Bilble verses printed in rifle scopes give enemy every reason to believe we're in a religious war.

The last thing we want is to broadcast to the world that our army is marching and bombing and killing in the name of Christ.  That's their bag -- we're supposed to be reacting to that kind of kookery with a force for justice and freedom to worship any or even NO god.

So what are we doing paying ONE COMPANY 660 MILLION DOLLARS to manufacture rifle scopes with Christian Bible verses in them?  And the company (not surprisingly) unrepentant.

Rachel Maddow  and ABC discuss this mess after the jump:

Robertson: Haiti had a pact with the Devil

This is why he must be given a show on Comedy Central; but laugh though we must, THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of Americans listen and love him.  Now that's funny!!

NYS Senators Ruth Hassell-Thompson and Diane Savino speak on marriage equality

Really start listening at 3:13, she lays the issue out so clearly.

"We in government do not determine the quality or validity of peoples relationships -- if we did we would not issue three quarters of the marriage licenses we do"

"we're giving away husbands on network TV"

"or . . . the littlest groom, where thirty desperate women competed to marry a dwarf."

"they stand up there before god and man, even in Senator Diaz's church, and swear to love honor and obey, and they don't mean a word of it."

She really hits the nail on the head. Please forward this to anyone and everyone, and let the argument speak for itself. And let the hysteria abate.

Put your hands together for WHAT?

Holy crap, check it HERE.

"Leaders of the Church of Christ, Scientist, are pushing a proposal that would help patients pay someone like Lewis for prayer by having insurers reimburse the $20 to $40 cost.

The provision was stripped from the bill the House passed this month, and church leaders are trying to get it inserted into the Senate version. And the church has powerful allies there, including Sens. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), who represents the state where the church is based, and Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah), who said the provision would "ensure that health-care reform law does not discriminate against any religion.""

Now I'm all for regrouping and looking inward every so often, and if it helps to still your hands from action by folding them together -- then be my guest, but if I can't get coverage for a massage, then you can't get reimbursed for your magic.
