• Priest & communicant fight over a broken cracker
  I think a better title for this story would have been   "Slap-happy Papist pappy goes medieval over cracked cracker".   The town of Rótova (pop. 1,350) in the province of Valencia in Spain is probably a quiet and peaceful place most of the time, but that was not the case Saturday when a fight broke out in church over a b […]

• Christian poll finds Millenials strongly support marriage equality
  LifeWay Research has just released the results of a new survey of Millenials, those Americans born between 1980 and 1991, and, like that old Bob Dylan song, they've found that "the times they are a'changin'."   The findings, which will be part of LifeWay Christian Resources new book, The Millennials: Connect […]

• This isn't atheist related but I still think it should be addresses
  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11186592This comes from the BBC about how the government is treating Roma Gypsies. Apparently the government is throwing them out for no reason.

At least once a year we should give a brief synopsis just to keep everyone up to speed, so this week you get one. The Atheist News Podcast host review. Lucky you […]

• Stephen Hawking: God did not create Universe (BBC)
  There is no place for God in theories on the creation of the Universe, Professor Stephen Hawking has said. He had previously argued belief in a creator was not incompatible with science but in a new book, he concludes the Big Bang was an inevitable consequence of the laws of physics.

• Stephen Hawking: God did not create Universe
  I guess we all knew it but as the article notes "He had previously argued belief in a creator was not incompatible with science but in a new book, he concludes the Big Bang was an inevitable consequence of the laws of physics." Now he sets the record straight. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11161493

• Jesus Christ sighted clinging to a Louisiana power pole
  This is one of those stories where seeing is believing... at least for some folks. While driving along Highway 26, Rickey Navarre, a Hathaway, Louisiana man was surprised to see what appeared to be an image of the crucified Jesus Christ hanging on a utility pole; an image formed out of clinging vines.   More, including a video, […]
