About.com Agnosticism / Atheism:
It should probably go without saying that none of us can look at then explain any text without some sort level of interpretation being added in. No text can make an impression on us without first being mediated by things like culture and politics, personal history and emotions, and so forth. No one can approach any text abs (Read More)

About.com Agnosticism / Atheism:
It's all too common to see Christians in America trying to argue that their sectarian, religious symbols are somehow "secular" in nature.
