Apr 29, 2022: The Free Press: ​One Florida City Fights Atheists Over Prayer Vigil That They Say Violated Their First Amendment Rights
​Eight years ago, amid a rash of shootings that injured several children, the police chief in Ocala organized a prayer vigil for government and city leaders.
Chief Greg Graham, who died in 2020 in a plane crash, did so at the behest of local faith leaders. The event, which the Ocala Police Department publicly promoted, was held downtown and open to everyone.
​A liberal activist who sells sex toys online is getting national attention for calling on Florida's public schools to ban and even burn the Holy Bible over what he says are "obscene" and "harmful" passages.

​Atheists in Kenya (AIK) have termed the exercise of viewing bodies as outdated and unhygienic.
"The practice of public viewing of the bodies of the deceased during funerals is archaic, unhealthy, and defunct," the group's President Harisson Mumia stated.
He added that; "According to research, there are potential cognitive effects of having viewed a deceased body, something called "false recognitions." -The Nairobian
To escape the existence of one God, the atheist is forced to posit the existence of an infinite number of universes – some of which, presumably, contain very powerful God-like beings of their own. All of this to escape from God. Who here is guilty of allowing their psychological desires to lead them to absurd conclusions?
​According to the best scientific account of the origins of life, we emerged as the product of natural selection, in a struggle for survival, in which only the best-adapted genes got passed on to subsequent generations. Taking God out of this picture, you have to assume that our cognitive faculties were shaped only by the survival needs of Homo Sapiens in Palaeolithic Africa. If that's true, then should we trust our cognitive faculties?
Perhaps it's true that evolutionary pressures will generally carve out reliable belief-forming mechanisms. But why think that the mechanisms formed in our Palaeolithic ancestors are reliable in our very new environment? Why think that they would be reliable when forming beliefs about very abstract theories of philosophy and science, which have little bearing on our day-to-day survival? -Samuel Libbons; Aish
The Isle of Man reported today that "​People who don't believe in God could lead prayers before sittings of the House of Keys in future.
The recommendation comes from the house's management and members' standards committee, which was published this week
As it stands, the chaplain of the House of Keys leads prayers before every sitting."
​ME: One of the dumbest things I have read today.
