Flynn joins us for some very interesting news stories, including: A mother in Texas protests the Jolly Roger flag as a symbol of the local "Pirates" high school football team--because she incorrectly thinks that it is a satanic symbol. 90 Honor killings in Pakistan in the first quarter of this year. The Obama campaign starts a special clothing line intended for "people of faith." Sarah Palin blessed by Bishop Thomas Muthee (pictured), who has led campaigns against withcraft in his homeland. Note, this story was recorded before we learned of another Palin-Muthee story where he actually blessed her to be free of witchcraft. Ultra-Orthodox newspapers in Israel will not show photographs of the new leader of the Kadima party--and possibly the next Prime Minister of Israel if she can form a coalition government--Tsvpi Livni--because she is a woman. They won't even print her first name! All this and much, much more.

Rob gives a rant on the intersection of politics and religion in the modern day U.S.A. A San Diego, California school district tries to make a teacher remove a banner with a religious message. A comedian in Italy may be prosecuted for telling a joke about Pope Benedict the 16th. The Pope wants the church to be more "scientific" in investigating sightings of the Virgin Mary. Religion not a defense to possession of marijuana. A conservative legal foundation encourages pastors to endorse political candidates for the pulpit. Listener email. And much, much more.

News and views of dogma from around the world, including:

The Virgin Mary spotted in a tree trunk in Toronto, Canada.

The President declares the National Days Of Prayer.

More prayer services at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

A candidate for the U.S. Senate goes after her opponent for associating with those nasty and scary atheists.

More inter-religious violence in India.

Witchcraft accusations in the Ugandan army.

And much, much more.

Plus, Rich and Flynn read emails and comments.
