Eliminate Oppression with Oppression!

Today the The Conseil du statut de la femme( "is a government consultation and study council that, since 1973, has devoted itself to promoting and defending the rights and interests of women in Québec" ) has decided to call:

on the Quebec government to ban what it calls visible religious symbols. While a crucifix or a Star of David on a necklace would be acceptable, council president Christiane Pelchat said, public employees should not be permitted to wear such overt symbols as the hijab, a head covering worn by Muslim women, or the yarmulke, a skullcap worn by Jewish men.

Yeah, uh sorry, you can't eliminate oppression by oppressing people..

Much of the article pissed me right off... I don't even know what to say!? hypocritical bullshit.

Losing Faith. why not?

This article was posted on Pandagon the other day. read it. It's about NY Times collumnist William Lodbell. He use to be a religious collumnist and the article is about how he lost his faith after years of covering the sex scandles, rape, denile and cover-up of the chatholic church.

It has some information that I've actually never read before. I'd like to read some of his old collumn.
