LINKNonedecision 2020: 5 Reasons Secular Americans are Poised to become Major Force in US Politics - TheHumanist.com

One of the demographic aspects of the nones (Americans who answer “atheist,” “agnostic,” or “nothing in particular” when asked their religious affiliation) that’s been well covered in the media is how the group’s growth is fueled by young people, particularly those under the age of thirty. What’s not necessarily known is how much younger secular Americans are compared to religious Americans.

LINKTrump Is Unraveling - The Atlantic

In case there was any doubt, the past dozen days have proved we’re at the point in his presidency where Donald Trump has become his own caricature, a figure impossible to parody, a man whose words and actions are indistinguishable from an Alec Baldwin skit on Saturday Night Live.

LINKTrump’s war on reality just got a lot more dangerous - The Washington Post

Coronavirus deaths in the United States are rapidly closing in on 100,000. The economic depression is stretching out ahead of us as far as the eye can see. Joe Biden is holding a steady lead in polls. So President Trump has decided he has only one real chance at reelection: to bet mostly on his magical ability to create the illusion that we’re rapidly returning to normalcy, rather than taking the difficult concrete steps that would make that more likely to happen. The signs of this are ...

LINKA Quick Introduction to the Endtimes | Roll to Disbelieve: A Quick Intro to the Endtimes

Back when I was a believer, I read and reread all the Left Behind series. Some of it disturbed me, and the rest was a good story. Getting away from that BS helps me to see what the mindset of the believers is. They're waiting for Jeebus to come back and they think Drumpf is going to usher him in.... Yeah, I'm ready for them all to be raptured off the planet and out of the way.

For this year and next, the stimulus bill boosts subsidies for nearly all those buying their own coverage, making insurance free for more people and giving higher-income people discounts for the first time. The American Rescue Plan broadens the subsidies available under the Affordable Care Act for comprehensive health insurance — increasing them for people who are already eligible, and providing new assistance for people with incomes previously too high to qualify.

In Deleted Sermon, Georgia Shooter’s Pastor Said “Radical Feminism” Was Satanic | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos

Crabapple First Baptist Church announced this week that they were going to officially kick Robert Aaron Long, the Georgia spa shooter who murdered eight people, out of their congregation. They explained that despite celebrating his baptism in 2018 (in a now-deleted Facebook post), they could “no longer affirm that he is truly a regenerate believer in Jesus Christ.” In other words, he had betrayed Jesus. The statement itself seemed fairly comprehensive. The church admitted Long’s family ...

If nominated and approved, Barrett would be the sixth Catholic on the high court. Two justices—Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan—are Jewish, and Neil Gorsuch is an Episcopalian who was raised Catholic. The five remaining justices are all Catholic. In Barrett’s case, it is particularly concerning that both she and her husband are reported to be members of a group called People of Praise, which the New York Times reported “grew out of the Catholic charismatic renewal movement that began in ...
