| Re: [bostonatheists] The problem of the oblivious white male atheist - I personally feel pretty strongly that it is important to consider how complicit religious power structures have been in many of the saddest events of recent history. Consider the kind work of the Catholic church in 3rd Reich occupied France. | Alexander Fairley | Nov 21, 2009 |
