I ran across this while reading the blog of a Pagan Quaker (Yes there is such a thing, yes it's a different discussion).  It's part of the Faith and Practice statement of a particular Christan Quaker group called Freedom Friends http://freedomfriends.org

Freedom to live in the way you want,

not because certain rules of school govern you.

Not adhering to strict diet of controls.

what you can and what you cannot do.

What supplements of life do we need to live this painfull life we in

not withstanding and adding on all the pollutants of mind

to control your every thought,

I came across a review for a book by Gina Welch (Secular Jew, Athiest) about her undercover journey into Evangelical America. My first reaction was "Oh great, another athiest bashes the religious right." As I read further reviews and a Q&A with her on time.com it seems that she is trying to find common ground between Evangelicals and Athiests; to discover that we are all people with genuine motivations to do good and help others.

The book came out a couple of weeks ago, I'm going to pick it up this evening. Here are a couple of links to check out.

Some may be interested in this on-line journal.

Toronto mosque offers 'detox' for Islamic radicals

In what is likely the first of its kind in Canada, a Toronto mosque is offering a "detox" program for young Islamic radicals who are sympathetic to the terrorist group al Qaeda.

         It was the third bomb this week in Pakistan. A man walked into a mosque in Jamrud during Friday prayers. The congregation was about the size of our gathering this morning. Just after the Imam said the words, “God is great”, the bomb was detonated.   Half of the congregation were killed or injured.
