Welcome to Phil Lewis Art.com!!! In Texas, young Hindus want to Americanize ancient faith By Dan Gilgoff, CNN.com Religion Editor Houston, Texas (CNN) – In many ways, 29-year-old Rishi Bhutada is a traditional Hindu, not so different from his Indian-born parents. An officer at his dad’s pipefitting company, Texas-born Bhutada had an arranged marriage in India three years ago and then brought his wife back to his hometown, where they recently welcomed a son. Bhutada is a strict vegetarian and avoids alcohol, as do many observant Hindus. Complete coverage: Defining America And the dashboard of his Toyota Prius is adorned with a small metal statue of Ganesh, an elephant-headed Hindu god known as the remover of obstacles. And yet Bhutada is a different kind of Hindu than his mom and dad. His parents were part of a major wave of Indians who arrived in the U.S. in the 1960s and ’70s and focused their religious lives on building a community of believers and temples around Houston, which was then a Hindu wilderness. Surprising origins of "Don't Mess with Texas" The U.S.

ekantipur From Minister To Atheist: A Story Of Losing Faith hide captionTeresa MacBain walks her dog, Gracie, at a park near her Tallahassee, Fla., home. After a lifetime in the church, MacBain came out as an atheist at an American Atheists' convention in Bethesda, Md. Colin Hackley for NPR Teresa MacBain walks her dog, Gracie, at a park near her Tallahassee, Fla., home. After a lifetime in the church, MacBain came out as an atheist at an American Atheists' convention in Bethesda, Md. This is the first in a series of stories on losing faith. Teresa MacBain has a secret, one she's terrified to reveal. "I'm currently an active pastor and I'm also an atheist," she says. MacBain glances nervously around the room. Her secret is taking a toll, eating at her conscience as she goes about her pastoral duties week after week — two sermons every Sunday, singing hymns, praying for the sick when she doesn't believe in the God she's praying to. "On my way to church again. Courtesy of Teresa MacBain Finding Atheism For years, MacBain set her concerns aside.
Ils ont fait le tour du monde : 32 portraits de blog-trotters - Sandrine Mercier, Michel Fonovich - Livres Special Education Through the Blissfulsage Foundation and Care-Belize partnership to provide resource libraries, staff development and Special Education awareness programs we will be addressing the following Millennium Development Goals (MDG). 1.

‘Free Will,’ by Sam Harris But the last half-century has seen this ancient subject pulled down from its academic perch and into courtrooms, laboratories, real-world questions about moral responsibility, and even popular culture. (It forms the plot of such contemporary movies as “Minority Report” and “The Adjustment Bureau.”) Over the last few decades, procedures for measuring, imaging and analyzing mental processes have grown in number and subtlety. During this same period, books for the general reader about the brain and its functions, consciousness and will, thought and reasoning have proliferated. We have Daniel Dennett, Steven Pinker, Richard Dawkins, Cordelia Fine, Oliver Sacks, Michael Gazzaniga, Daniel Kahneman and scores of others explaining, and extrapolating from, new findings in neuroscience and almost always addressing the matter of free will. His absolutist position, I should add, because, as he puts it near the beginning of the book: “Free will is an illusion.

British ambassador to US denies he helped Saif Gaddafi with PhD In a statement, a Foreign Office spokesman said: ''Sir Nigel Sheinwald did meet Saif Gaddafi during the time he was studying at the LSE, and was therefore aware that he was preparing a thesis. ''But Sir Nigel had absolutely no role in the writing of any part of the thesis, made no suggestions about it to Saif Gaddafi or anyone else, and suggested no changes.'' Last month Sir Howard Davies resigned from his post of director at the LSE over the university's links to the Gaddafi family. He said the decision to accept £300,000 funding from the Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation (GICDF) in 2009, had ''backfired'' and expressed regret that he had visited Libya to advise the regime about how it could modernise its financial institutions. The LSE council has commissioned an independent inquiry into the university's relationship with Libya and with Saif Gaddafi.
A Catholic Reply to “How to Suck At Your Religion” An anti-religious (and specifically, anti-Catholic) webcomic is making the rounds on the Internet right now. It’s part of a webcomic called The Oatmeal, and is called “How to suck at your religion.” I have to warn anyone clicking that link that it’s really offensive: profane, lewd, and blasphemous, all at once. You would think that something this over-the-top would cause even non-religious people to balk at posting it on their Facebook feeds as indicative of their own views. There is a temptation to say, “It’s a webcomic, don’t take it so seriously!” So here are my thoughts, by panel: The first panel depicts a Catholic priest (with a Roman collar) confidently damning all those who don't belong to the Church. But the other view is that religion describes something, and Someone, utterly real… the very ground and sustenance of reality, in fact. Update: Marc Barnes (Bad Catholic) responds to the same webcomic, quite wittily.Update: Thanks to all who have commented so far.
