Necrophilia Law is a Rumor Ya People !!
2012-04-26 20:42:00 Now it has found its way to the Daily Mail , which is from the most read tabloids read online and you can imagine its impact on the Western mindset that already got that stupid stereotype about Muslims and Arabs already , I think I have to clarify things because it is getting out of control. ?It turned out it found its way to the huffingtonpost as well and Jezebl !!" From couple of days ago we found out that Amr Abdel Samaii , the writer in Al Ahram newspaper claiming that the Islamists in the parliament are going to draft called the Necrophilia law in a 18 words sentence for one time in his op-ed about women and media in the time of the new Islamist majority. . The necrophilia law allegedly allows the man to have one last sexual intercourse with his deceased wife in the first 6 hours after her death. !! The Egyptian National TV former host who used to support Mubarak and his son did not mention the name of MP who proposed that law or any further details about it in his...
Why have you forsaken me?

The politics of trashing organized religion
2012-04-18 16:13:00 A recent Newsweek magazine essay announced that Christianity was in “crisis.” My first thought was, “What’s new about that?” For more than 20 centuries it has been in trouble, from within and without, the former no less than the latter. Somehow it has managed. Newsweek promoted the essay with a provocative front cover that advised... Read more »
Atheism?
2012-04-15 21:26:00 An exchange on Twitter reminded me that a lot of people misunderstand what the word "Atheist" means. A lot of people have made this mistake, including some very well-known people such as Carl Sagan who said, in part, "An atheist is someone who is certain that God does not exist, someone who has compelling evidence against the existence of God. I know of no such compelling evidence."Even the Webster.com definition of the word is incorrect, stating "one who believes that there is no deity." The people who consider themselves simply "unsure" of the existence of one or more gods call themselves Agnostic.It's hard to blame the people who make this mistake, considering how "common knowledge" it is, but that's why we have to correct this error whenever we can so the truth becomes "common knowledge" instead of the mistake. The truth is, Atheism is a lack of belief, not a belief that there is no god or gods. I consider myself an Atheist not because I believe that there are no gods, but bec...

The citizenship of the Sheikh?s mom : Was she American or not ?
2012-04-02 11:57:00 My late mother had only a US Green Card while my sister has got a US passport because she lives in the United States. Sheikh Hazem Abu Ismail said so in an official statement published in his official campaign FB page on Sunday?s evening. Strangely this comes after one week of a complete denial that his late mom ?Mrs. Nawal Abdel Aziz? got any foreign passport. There have been rumors and reports that the mother of the powerful Islamist presidential had got an American citizenship and thus he will not be qualified for presidency. That strong rumor is enforced by several press reports claiming that the late lady entered the country in on 16 August 2009 coming from Germany with American passport and that the number of that passport is ?500611598?. This is a security way of leaking , why now , why they had to wait all that time , we are all wondering. Already Abu El Ismail can say whatever he wants yet the truth will be announced officially by the department of Justice in the United St...
Egyptian Presidential Elections :The Egyptian Christians? vote
2012-03-31 15:28:00 To whom shall the Egyptian Christians grant their votes in the presidential elections in 2012 ?? Late Pope Shenouda with Gamal Mubarak in 2009 In the past the Egyptian Orthodox Coptic Church used to support the Mubarak regime and used to tell the Coptic Christians to vote for Mubarak and even to vote for Gamal Mubarak for fear of Islamist take over. The Church does not only have to choose a presidential candidate to endorse or even to recommend but it also has to elect a new Pope in order to lead the Church in this upcoming new era and to deal with upcoming new president and new constitution. There was already leak from the orthodox church following the death of Pope Shenouda claiming the Church will be elected after the presidential elections. This means that the Church will choose its Pope based on the new president of Egypt as in the end the new Pope will deal with the new president so it will depend on the character of the new president. The Church managed to create this re...
France Bans More Muslim scholars
2012-03-30 00:11:00 France has decided to ban 4 Muslim scholars from entering its territories. The four scholars are : Egyptian Sheikh Safwat Hegazy , a former mufti of Jerusalem Akrama Sabri, Saudi clerics Ayed Bin Abdullah Al-Qarni and Abdullah Basfar. In a joint statement by French minister of foreign affairs Alain Juppe and minister of interior Claude Gueant we know that there are banned from entering France because ?These people's positions and statements calling for hatred and violence seriously damage republican principles and, in the current context, represent a serious threat to public order?. The decision is taken after the Toulouse massacre shocking events. The ministers wanted also to ban Tarek Ramadan from entering France as well but French government can?t do it because he is a Swiss European citizen. Ramadan , Hegazy and the rest were invited to attend some conference organized by the Union of Islamic Organizations in France (UOIF) in early April.It is worth to mention that UOI...
Abu El Fatouh En Jesuit : 2 hours of questions
2012-03-29 02:05:00 Presidential candidate Abdel Moneim Abu El Fatouh was invited for a lecture at the College De Sainte Famille ?CSF? aka The Jesuit Downtown Cairo tonight by the Catholic patriarchs and priests association and ?The Justice and Peace organization? which also follows the Catholic church. It was an open invitation for everybody and I attended it. The lecture was moderated by journalist Youssef Ramez who did an amazing job.Abu El Fatouh came along some of the member of his campaign including his political advisor and AUC political sciences professor Rabab El Madi. El Mahdi is a famous Marxist and even Father William hinted out to this fact as it was a sign on how Abu El Fatouh was open to others despite his Islamist background. Most of the attendants were Christians including a considerable number of nuns ?including a dear old foreign nun I once met in a Spanish course from several years ago? who went to listen and to ask the famous Islamist candidate who was Many of the attendant...

