go vote today, DITCH MITCH!! breathtakingly, i can not vote today for my own governor, as only ppl living with city limits can vote, and my address is considered the 'burbs, "county" address........
that seems wrong to me, that my very very large entire neighborhood is left out of voting for our own governor.
so someone go for ME today? Cast one for Gregg on my behalf, since my lamo local voting laws prohibit me from voting. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
still only 9 Hoosiers here? c'mon Hoosiers, join this group, i know you are out there!!

Topic: Why Establishment Poisons Everything. Speaker: The Rev. Dr. Charles W. Allen, Chaplain, Grace Unlimited, A Ministry of Indianapolis Lutheran-Episcopal Campus Ministry.
“Establishing a religion is unjust to those who do not follow it, but more importantly (for those of us who are religious), it cuts the heart out of that religion. Establishment poisons religion. But religion is not the only thing that establishment can poison. It can also poison the sciences, the arts, and anything else we consider vital to the betterment of life. Philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre once said that a vital component of the good life is 'a life spent in seeking for the good life.”' Establishment gets in the way of that vital component by penalizing the seekers. Establishment poisons everything.”--Dr. Allen

Scientific Examination of Religion—Sunday, May 15, 6:00 pm, Center for Inquiry Indiana, 350 Canal Walk, Suite A, Indianapolis. Topic: Liars for Jesus: The Religious Right's Alternate Version of History. Sean O'Brien is the discussion leader for this group. This will be the third in a series of discussions on this important book.
Though not as well known as the anti-science attacks from Creationists of all stripes, there is a growing revisionist form of American history that is becoming popular with many American Christians. This version of history denies the legitimacy of the separation of church and state and asserts that the United States was explicitly founded as a Christian nation.
Beginning in March, we will review the investigation by researcher Chris Rodda into the historical distortions and fabrications by a popular Christian Dominionist, David Barton. Her detailed and highly readable investigation into what the Founding Fathers really thought and said about religion, secular government and church/state separation counters Barton and others who claim to have a new version of truth.
Beginning in March, we will review Chris Rodda's book Liars for Jesus: The Religious Right's Alternate Version of History.
