Friday Link Roundup #14

Chris Hallquist has written an open letter to theists on the problem of evil. He’s just looking for your thoughts, not a debate. He asks some really worthwhile questions. If you believe in God, why not go answer him? Either way, please help spread the letter around.
Ted Cox has a great article on AlterNet about the fraud being committed under religious pretenses in “the unscientific, unregulated underworld of ex-gay therapy.”
A Belgian Cardinal was recorded on tape “urging a victim not to reveal he was sexually abused by a bishop.” When? Last April, as scandalous stories of cover-ups were all over the news. Come on, guys. How despicable do you really need to be? (Via Coming of Age.)
Physicists Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow explain in The Grand Design (due out next week) why it’s “not necessary to invoke God” to explain the universe’s origins. Predictable freak-out follows.
The Wall Street Journal “asked six leading thinkers to answer the question: What is moderate Islam?” The answers they get are very thought-provoking and insightful (doubly so when you consider that the WSJ is owned by News Corp).