Study questions religion-depression link
2012-03-06 05:40:00 Some research has suggested that religious people may have a buffer against major depression - but new findings cast some doubt on that. Researchers said people who develop depression might be more likely to stop going to services, which could explain why those who regularly go to religious services have lower rates of depression than the less-devout. The new study found evidence of just that.
Is Sport a Religion? Praying for your Team to win the Cup
2012-03-04 20:52:00 Nowadays, most people are sports-crazy, one way or another. Whether it is the Soccer World Cup, the Superbowl, or the Stanley Cup, sports-fans all over have their favorite teams to fret and craze over. They take their games quite seriously; in fact, sometimes even more so than the team members themselves. You can see face paints, waving flags, jerseys and caps, and cheers and jeers everywhere. A win of your team can elevate your confidence, while others have entered a state of depression because their favorite team lost a significant match. The unfortunate side effect are also riots that can bring about in its extreme cases even death and destruction. Can we claim that sport is a modern-day religion? When we look at martial arts, religion and sport, in fact, seem to make a perfect union. Martial arts is as much a philosophy as it is a contact sport. Yoga is meditation practice while exercising your body at the same time. Wrestling was seen by the ancient Greeks as a form of combi...

Ten reasons why Santa Claus is better than Jesus.
2012-02-12 15:05:00 1. While Santa Claus and Jesus are both fictional, Santa Claus is based on a real person. He was even a follower of the Jesus character... and got shit for it! 2. Santa Claus has reindeer that help him to fly. Does Jesus fly? What, walking on water? Hah. Childs stuff. Have fun prancing around on puddles, Jesus.3. Jesus may have risen from the dead that one time but Santa Claus doesn't die. Also, it took Jesus three days. Slow bitch.4. Santa Claus gives kids toys, what does Jesus give? Forgiveness? Yeah, that's what kids want for Christmas. Nice gift, asshole. What next, socks?5. Santa Claus doesn't get by on the coat-tails of his father.6. Santa Claus has elves, elves are cool. What does Jesus have, apostles? Apostles sounds like something you would need medication for. Elves > apostles any day. 7. Santa Claus and his elves makes toys, Jesus makes religious assholes and shitty bumper stickers.8. Santa Claus just asks that you don't be an asshole, Jesus and the bible requ...

