>Katherine Harris told a religious journal that separation of church and state is "a lie" and God and the nation's founding fathers did not intend the country be "a nation of secular laws."

>"If you're not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin," Harris said.

LOL! This lady has lost her mind. God gave her a face once, so why did she not accept it? Did God want her to get plastic surgery?

:-)

>[Isaac Hayes](http://www.isaachayes.com/) has quit "[South Park](http://www.southparkstudios.com/)," where he voices [Chef](http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/Movies/9907/07/isaac.hayes/chef.jpg), saying he can no longer stomach its take on religion.

>Hayes, who has played the ladies' man/school cook in the animated Comedy Central satire since 1997, said in a statement Monday that he feels a line has been crossed.

You see, Hayes is a [Scientologist](http://www.scientology.org/). Did anyone see the "South Park" episode about Scientology? Ot did not pull any punched, to say the least.

>Matt Stone (one of "South Park's" creators) told The AP he and co-creator Trey Parker "never heard a peep out of Isaac in any way until we did Scientology. He wants a different standard for religions other than his own, and to me, that is where intolerance and bigotry begin."

Night Light has an article called Don't Hide Behind God.  In which Ms. Rice (My favorite slip of her tongue was when she "accidentally" referred to the president as her husband. She's not even married, but I digress)  offers spirirtual advice to the NOLA Survivors.  Followed by God sticking a giant foot in her mouth.

Asked to say a few words from the pulpit, Rice, a preacher's daughter, said: "The Lord Jesus Christ is going to come on time." She added: "If we just wait."

For far too long the world has only heard from the radical right Christians. Now, however, it would seem, there is a growing political body of Christians who have much more moderate, and thank the Lord, view (instead of heavenly) about what we can do to make good on planet Earth.  The BBC has an artcile talking about Green Christians giving Bush a hard time for his weak environmental policies.

Green evangelicals first hit the headlines in 2002, when Reverend Jim Ball launched a campaign called "What would Jesus drive?", claiming that gas-guzzlers are ungodly. His call for the US government to take action to protect the environment has since been taken up by powerful leaders of the evangelical community.

...all the rules change,  The NYT has an article on the future of gaming.  Programmers, developers, and producers are being persuaded to take the next step. Some say they are playing God.  They might be right.

"Until now, artificial intelligence has usually meant that the human creates or perceives a model of how the computer makes decisions," Mr. Wright said. "But what if the computer is instead analyzing the player, and the program is customizing the experience based on the internal model it has created of the human?"
