Obama Support For 'Faith-Based' Program Is Disappointing,

Says Americans United

----------------------------------------------------------

It's dumb to reject evolution when all of science thinks the opposite,

and it's dumb to oppose sex education, as if knowledge was a sin.

....For too long now, the term "faith-based" has been synonymous with dumb. It's dumb to speak of Islam as if the terrorists are its true representatives (F. Graham). It's dumb to think the Holocaust was God's way of getting the Jews to return to Israel (Hagee) or that Catholics are not true Christians (Hagee, again) or that "Islam is an anti-Christ religion that intends through violence to conquer the world" (Parsley).

It's dumb to reject evolution when all of science thinks the opposite, and it's dumb to oppose sex education, as if knowledge was by itself a sin. It was beyond dumb for the Rev. Pat Robertson to predict a natural calamity for Orlando because of Disney World's policy regarding gay men and lesbians. Yet, the endorsement of such clergymen has been sought by virtually every Republican presidential candidate of our times. To pass this kind of muster is very disquieting. ..

HEY, AND WHAT ABOUT FAITH BASED RATIONALITY?

JEHOVAH WITNESSES

(The bible tells me so)

BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS

TRANSMIT DISEASES

------------------------

JULY 2, 2008 AT 9:38 AM

A couple, one a female with a 2 or 3 month old baby

in her arms,

came to our door. I cut them short

by telling them,

"I am sorry, but we are not interested."

The man said, "OK, have a good day".

I presume they were Jehovah Witnesses.

I think it is a shame to be carrying

around a 2 or 4 month baby

on a hot day like this,

while trying to sell their religion.

I am also convinced that

such a religious group is involved

in a criminal conspiracy

to abuse their children and not provide proper medical

attention to that unfortunate child

if and when she/he needs medical help

and will be denied a blood transfusion

even if it means the death of that child.

A Jehovah Witness once told me

about all the reasons why blood

transfusions are evil for humans,

proclaiming a large number of

diseases transmitted by blood transfusion.

It seems that saying,

"How do I know? ----- The bible tells me so",

is no longer enough of reason to follow

a harmful, anti human philosophy of life.

I would like to think there is hope

for a rational way of living

for those burdened with

outlandish religious beliefs.

UPDATE, at 10 AM

The same man with now a male partner

came to my neighbor's house and were

knocking on the door. I went out onto the porch

and told them that she was not home.

I asked the man if he were the same man

who came to my door with a woman and a small

child. He said yes, and the child is 2 and 1/2

months old. I told him that I thought it

might not be beneficial to be dragging a small child

around in the hot sun . I asked them if

they were Jehovah Witnesses, and they

told me that was so. I suggested to them

that they are using that child as a public relations

ploy to perhaps gain entrance to a receiving

audience. We all love to see young small

children, but I do not like to see them being

used in a hot sun. We went on to have

a short conversation . I expressed my thoughts

about their group involved in a criminal conspiracy

to abuse and neglect their children.

I also pointed out that at one time some religions

offered there daughter virgins at the age of 12 or so,

to be slaughtered on the altar of God,

and perhaps they did not follow the Bible

but they followed like them, words

passed down to them from supposedly

holy men, thousand of years ago.

One of the guys closed his eye lids like

he has heard this before, and I pointed out to

him his automatic reflex. That same guy said to me,

that if I knew anything about medical science

I would know that more and more of the

medical profession is coming to learn

that blood transfusions are not good for

people. I told him that what I knew about

medical science tells me that the vast

majority of blood transfusions are

beneficial and not harmful, and the only

group going around saying differently

is his, without supplying facts to substantiate

the claim. The other guy, perhaps the father

of the small child, said, if you don't believe

in the bible then we can not convince you.

I said to him, there are a lot of people

who do believe in the bible who

do not have the same interpretation

of how to treat their youngsters

as your group has.

But, you are right, that's why it is a waste

of time to talk to you people.

And I went back inside and closed the door.

Later it occurred to me, that there

are a lot of religions going around telling

people how they are doing bad and not

living according to the word of their Gods.

