Don't make me watch!  As a Christian, I know I'm an alien and stranger here [Heb 11:13, 1 Peter 2:11], but is it necessary to make me watch as the American people go along with the Pentagon's insane plan to bomb Iran? Read this news story in today's Telegraph, along with a map of bombing targets, and please let me know when I can wake up from this nightmare. Better yet: Get on the phone to your representatives in Washington, DC, and speak some sincere sedition to them.

Priest 1, Atheist 0.  The under-the-radar Italian trial over the existence of Jesus ended on Friday as Judge Gaetano Mautone dismissed Luigi Cascioli's lawsuit against small-town parish priest Enrico Righi.¹ What I like best about the whole story—perhaps it's the unsettling irony—is that the two men, atheist and Catholic priest, were formerly schoolmates.
