The Bible contains just one true recipe, for a bread of wheat, barley and lentils cooked over a fire made from burning human excrement The ingredients were a direct revelation from the Almighty to the priest Ezekiel. The taste?
"Like moldy bean sprouts," says the Rev. Rayner W. Hesse Jr., an Episcopal priest. "You don't want to eat it. Never, ever. Let me emphasize that: Never."

Well, there's one minor difference -- the book of Ezekiel said that God relented when Zeke objected to the human dung part. Not that it would affect the taste, I expect... it was just a source of heat.
Then again, after reading that book, I think it should be patently obvious that ol' Zeke was a major crackpot and could have benefitted enormously from some serious therapy. 8)

I find Eric's argument that atheism is not a religion odd considering his remark in his article, "I include a nore on my own side of the religious spectrum, atheism." While I commend his attempt at fair-mindedness, I find it hard to understand how something can be on the "religious spectrum" without being in some way religious. I say "attempt" because, unlike the religious items, Harrington actually agrees with the atheist "weirdness" in principle; he just doesn't think it's practicable right now, and makes atheists look bad; though it's hard to imagine what would "improve the atheist community's standing in our society." Maybe if "free-thought" didn't mean "not free to think that anything supernatural exists..."
Also, Eric thinks the fuss over the DaVinci Code is silly because it is a work of fiction. However, editions are commonly prefaced by a page boldly labelled "FACT" which states the most absurd ravings of Brown's book as though they were historically true. Dan Brown has also claimed repeatedly in interviews his belief that they are true, and his book clearly intends, and is taken to intend, to show that they are. So it's a little disingenuous to claim that it's "only a work of fiction, so what's all the fuss." Brown knows exactly what he's doing, and so do his publishers.
I would also like to note, for those who believe that fundamentalists are the "Christian Taliban," that not a single theater was torched for showing the ridiculous film made from the ridiculous book.

Oops...how'd that happen? This system never has worked quite right. Nor am I a computer whiz. Oh well, at least I have an electric stove.