------ 911 was caused because America

turned away from

God. Gays make a deliberate sinful choice

to follow an evil life style. Those who do

not believe in God cannot enjoy the good

things of life, such as beautiful scenery,

symphonies, sunset and sunrises

as much as believers.

And yet, I never hear of a religion

criticizing a group for denying

blood transmissions to their children,

even in the face of death.

So, I come to the conclusion, that for the

religious who seem to want to run this nation,

it is ok to do whatever you want, as

long as you believe in God and have religion.

Perhaps that is why we have had Galileo imprisoned,

the crusaders raping and plundering,

the inquisition torturing and killing heretics,

Kane killing his brother Able,

Joshua swallowing a wale and living to

tell about,

a woman giving birth to a God,

by Osmosis from the third person of God,

and a bible that tells Muslims to

kill the non believers.

Anyway, I hope I have scored today a little

blow and point for humanity.

God knows, we have enough of religions

telling us we are sinners and blasphemers,

when in my consideration,

they foster the sinners and blasphemers.

--sincerely,

Today I was walking to my parked car at the Rite Aid Pharmacy. I had to walk
past another car and thought I saw the word Jesus. So I turned around and
walked back and saw the following bumper sticker:

" Do you think Jesus would own a gun and vote Republican?"

I was stunned. I have this to say about that sticker - Many brave men and
women took up arms and fought and defended this country from tyranny so
jerks like you can have a nice car and have the right to put such a stupid
bumper sticker on their car. I also hope that some night some guys high on

Bush, White House Push 'Faith-Based' Agenda Despite Mounting Record Of Misuse
Thursday, June 26, 2008

Administration Officials Steered Justice Department 'Faith-Based' Grant To Former White House Faith-Based Staffer

President George W. Bush’s “faith-based” initiative has been riddled with abuses and should be scrapped, not celebrated, according to Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

Today, the White House is sponsoring a national conference on “faith-based” social services, featuring a speech by Bush.

“The ‘faith-based’ initiative should be shut down, not celebrated,” said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, Americans United executive director. “Since day one, the Bush administration has misused the initiative to advance its political agenda and reward religious and political cronies.

“The initiative has undermined vital constitutional and civil rights safeguards,” said Lynn. “And it has been cynically manipulated for partisan ends. The ‘faith-based’ initiative has been a disaster of biblical proportions.”

The White House event comes in the same week as the latest revelation of dubious decisions surrounding the initiative.

Earlier this week, ABC News reported, “A former top official in the ....

'I Believe' License Plate

Religious Liberty Watchdog Group Says License Plate Violates Constitution By Giving Preference To Christianity

Americans United for Separation of Church and State today filed a lawsuit in federal district court on behalf of several religious leaders and a religious organization whose First Amendment rights are violated by South Carolina’s “I Believe” license plate.

The new plate features the words, “I Believe,” accompanied by a depiction of a large, bright-yellow Christian cross superimposed on a multicolored stained glass church window.

Plaintiffs in the case include four South Carolina clergy the Rev. Dr. Thomas A. Summers, Rabbi Sanford T. Marcus, the Rev. Dr. Robert M. Knight and the Rev. Dr. Neal Jones as well as the Hindu American Foundation.

The Summers v. Adams lawsuit charges that the Christian plate gives preferential government treatment to one faith. It asks the court to prevent South Carolina officials from producing the plates.

“The state has clearly given preferential treatment to Christianity with this license plate,” said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, Americans United executive director. “I can’t think of a more flagrant violation of the First Amendment’s promise of equal treatment for all faiths. I ....

Religious Right Organization Tries to Intimidate Professor; Shamelessly Misleads Its Own Supporters

(Amherst, New York) --The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) has recently boasted of a "victory" in protecting a college student's rights to religious freedom. In postings on its website and in a radio broadcast on June 4, 2008, the ACLJ has trumpeted the claim that a demand letter one of its staff attorneys sent to Suffolk County Community College prevented a Christian student from receiving a failing grade from a professor who wanted to penalize her because of her religious beliefs.

