Yesterday, I wrote a post about James Swan's interview on Iron Sharpens Iron. He was kind enough to add follow-up comments on his own blog! Check him out!

Atheism is Dead: Adolf Hitler Was a Christian! Was Adolf Hitler a Christian?, part 2 & 3

 Here is the second part of Mariano's post on his blog. It is excellent because he actually tackles the question of what we know about what Hitler's relationship to the Catholic church. I think he shows Hitler was catholic in name only and did not live his life as a Christian. I realize that some people think that this is beating a dead horse and in some ways that is true. There is no leg to stand on to say that Hitler was a Christian. However this does not stop dishonest proponents of atheist from trying to prop up that dead horse. As long as they keep trying to argue that Hitler was a Christian, posts like the ones Mariano writes will be needed!

Librarians Refuse to Lend 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' to 11-Year-Old, Call It 'Porn'

I just read an article about librarians being fired over not allowing an 11 year-old girl checkout The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen graphic novel.

Here's how a local news station, WTVQ, described the incident:

Beth Bovaire worked at Jessamine County Public Library up until a month ago. She and Sharon Cook worked as librarians- the two were fired last month when they say they didn't allow a child check out a book from the league of extraordinary gentleman series.

"My friend Sharon had brought it to me on Wednesday, and she said 'look at this book it's filthy and it's on hold for an 11 year old girl,' and I said well okay, lets take it off hold."

The Jessamine County Library director says it's against their policy to speak about employee terminations but he did give me a copy of their policy and it clearly states the responsibilities of the child's reading must lye with the parents and not with the library.

The women say the books contain lewd pictures of men and women in sexual situations that are inappropriate for children.

I think it may be because of my age, but I see nothing pornographic about the book. It is no more risque than anything rated PG-13 today. Believe me, Alan Moore has written far kinkier stuff (Watchmen)! I think that this is an example of censorship in ignorance. The story for The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
is about all the greatest adventure and fantasy characters of late 19th century British Literature teaming up to save the world as a superhero team! I think it's a brilliant premise. I mean to name a few: Captain Nemo (20,0000 Leagues Under The Sea), Alan Quartermain, Dr Jekell, the Invisible Man, Dorian Gray, and other characters teaming up is exciting! Don't these "educators" want young people exposed to these characters. This could help inspire young people to seek out the original stories!

THE APOLOGETIC FRONT: Thus saith Colbert...

Image via Wikipedia

I realize that Colbert is mocking conservative news talk shows. But this is very funny. He points out that both sides of the debate of whether or not it is lawful for a cross to be memorializing dead veterans of WWI on federal land. Atheistic Liberals are silly because the cross has been there for 70 years so why should any anyone be offended now. Justice Scalia's defense for keeping it is silly because now saying that the cross is just a symbol for the dead, robs it of any significance and is offensive.

Bonus: Colbert recites nearly the whole Apostolic Creed!
