    Iraq war set to be more expensive than Vietnam.

    I am wondering if anything is more expensive than what it was in the late 60's and early 70's? :scratch:

    Judge to Parents: No Wicca or You Lose Your Kid

    I would consider myself the religious right, "fundie", Bush-supporter, etc etc, etc and all those that have turned this into a chance to bash this side is just as much in the wrong as this judge is when he/she (not sure of gender) took the chance to put his belief into his judgement. This ruling...

    Interesting Islamic Custom

    Interesting - the article said "The 1,400-year-old practice of muta'a— "ecstasy" in Arabic — is as old as Islam itself. It was permitted by the prophet Mohammed as a way to ensure a respectable means of income for widowed women." So why do Sunnis disagree with it? Dont the still consider...