Nothing could be further from the truth. "The ACLJ's spurious claim of a legal 'victory' is just slightly less outrageous than its brazen attempt to intimidate a philosophy professor from doing his job—which is to get students to think critically," commented Ronald A. Lindsay, Executive Director of the Council of Secular Humanism, who has talked to the allegedly biased professor. "As far as I can tell," observed Lindsay, "the ACLJ's letter accomplished nothing other than providing an excuse for soliciting donations." ....

Holiday in Hellmouth

God may be dead,

but the question of why he permits suffering

lives on.

by James Wood

....A large proportion of life involves our refusing to put our ear to the mundane heart chamber, lest we die from hearing “the roar which lies on the other side of silence.” It is considered almost gauche to wave the flag of general suffering in other people’s faces, as Dostoyevsky does repeatedly in his novels, most famously in “The Brothers Karamazov,” when the rebellious Ivan confronts his pious brother Alyosha with a list of degradations, some of which Dostoyevsky had got from real accounts—Turkish soldiers tossing babies on their bayonets in front of the mothers, parents punishing their five-year-old girl for wetting her bed by locking her all night in a freezing outhouse and smearing her face with excrement.

For the lucky few, there is reason to hope that life will be a business of evenly rationed suffering: stern parents perhaps, a few humiliations at school, then a love affair or two gone wrong, maybe a marriage broken. Our parents will die, and farther off, ideally deferred, will come our own steady demise. Plenty of suffering for a life, certainly, but most of us subsist on the plausible expectation that fortune will draw a circle around that personal portion, and that the truly unbearable—murder, rape, dead children, torture, war—will remain outside the cordon. Norman Rush, in his novel “Mortals,” calls this “hellmouth”: “the opening up of the mouth of hell right in front of you, without warning, through no fault of your own.” Without warning, and yet always feared. Job, whom God places into hellmouth to test him, knew that paradox: “For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.”

Theologians and philosophers talk about “the problem of evil,” and the hygienic phrase itself bespeaks a certain distance from extreme suffering, the view from a life inside the charmed circle. They mean the classic difficulty of how we justify the ....

Protect Religious Liberty and Florida’s No Aid Provision

Stop a Scheme to Send Tax Dollars to Religious Organizations
Click here to take action now!

For the second day in a row, we need your help to protect church-state separation in Florida. Yesterday we asked you to contact the state Senate about a bill promoting creationism. Today we need your help again with the Florida Taxation and Budget Reform Commission (the TBRC). On Thursday, the TBRC will hold a final vote on a proposal, CP0020, which would amend the Florida Constitution to allow the state to fund houses of worship and pervasively sectarian organizations. TBRC proposals to amend the Constitution require two rounds of voting. In the first round, this proposal was approved by only one vote. On Thursday, the TBRC will vote on CP0020 for a second time and we have a real chance of reversing the initial outcome.

WE NEED YOU to urge several key Commissioners to oppose this proposal. If approved, these proposals would allow the state to start a faith-based initiative in Florida like the disastrous one we have at the federal level. And, the legislature could again pursue a state-wide voucher program. THIS IS OUR CHANCE to stop this irresponsible proposal before it moves any further. Please click here to take action NOW to tell the Commissioners that church-state separation is crucial to protecting religious liberties.

Seems hypocritical

On April 17, the lead headline was: "Pope blasts bishops over clergy sex scandal." I read that and was totally appalled that the pope could be so hypocritical.

The poster boy for the scandal was Bernard Cardinal Law of the Archdiocese of Boston. For years the incidents of abuse were swept under the rug. Offending priests were simply transferred to different parishes, only to offend again. This was done with the knowledge and complicity of Cardinal Law. When the scandal exploded, Cardinal Law was conveniently transferred to the Vatican to avoid any legal conse-

quences. I watched the ordination of Pope Benedict and who had a prominent role in the ceremony? None other than Bernard Cardinal Law!

For the pope to blast the bishops while Cardinal Law was transferred to the Vatican to avoid any legal consequences for his misdeeds is totally hypocritical.
