Hollywood's four-letter word: God::By Brent Bozell III (http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/BrentBozellIII/2006/12/29/hollywoods_four-letter_word_god)
Atheist activist Sam Harris recently proclaimed on National Public Radio that America needed a lot more mockery of religious belief. "I think the criticism of irrationality just has to come from 100 sides all at once," he declared. "In the entertainment community, maybe you'll just have people making jokes that are funny enough and true enough so as to put religious certainty in a bad light."
Harris said he's been trying hard to make contacts among the mind-benders in the news and entertainment media to find those God-scorning people who feel "a profound sense of relief that comes with hearing somebody call a spade a spade."
Why does taxpayer-funded NPR, or anyone else for that matter, care what atheists like Sam Harris think?
