Who says same-sex unions don't threaten marriage?

Oh Come All Ye Unfaithful
... the book is a broadside against all religion.
I recently read one of his articles in a literary journal where he declared that Ezra Pound was a "lousy poet"-a critical statement indicating that Hitchens has now adopted the Shakespearean mantle of the "all-licens'd fool," free to utter any opinion that comes into his head, no matter how fatuous.

Why are they throwing brickbats at God?
Terry Eagleton, an eminent literary scholar, reviewing Dawkins' book, The God Delusion, in the London Review of Books, says that Dawkins' writing on theology and philosophy is equivalent to someone writing on science whose sole familiarity with science is The Book of British Birds.

It is for those who prefer facts to fancies, history to histrionics, science to superstition."

Murdoch pastor gets heat for mogul's porn channels. Warren Refutes Charges
"Rupert Murdoch is a born-again Christian and Rick Warren claims to be his pastor," says Chris Rosebrough, head of the Christian Accountability Network. "As a Christian, Murdoch is committing an egregious sin by owning, expanding and profiting from pornographic channels, and Rick Warren, his pastor, has a biblical duty to call Murdoch to repentance and/or put him out of the church."

Lawful incest may be on its way
It was a common-sensical observation, though you wouldn't have known it from the nail-spitting it triggered in some quarters. When the justices, voting 6-3, did in fact declare it unconstitutional for any state to punish consensual gay sex, the dissenters echoed Santorum's point. "State laws against bigamy, same-sex marriage, adult incest, prostitution, masturbation, adultery, fornication, bestiality, and obscenity are . . .