You know what pisses me off? "Tolerant" atheists.
2012-01-22 12:24:00 This is something I've never undestood. That is, the idea that if you're a parent you should "let your child choose" between being taught religion and not being taught it. Take them to church if they want, why not? See what's out there.To me, that makes absolutely no sense. Why would you even consider this? Here's a news flash, there may be two sides to every story but they aren't always equal. One of the responsibilities of a parent, in my opinion at least, is to make sure their child is properly educated. I don't consider sending your child to a place where they will be taught that the world is 6,000 some-odd years old, an invisible sky wizard created the universe and everyone becomes birdman when they die, to be seeing to your childs education.Let me ask you this, would you want your child to be taught that the moon is made of cheese? Would you want them to be taught that the Earth orbits Mars? What about that Albert Einstein invented the wheel? No? Why not? Give your child...
Coptic Christmas : More than celebration in 2012
2012-01-07 00:27:00 And tonight is the Coptic Christmas aka Orthodox Christmas Eve , it is a great event without doubt and this year it is extremely important for three reasons : The Holy Family in Egypt "Virtual Khan" The first Christmas mass after the revolution. The first Christmas mass after a tough year where tens of Christian protesters were killed in clashes with security forces including the Maspero clashes. The first Christmas mass after the meteoric reason of Islamists in Egypt. There is no doubt that from 7th January 2011 to 7th January 2012 there is a huge change in the Egyptian Christian community , people are not afraid especially the Christian youth who began to refuse the Church guardianship when it comes to politics after years of Church?s domination. This Christmas Egyptian Christian youth held online Campaign to send a clear message to the Orthodox Church : Do not receive representatives of SCAF. Mina Daniel and his brothers were not killed in vain because actually his bloo...

THE RE-EDUCATION OF INDONESIA
2011-12-22 23:34:00 In an attempt to reclaim "lost" youth and restore "moral values," authorities in Indonesia are corralling dozens of punk teens and forcing them to give up their rebellious ways. The effort includes shaving the heads of many of the detainees, ridding them of their punk attire, and forcing them into a strict regimen of religion and military drills. Despite the clamp down, The Guardian reports, many of the teens are still rebelling and sticking to their punk ethics. Here's what one young man had to say about fighting the power:

Science is also a religion
2011-12-16 08:42:00 Theoretically speaking, science can never contradict religion. Even miracles have rational explanations. The rabbis were adamant that God does not perform miracles by violating the laws of nature. Nor do the historical accounts have to be accurate: the rabbis insisted that all of them were given only for the sake of their interpretation. Three questions distinguish religion from science: does God exist, how was the universe created, and what is the nature of life? The first proposition cannot be disproved. It cannot be proved, either, but at least it passes the Occam’s Razor test as the simplest explanation of observed phenomena. Scientific explanations of how the universe appeared border on religion because they are inherently unverifiable and use transcendent notions. Scientists declare that matter is eternal, thus sidestepping the issue of creation. Curiously, Genesis employs a similar approach when it says that the world was bara, ‘formed’ rather than ‘created.’ Th...

Dr John Hislop. Vaunted ?Perfect Disciple? of Sathya Sai Baba
2011-11-06 10:38:00 Like so many devotees, especially those close to Sathya Sai Baba, ex-foremost leader of the Sathya Sai Organization (outside India), Dr John Hislop knew very well that Sai Baba told lies. Devotees, however, pass these off as, variously, "Baba's funny little ways"; "his sparing of our feelings"; his "Leelas" (meaning his 'divine sportiveness' .... When writing, they use a capital 'L'); "his perfect 'Truth', but our human imperfection" which cannot see that he is teaching us some profound lesson, for example, in learning detachment; and more such Procrustean racking of human reason and commonsense. Sai Baba long exhorted that his devotees: "Love (him) for (his) Mystery". (Of course, his editors and other devotee writers capitalized the 'h' in 'him' and 'his' ..... Hislop also well knew that many devotees were in confusion about his many lies, all his predictions which failed, as did so many of his promised cures and e.g., of placements at his university or his colleges...
Religion, Law and the Need and Desire for Justice
2011-09-05 19:21:00 Triumph of Justice by Hans von Aachen Throughout history, people have been drawn to religion for a variety of reasons. Religious belief and practice often fulfill social, psychological and philosophical needs. Therein included are also the big existential questions like the purpose and meaning of life, the question of the afterlife, and a strong need, desire and longing for justice in a seemingly ambivalent world. The meaning of life is ultimately a highly subjective question and in this case I subscribe to the existential and multifarious trend of choosing the best path for the given individual or, to dress it in colloquial jargon, the unobtrusive and egalitarian ?whatever floats your boat? philosophy. When it comes to existence after existence, I have blogged about the mystery of the hereafter to a limited extent in my questions about the afterlife post. Here I would like to focus mainly on the need and desire for justice. As a child, we rely on our parents as the ever-present ...

