Clip show VIII

Yesterday marked the start of the Blog Against Theocracy semi-week, which coincided with (or was it pre-ordained?) the VLWC's eighth bi-monthiversary.

The former means a lot of good folks in the blogosphere believe in separate plates for church and state, just like America's heathen forefathers did.

The latter means it's time to raid our archives for the most quasi-memorable quasi-recent posts from this god-forsaking corner of the blogosphere.

In honor of BAT, we'll lead off with the faithless-based stuff:

• The atheist is always wrong: Part I, Part II, and Part III
• Unhealing hands — when your doctor's religion stands between you and health care
  
• Obama still overplaying the faith card
  
• DOJ's new civil rights focus: providing muscle for the Christian majority
• The media keeps faith with the conservatives
• The Bible is true!
• God hates hate-crimes laws that protect gays

When we're not arguing religion, we're arguing politics:

• When Manicheans are evil
• What the media won't do to get rid of us pesky bloggers
• Counting the days until the violence in Iraq is re-blamed on Iran
• Predicting Bushco's next excuse
• Sicko is good for your health
• MC Hammer's pro-Bush, anti-war video
• 21 things we used to hate about us
• Why don't Iraqis learn to stop worrying and love our bombs?
• Memorial Day: searching for answers
• Cassandra is right
• The left is the center
• Wake me when there's worthy opposition
• "Convenience is a big factor when you're a terrorist"
• The American Dream, summarized
