Feminism; Religion
An article on LiveScience posits that Feminists Have More Fund. The author of the piece seems somewhat surprised by this--because not all feminists are ugly! *gasp*--which I find kind of ironic.
Yes, feminists look just like you! We're not some kind of exotic species. ~_~ And yes, when two people in a relationship are both feminists, happiness and harmony follow. Why? We share things equally; neither of us looks down on the other or feels looked down upon; we can be more comfortable because we don't necessarily adhere to traditional gender roles for things like breadwinning; we aren't as likely to be bent out of shape about how other people are living their lives; etc. It makes perfect sense--when all parties see both sexes as equal, then equal treatment follows from that, and happiness on all parts follows from that.
-------------------------------------
Are we a Christian nation?
Perhaps we are, but as the author of this piece states, that's not necessarily a good thing. When such complicated things as "religion" and "nation" get mixed up, we get Jesus crucified by the Romans; we get unparalleled religious persecution okayed by the state; we get a breakdown of a large part of what makes this nation great.
We need to tread carefully and make wise decisions in order to avoid the mistakes of our predecessor countries and in order to preserve important parts of our culture, our Constitution, and our various religions.
Peace.

Urania: Just stumbled on your site and thought you might be interested, since you like to read. After may years of travail and rejection, I am having my first novel published next spring. HUNTING THE KING follows archaeologist Molly O'Dwyer into Iraq to search for the physical remains of jesus and his illegitimate daughter Hannaniah. The novel is really about Molly, who lost her mother as a child, and her search for faith. It is my discussion on the diff\erence between religion, which is purely political, and faith, which is completely democratic and individual. You can check out the book on the Kunati Books web site spring 2008. Hope you look into it. Seems like something you might read. You can also catch my blog somewhere around here under Hunting the King. Peter