Sathya Sai Baba Saga: Is There Too Little Indian Media Critical Analysis?
2011-07-08 16:21:00 Let my reader imagine that the following is a note of mine to an Indian media person seeking me out to assist in the development of a news story. It may take no prizes for diplomacy, but it is not far, I think, from the mood of both our former devotee network members from both India and other countries. First, Sai Baba and his key servitors on the Sai Central Trust and the international Sathya Sai Organization profoundly deceived and betrayd. From circa 2000, owing to both organized and informal activity of former devotees, a great deal of critical exposure of Sai Baba and his cult occurred. In some parts of the world, Sai Centers emptied, while, in general, many left, including many well-respected leaders. Next, allied with Sai Baba and his cult's officials, corrupt local, state and national government consolidated the evils done by their complicity in the cover up of the outrages - wide-scale sexual abuse by Sai Baba and some around him of boys and young men, Police executions ...
Sathya Sai Trust?s V.Srinivasan: Defending A Religious Empire Fallen. A Tor
2011-07-06 01:27:00 Unfortunately for Sathya Sai Trust spokesman V. Srinivasan and his (and Sathya Sai Baba's) already badly tattered credibility, Last Sunday, still more treasure was found in secret places in Sai Baba's private quarters. This time, the joint District Collector and her team searched for and found it. But, in a case of caught-out-yet-again, this lot of treasure DID NOT appear in the Trust's inventory, which the government of Andhra Pradesh had put the Trust on its Boy Scout's honor to make. Did the Sai Trustees obtain their spectacles or magnifying glasses from a manufacturer far superior to any the Trustees can manage to find? Srinivasan's earlier story was that huge amounts of money which police found being secretly removed by van and bus did not belong to the Trust but to twelve devotee donors.The India Daily reported (Tuesday 21 June 2011):

'Atheists for Islam' Happy to Support Religion?
2011-03-09 19:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston Sometimes a single picture is enough to put the left's folly in crystal clear terms and we have one for you today. The current crop of militant atheists have been parading about the country wailing about how the evil, evil Christians are oppressing them by having non-sectarian things like "In God We Trust" on our money or allowing a manger scene on city property. That's some oppression, there, eh? Well, last weekend a photo was snapped that shows exactly what militant atheists really mean behind their rhetoric. Oh, they aren't against religion. They don't likely think they are being oppressed, either. No their real goal is rather simple. They are enemies of Christianity exclusively....
My life walking away from religion - it may not be what you expect.
2011-03-02 05:29:00 This will be a tough point to argue and explain, I know, but that is not true. It is not - often even to my disappointment - about recklessly abandoning all moral rules and social morays. I am human, so I feel the same pull to life without rules or policing as anyone, but the reality is that, as an adult, my conscience is intact. Though there are moments I secretly wish I could have a torrid affair or go on a combination cross country crime spree and wild drug binge at combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurants in every state, I could never let myself do those things; religion or no religion.

?God? (Sathya Sai Baba) Blunders On! ? On History
2011-01-02 02:04:00 Sathya Sai Baba's blunders on history and science are big. For some science examples, see the articles cited at the foot of this page. Readers perturbed to see their friends, family or colleagues getting into the Sathya Sai Baba cult may consider - if the victims are not too far blinded - sharing such materials as highlighted in red, below. A great many educated people have learnt enough history to see what absurd nonsense is revealed in such claims of Sathya Sai Baba. Yet here is a man - of imperial wealth and vast sway over the minds of many, including those supposedly educated - who proclaims to the millions that he is all-knowing, all-seeing and all-powerful. And that he is the 'Avatar' (embodiment of God on earth) who will effectively transform the entire world in his own lifetime. Here is a man - and no god of any sort - at whose feet successive Indian Prime Ministers, Presidents and other eminences, across a wide religious and political spectrum, have repeatedly fallen...
