Sudan Foreign Ministry States Christian Woman Sentenced To Death For Apostasy Will Be Freed
As an Eastern Orthodox Christian, I try with all my might not to judge any person or group on all things spiritual. I admit I was not so successful in judging the Government of Sudan harshly for the perverse and the ultimate in senseless violence–a Government-ordered death sentence to a lady whose dignity.(what, if any, of it) was worsened by forcing her to give birth while in leg shackles. All of these atrocities were ordered because of some Sudanese government official deemed that his vision of spirituality proscribed the death sentence of a Sudanese citizen because she married a man who happened to practice Christianity. My hope is that sometime before I leave this earth how an organized religion in today’s world could not only tolerate these type of atrocities, but actually support them.

Jonathan Turley, a GWU law professor (who taught there when I attended, though I wasn’t fortunate enough to take a course from him) has an excellent and very active bog. If you don’t follow him or have not read any of his previous posts, I would encourage you to do so. This particular post addresses a situation so ridiculous I had to reblog it.

The mother of a third grade girl attending Mill Plain Elementary School in Vancouver, Washington is demanding changes in a school room program where students are required to pay to use the bathroom. The program was to be a lesson in money management where students received and worked for Monopoly Money to buy items in the classroom but the teacher required a payment of M$50.00 in order to use the bathroom.
Jasmine Al-Ayadhi told reporters her nine year old daughter, Reem, did not want to pay to use the bathroom and ultimately had an accident, causing her both discomfort and having to endure teasing by other children. In agreeing with the need to teach children the value of money Jasmine said, “Work for your money, to earn it, to buy like a little toy or a little squirt gun or a little ball. When it…
