Barack Obama, Religious, Shallow, or Psychopath
2008-06-03 05:02:00 MY VOTE IS FOR THE LATTER“…Most criminals -- whether psychopathic or not -- are shaped by poverty and often childhood abuse as well. In contrast, corporate psychopaths typically grew up in stable, loving families that were middle class or affluent. But because they're pathological liars, they tell romanticized tales of rising from tough, impoverished backgrounds. Dunlap pretended that he grew up as the son of a laid-off dockworker; in truth, his father worked steadily and raised his family in suburban comfort. The corporate psychopaths whom Babiak studied all went to college, and a couple even had PhDs. Their ...

The California Supreme Court Decision: Civil Equality Trumps Religious Bigo
2008-05-23 09:51:00 by Mel Seesholtz, Ph.D. The ruling had been anticipated for months. Gay Americans hoped they’d be recognized as equals and gain the right to the civil institution called “marriage.” The Christianist Right held their breath knowing that when put to the ultimate test, discrimination always loses. The California Supreme Court decision was announced at 10 AM (PDT) on 15 May 2008. Both sides “won,” sort of. In a May 17, 2006 editorial The New York Times summarized: The California Supreme Court brought the United States a step closer to fulfilling its ideals of equality and justice with its momentous 4-to-3 ruling upholding the right of same-sex couples to marry. … Opponents of giving gay couples the respect, benefits, obligations and protections that come with marriage are already mobilizing to try to nullify the historic decision through a proposed state constitutional amendment likely to appear on the November ballot. … Still, the California verdict was a major vict...
Spiritual, but no longer religious
2008-05-20 06:59:00 From Adam WLike many of you, I was raised an evangelical Christian along with my entire family. I went to church on Sundays, bible study on Wednesdays, church camp during the summer, you name it. But during all of that, there was some part of me that realized, on a very deep level, that a lot of it was just total b.s., especially the parts about "non-believers" going to hell.It is totally impossible to believe that your fellow brothers and sisters on this planet are going to hell and also be happy yourself at the same time. Happiness requires being able to sense the worth and goodness of every human being. Christianity, on the other hand, teaches people that they are worthless sinners. It is a despicable religion that we should do away with. Has anybody else noticed that Chrisitians are by far the most neurotic people in society?Although I am no longer religious, I consider myself to be very spiritual. Have you guys read the works of Joseph Campbell, where he identifies the similari...

Headscarf Law Applies to All Religious Coverings, Judges Say
2008-05-17 07:51:00 DW-World.deDeutsche Welle says, on | 15.05.2008, "Teachers in Baden-Wuerttemberg cannot wear a headscarf in class A law which prohibits Muslim women teachers from wearing headscarves in a German state's public schools also forbids Catholic nuns from wearing their veils in regular classrooms, judges said Wednesday.The administrative tribunal of Baden-Wuerttemberg state set out the position in a detailed written judgment, two months after ruling verbally that a woman convert to Islam, aged 58 at the time, could not teach in her scarf. The teacher converted to Islam in 1984 and began wearing a headscarf during class in 1995. The southwestern state has a law that bans "exterior expressions of religious confession." The so-called "headscarf debate" is a long-raging one in Germany, home to more than 3 million Muslims, most of Turkish origin. Many consider the headscarf a form of oppression against women and say immigrants who want to live here harmoniously must accept certain Western v...

Religious intolerance is alive and well in the USA
2008-05-12 00:41:00 "Muslim!" Now Available In Insult Form: In a 2004 survey by Cornell university, almost half of the national respondents favored curtailing the civil liberties of Muslims. 40 percent of Republicans wanted American Muslims to register their whereabouts. There are some Americans who recognize the demonization for what it is... but we all need to look fairly at religious discrimination.As Ali Eteraz's article points out, even Mitt Romney, a Presidential candidate who comes from a marginalized religious background, cannot accept the idea of a Muslim in the cabinet. Why? There is resistance among many Americans to the obvious truth that Muslims are a diverse group: 1.2 billion humans, living in virtually every nation on the planet cannot possibly be less diverse than, say, the registered Republicans in the USA. When all Republicans can agree on an issue then we can ask the question again.Meanwhile, Congressman Keith Ellison's faith raises eyebrows (except in his Minnesota district, th...
Religious rites in Britanny
2008-05-11 20:30:00 One of Brittany's oldest religious days or pardons takes place in Locronan in July each year.Known as the Petite Tromenie, the centre-piece of the pilgrimage festival is a huge procession, featuring silk banners documenting all the parishes that are participating.Those taking part walk approximately six km around the sacred areas of Locronan.They dress in costume and sing traditional Breton songs as they walk from Locronan Church to Le Nemeton, a sacred forest clearing.In the middle of the forest lies a natural temple, which dates back centuries as a Pagan site for worship, symbolising nature and fertility.Once every six years (the last time was in 2007), the event gets much bigger with la Grand Tromenie, with thousands of pilgrims travelling 12 km.Locronan is a picturesque village in the north-east of France, dating back to the 16th century.
