A teenage Bone victim called convicted rapist Hector Aviles a &quot;horrible monster&quot; who takes advantage of naive young girls for his own pleasure.



&quot;What this man has done to me and others is sickening,&quot; she said yesterday in a court statement. &quot;I wish him to suffer the way I've suffered.&quot;



Aviles, 51, will return to prison for eight years for sexually assaulting three Yonkers girls in 2006, after telling them he could use  ...</description>

Hashmel Turner of Fredericksburg, Va., wears two hats: City Council member and part-time pastor of the First Baptist Church of Love.



Not surprisingly, Rev. Turner wants to pray in the name of Jesus Christ — including when it’s his turn to offer the opening prayer at council sessions.



But on July 23, Turner lost the latest round in his battle to invoke Jesus when the 4th U.S.  ...</description>

MADISON — Taxpayers cannot sue the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for incorporating religion into its health care programs for the nation’s veterans, an appeals court has ruled.



The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday the Madison-based Freedom From Religion Foundation and three of its members have no legal standing to bring the case.



The group was trying to end the agency’s practice of asking patients about their religion in “spiritual  ...</description>

WINNIPEG -- Residents rallied Thursday to protect the family of a young man murdered on a Greyhound bus last week from a posse of radical religious protesters planning to portray Tim McLean's death as God's wrath.



Earlier this week, the Westboro Baptist Church - an organization branded as a hate group and infamous for protesting the funerals of slain U.S. soldiers - announced they would picket Mr. McLean's funeral  ...</description>

Opponents of a controversial condominium project said they want the City Council to use eminent domain to get back property near City Hall sold by the county to a developer.



They also threatened civil disobedience if the project continues.

About 50 people gathered Thursday around an old magnolia tree — where activists Steve Rasmussen and Dixie Deerman have been keeping a 24-hour vigil for the past month — on the site of the planned nine-story Parkside Condominium.

			<description>Paganism conjures up a raft of stereotypes - stone circles, witchcraft, devil worship, The Wicker Man.  But one man is determined to set the record straight from a quiet Ainsdale cul-de-sac.



Committed Pagan, Pat Regan, has recently had his second book published - The New Pagan Handbook, in which he highlights the negative images unfairly linked with the religion over the centuries.



He says 'Pagan' is &quot;one of the most widely abused words in the English language... often a term used  ...</description>
