“Ohio’s students deserve a first-class education appropriate for the 21st century, not Sunday School lessons masquerading as science.”

I think fundamentally, the real power behind the anti-choice movement in regard to abortion and the opposition to the rights of LGBT Americans is fundamentally religious.

What I learned at that moment was the extraordinary clout that religious organizations can have to impose their theological views on others. And I found it exasperating and dangerous.

Air Force officials appear to be more concerned with appeasing the powerful Religious Right lobbyists who have argued against any guidelines that seek to respect and protect the rights of all cadets — not just those adhering to majority religious beliefs.

It was an effort to include intelligent design and treat it as science, disparaging evolution along the way. That will not stand.

I was interested in the question of the power of religious organizations to effect public policy in a negative way.

When I was in college, and I found out at that time the Catholic Church was in such control of everything in communities, including in progressive places like New York – that a roommate of mine was not able to obtain an abortion with his girlfriend, even in places like New York.

I know that there are people who are secularists who have problems with the rights of gay people and problems with reproductive choice, but frankly those people are few in number.

I think one of the great strengths of Americans United is that it has such diversity.

That it has not only people who have no religious belief, but lots of people who do and who take that belief very seriously. And I think that provides us with a great opportunity to talk about the separation of church and state.

I think it is going to be very difficult for any church that still calls itself a church, never to try and convince someone that their religion is the best one.

There are plenty of other groups, and some of them are quite good at what they do, but they also have an agenda of non-theism, but we don’t have, you might say, a theology. We just have a commitment to the Constitution.

Harriet Tubman is the perpetuation of a “Super Soul Sunday” every day.

Necessity knows no Sunday.

Sunday-evening tea before the fire! I have never missed one moment of beauty, not even taken it for granted.

I was watching the Blackburn game on TV on Sunday when it flashed on the screen that George (Ndah) had scored in the first minute at Birmingham.

I had a financial page to write in the Mail on Sunday where Id give tips on shares. I worked there for two and a half years. Nothing compares to the burst of energy felt on a newsroom floor when a big story breaks.

I’m a loser on Sunday. Yeah, I’m a couch potato. I get up and try and eat and then back on the couch. And watch anything.

We may not know whether our understanding is correct, or whether our sentiments are noble, but the air of the day surrounds us like spring which spreads over the land without our aid or notice.

She’d barely covered up her long, tan legs in a pair of shorts that made me want to go to church on Sunday just to thank God for creating her. – Beau
