Great essays on religion & violence by graduate students in Freethought Today (jan/feb 2016) FFRF

We should get and publicize these essays by students on why religious faith is inextricably linked to violence. It's about f... time that we held religion accountable for these crimes against humanity; and these young people are doing an excellent job of it. Great issue to circulate: The essays are as follows:

"Nothing to fear but faith itself" Benjamin Schwarz
"What could possibly be the cause of religious terrorism?" Alex Flitter
"The fundamental link between religion and violence" Emilee Prado
"Religious perversion:ignoring the violence" Tara Clifford
"An explosive mix: Religion and violence" Samuel David Capps
"Religion as a primary cause of war" Sara Rose

I know about the FFRF org and have been to the website many times in the past. I was hoping the poster could give us a direct link to the essays.

But even if you're a member (like I am) they don't always post every article from the issues. I do wish they would.

I'm curious if you can access this link - http://ffrf.org/publications/freethought-today/itemlist/category/615-december-2015

It would theoretically take you to the December 2015 issue. Most of that issue is available online.

I'm reading the essay by Sara Schwabe now.

Before, I was clicking around trying to find any essay.
