They keep the "law" in Lord

  1. Meister Eckhart, a 13th century Christian mystic (I think, Catholic - he might have been excommunicated) - said:  “I ask God to rid me of God.”

  3. I am not an Atheist because belief in Atheism requires too much blind faith.  I am a temporary Agnostic, waiting until someone convinces me otherwise.

  4. If it weren’t sobering it would be funny how these harebrained schools feign as serious centers of enquiry and learning…

  5. Authoritarian societies need a belief system that relies on revealed truth and Natural Law. Appeals to an authority that can never be questioned are very handy when you’re trying to force people into self-destructive practices. You can find the same sort of thing in the eugenics fantasies of the fashionably libertarian think tank intellectuals who wrote The Bell Curve.

    Religion by itself doesn’t turn people into cretins. There are religious people who question and are as morally well-developed as one could reasonably ask. What does produce cretins are social systems where critical thinking is actively discouraged. Neoliberalism, with its market fundamentalists, does that too.

  6. Scary stuff, Mickey!  And all the scarier because the US of A might turn into a theocracy soon ... Let’s hope there’s an uprising before that happens, though!
