Pray for Andy Rooney

"The CBS star said he was chagrined over reports that religious values played such a critical role in this year's election.

'I am an atheist,' Rooney told Tufts. 'I don't understand religion at all. I'm sure I'll offend a lot of people by saying this, but I think it's all nonsense.'

He accused Christian fundamentalists of being ignorant, saying Christians turned to religion because of 'a lack of education.'

'They haven't been exposed to what the world has to offer,' he explained. "

Palestine vs. Israel as the Name of the Holy Land

There is a propaganda war going on now with regard to the term Palestine.

At one time it might have been argued that Palestine was an innocuous designation of the Middle Eastern area, that is generally thought of as the Holy Land. During the last few decades, however, the term Palestine has been adopted by Arabs living in Israel in the area west of the Jordan River. It is specifically employed to avoid the use of the name Israel, and must be considered an anti-Israel term. In all Arab maps published in Jordan, Egypt, etc., the area west of the Jordan River is called Palestine, without any reference to Israel. Palestine is the term now used by those who want to deny the legitimate existence of Israel as a genuine nation among the family of nations.
