Should Obama prove to be too formidable for Ms. Hillary, I fully expect dirty tricks of the likes we've never seen before to be launched by Bill Clinton and his pals in the 72 hours prior to the first primary.

Then, when Obama has been carted off stage and the dust has settled, we once again will be looking at yet another strong-woman-in-her-own-right-feminist, in a long line of strong-women-in-their-own-right feminists who required, when push came to shove, the services of her husband to make things happen.

You've just got to love the irony and the legacy.

Atheists and agnostics share a lack of belief in a theistic god. They share little else. It is not a worldview, but an absence of one. Their basic argument and evangelism is to point to the evils wrought by religion and to claim that these evils are particular to religion. Chesterton pointed out in response to this argument that it is almost always the good things, our children, our family, our community that drive men to evil trying to protect or provide for that good. How many crimes have been committed to provide wealth for a family? Does this make the family bad? Religion is no different than these other good things that men value, and it is the nature of man that is sinful, not the worship of God.

Christ provides a consistent truth across time for a people. The humanists can be libertarian, conservative, socialist, Freudian, hedonistic, violent or peaceful, or any flavor at all of a pagan approach to life united only in rejecting the culture contained in the religion of a people. The fragmentation leads nowhere and as we are learning, it leads nowhere very quickly. Will Durant pointed out that a civilization only needs to skip teaching a single generation to be lost.
