So begins another week like any other
A few items of interest as we end this non-Rapture weekend:
- Razib "David Hume" Khan has a unique hypothesis about Harold Camping's bible studies.
- Atheist high school student Jessica Ahlquist, who kicked the metaphorical hornets' nest when she asked her school to take down its prayer banner (pictured), has started a blog. She seems to have a lot to say, and has the writing skills with which to say it.
- Another atheist high school student, Damon Fowler, kicked the hornets' nest and got stung. He challenged the legality of the traditional school-led graduation prayer at his high school, even getting the ACLU involved; he has only harassment from his classmates, scorn from the teachers and administrators, and being thrown out on the street by his parents to show for it. At least his brother is being supportive.
I would like to think that the Rapture story has been beaten to the point it's no longer recognizable as a dead horse, but it's just a matter of time until the next crazy doomsday prediction. As for all the high school atheists out there, keep standing up and speaking out! Public school officials shouldn't be endorsing any religion, period. Hold them accountable to the law, because you can bet that other Christians aren't going to.
