A Few Thoughts on “The Christmas Wars”

...those who believe the founding fathers were as strong to protect us “from” religion as to practice religion. Recently published efforts to force schools to teach children the truth of God and patriotism in WV schools creates real problems for me, but teaching them core values of honesty, honor, civility, and civic responsibility does not. There is no major religion that does not agree on these core values, even those who believe in no “prime mover...

How I Became a Communist?

...tians. They were men of” The Age of Enlightenment”. They were committed to religious freedom and tolerance, but I submit they were as committed to a person’s right to be free from religion as to believe a particular doctrine. Nevertheless, see below in the Preamble to the West Virginia Constitution the references to “Devine Providence” and “reliance on God.” If our Continental Congress, and our WV Legislature were so brilliant in preserving these...

Many Thoughts on 9-11-14

...sting “Jesus’ threat” of hell and damnation to non-believers. What kind of religion says, “Believe what I say, or die, or burn in everlasting hell.”? No religion of sanity or reason should attempt to spread itself through fear and ignorance. 9. I agree with the fellow I heard this week on NPR, a former Moslem, born into a radical Moslem family, sick of killing and hatred and now converted to the “true Jesus”. He explained that he has abandoned bel...

Hello 2012; An Avalanche of Change

...products of The Age of Enlightenment and of revolution, purport to support religious freedom and faith in science, but radical, or fundamental, religion, seems to be increasing all over the world. To me, it is cancerous that groups of people have faith in messiahs and prophets who they believe make them superior to other “faiths”. Such thought leads to be belief that they must proselytize or impose their beliefs on others. Right now, the worst see...

A 50 Year Retrospective

...anklin Graham would have you believe! Nor can government tax us to benefit religion. That’s why “One nation under God” is a violation of The Constitution and our freedom. Below are many, many resources for anyone who would like more information on the Colonial Williamsburg sites and some of my reading during the last five years. I am committed to writing and setting an example for our “modern world”. Let’s leave the tribes, conflict, violence, and...

...g two excellent, related, books concurrently. They are, “Fields of Blood – Religion and the History of Violence” by Karen Armstrong, and “A Troublesome Inheritance – Genes, Race, and Human History”, by Nicholas Wade. The authors agree on one thing. Mankind “evolved”. It is a scientific certainty that life on earth has been evolving for 3.8 billion years. That is an inconceivable span. Just the “blink of an eye” ago, 1627, the Calvinist Bishop Jame...

Perspectives on the Iranian Peace Deal and Human Conflict

...ajor religions. In fact, no culture develops without the myths and gods of religion. The major religions are intertwined with kings and governments, culture, and economics. And they have all of the flaws of humankind, greed, violence, lust, envy, rage, and stupidity. Most religions try to promote and teach empathy. All but a few promote violence. But, here is something I did not know. As of 1000 a.d., Jews were not hated in Europe or the Middle Ea...

I love both versions of True Grit, John Wayne’s and Jeff Bridges’. And, I am stunned to have my friend Siri tell me that there is another version, 1978, starring Warren Oates. That one can’t be as good, because I never perceived Oates as having true grit, but I digress. I know nothing of Mr. Oates, and will check him o...
