilgrimage in which 30 million Hindus will leave their villages and walk along a highway to the "sacred" Ganges River, the most polluted river in the world. They will collect some "holy" water from the polluted Ganges and bring it back to their villages for religious rituals. The Muslims who live along the highway and own shops along the highway are likely to become targets of the Hindus. The government wants Muslim eateries and shops to have names that make it clear they are owned by Muslims.
Here's an interesting and informative article about the theocrats in the religious right and their movement to smash the Jeffersonian wall of separation of religion from government.

The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a growing and powerful organization of Christian theocrats who are working to turn the US into a Christian Bible-based nation. This in-depth article gives a better understanding of the NAR and how they are accomplishing their goals.
Israeli member of the Jewish state's parliament, the Knesset, Hanoch Milwidsky said it is permissible for Israeli troops to "to insert a stick into a person's rectum" if the victim belongs to Hamas. This was said while Milwidsky and hundreds of members of Israel's right-wing stormed an Israeli military base which is used to imprison people Israeli military forces take from Gaza for questioning. Nine members of Israel's military were going to be questioned regarding the brutal abuse of Palestinian prisoners. The base was stormed when military police arrived to question the nine suspected of raping and torturing Palestinian prisoners.
Oklahoma's Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters recently issued a directive ordering all school districts to incorporate the Christian Bible into public school curriculum. Now there are at least eight school districts who are resisting this unconstitutional order. In response, Walters has issued an ultimatum to teachers. If they don't comply, they should move to California.

Sylvester Ofori is a Christian prophet and minister. He operated Floodgates of Heaven International Ministries in Orlando, Florida until he murdered his wife in 2020. Ofori shot her in front of the Navy Federal Credit Union branch where she worked. He then walked up and shot her several more times in her head. He wa
