Episode 66--Dogma Free America

Sorry for the long wait! Work got in the way, but here we are with a brand new episode. A pseudo victory for freedom of speech in Canada. More of the "Dog Wars" from the UK. Instead of illegally teaching religion, a Colorado school district tries to use it to instill "values" and then gets sued. How appeasing religious zealots only creates a culture of entitlement. A kooky "cult" leader in New Mexico says that his prosecution for child sex assault will bring about the End of the World. And, just to get in on the action, Pat Robertson ask for prayers to prevent just the same thing (funny, I thought he was praying for the apocalypse all along). Your emails. And much, much more. Additional material added 10/21/08 (or for you Non-North American listeners, 21/10/08): A commenter requested that I mention my favorite podcasts.
