It’s an attack ad on Bobby Jindal, the Republican frontrunner for the office of governor in Louisiana, by the Democratic Party. It’s total bullshit. The article in question (available here for $1.50) is little more than Catholic Apology 101. The source of the cherry-picked phrases in an appropriate colour:
Sincerely motivated Christians studying the same texts have disagreed on the fundamentals of the faith, thereby dividing not only Protestants from Catholics, but also particular Protestant denominations from each other. Post-Reformation history does not reflect the unity and harmony of the “one flock” instituted by Christ (Jn. 10:16; see also Jn. 17:11, 17:21-23; Acts 4:32; Eph. 4:3-6, 4:13; Rom. 12:5, 16:17-18; 1 Cor. 1:10-11, 3:4, 12:12-13; Phil. 1:27, 2:2), but rather a scandalous series of divisions and new denominations, including some that can hardly be called Christian. Yet Christ would not have demanded unity without providing the necessary leadership to maintain it. The same Catholic Church which infallibly determined the canon of the Bible must be trusted to interpret her handiwork; the alternative is to trust individual Christians, burdened with, as Calvin termed it, their “utterly depraved” minds, to overcome their tendency to rationalize, their selfish desires, and other effects of original sin. The choice is between Catholicism’s authoritative Magisterium and subjective interpretation which leads to anarchy and heresy.
I have to agree with Jindal on this. His essay was distorted and distorted for the most despicable reason - bigotry. The south has a lot of problems. Hatred of religious minorities is one of them. Guess who’s the majority in the South? Protestants. The Democratic party ought to be ashamed of themselves.
1. The Humanist Symposium is open to atheists, agnostics, and freethinkers. Posts supporting or defending traditional, mainstream religions are ineligible. Posts written from the standpoint of a theistic but non-organized belief system (e.g., deism) are eligible at the host’s discretion, but should still follow the guidelines explained below for what type of entries we’re looking for.
2. The Humanist Symposium is not intended to be a forum for all types of atheistic thought, but original posts that specifically support the philosophy of humanism. Humanism is a way of thought that affirms the inherent dignity and worth of human life and our ability to seek truth, gain wisdom, and tell right from wrong through the application of reason. Submissions should touch on one or more of the following categories, or on topics similar to them:
The happiness and freedom of life as an atheist, or other positive aspects to living a life without religious belief
Efforts to evangelize for atheism, and stories of people who have recently deconverted from religion
How to find meaning and purpose in a godless life
How non-religious people deal with weddings, child-raising, deaths, and other significant life events
Posts that stir up the human sense of awe and wonder
The ethics and moral philosophy of the non-religious
How nonbelievers can foster and nourish a sense of community
In short, the purpose of the Humanist Symposium is not primarily to criticize religious beliefs or debunk the latest superstition, but to offer and discuss a positive alternative to belief systems based on the supernatural. If in doubt whether a post qualifies, submit it! You have nothing to lose by doing so.
3. There is no hard limit on the number of posts that should appear in each edition. The host is free to use their own discretion in deciding whether to accept a given submission.
4. You may submit one of your own posts or a post written by someone else.
5. No more than one post from the same author should appear in each edition. If there are multiple entries by the same author, the host may select any one of their choice. However, if one submission from a given site is by the author and one is by someone else, priority should be given to the author’s selection. In the case of a group blog, one entry per author is allowable, not just one entry per site.
6. Entries for a given edition should have been written recently, ideally since the last edition. Allowances may be made for particularly excellent older posts.
7. Entries should ideally be from a blog, i.e., a chronologically organized website that allows real-time user comments. However, occasional allowances may be made for humanist writing from other sources.
Amnesty International (AI) has confirmed that it has dropped it’s neutral policy in regards to abortion and now supports access to abortion services as a human right. The pro-”lifers” aren’t happy about it. In fact, the right reverend Michael Evans has resigned because it’s not right when a human rights group quits being [...]
I found this video over at Friendly Atheist and thought I’d share it. It’s a parody of “Gangster’s Paradise” (video) and the lyrics can be found in the info section on Youtube (just click in the center of the video):
It’s in response to an “atheist gangster” video challenge which includes one that sets [...]
