Finding A Religious Common Ground...from CBS Sunday Morning

I enjoyed this story today on CBS Sunday Morning. Instead of identifying with any religion, I try to live by the golden rule. Ironically, it seems that is the stated goal of most faiths.

Owned! Alan Dershowitz Teaches Mike Huckabee about the Bible

Statistics show that less than 10% of people who claim to be Christians have actually read the entire Bible. Conversely, the majority of Atheists say they have read the religious text. My question is: How can someone base their life and entire belief system on something they've never read? How do they even know what the Bible says if they haven't actually read it?

As it turns out, Jews seem to read the Bible more than Christians, too. At least, in the case of Alan Dershowitz and Mike Huckabee. I don't know if Huckabee has read the entire Bible or not...but judging by this clip, I would say the answer is "no".

Agnostic Dad In Custody Dispute with Christian Ex-Wife

First off, full disclosure: I'm not married and I don't have kids. But, this story really hit home for me. I was raised in a church all of my life. By the time I was 30, I was agnostic and determined never to step foot in a church again. Let me tell you, if that logical decision of mine prevented me from having custody of my children, I would go guano crazy.

According to a survey at the beginning of this video clip, 80% of young people raised in a church, will be "disengaged" by the age of 30. I am such a statistic.
