This week we’ll be meeting again in S101 for a discussion of the latest news in religion and politics.  Feel free to bring your favorite stories and discussion topics. As a conversation starter, consider the following two youtube questions from the Republican debate: one that asks On the Death Penalty, what would Jesus do? and another that asks Do you believe every word of the Bible? For more commentary, see Walter Shapiro’s response in Salon.com.
