J'accuse les autorités suisses De ne pas comprendre comment les adeptes de scientologie sont détruits psychiquement pour arriver à ne plus décider librement de leurs actes. De tolérer un mouvement qui vend une pseudo-thérapie qui présente des dangers pour la santé et de plus sans le moindre diplôme de médecine. De tolérer sur le territoire Suisse une organisation américaine qui diffuse des règlements criminogènes et qui possède une justice parallèle illégale qui l'autorise à édicter des fatwas à l'encontre de nos concitoyens. De dire aux victimes qu'il suffit de déposer une plainte pénale ! (Comment croire que des citoyens dépouillés et détruits psychiquement par un tel mouvement puissent arriver à faire condamner une telle entité ?

Since faith is often not based on evidence, however, it is hard to imagine how various deep philosophical or religious disagreements can be objectively laid to rest.
The Reason Rally may be over, but I have a feeling that the "spirit" of the event is going to live on among those who were there and those of us who they inspire. Could there possibly be a better reason to hold events like this? Greta Christina was clearly inspired by what she experienced at the Reason Rally, and she's come up with a simple but powerful suggestion for every one of us, whether we were able to attend the rally or not.

Jerry from VectorGeek made us some FSM money. Beautiful work! What should we do with it? My first thought is something like those propaganda tracts that when folded appear to be folded money but then you open it and see instead it’s a message how you can be saved .

A comment from Mike in the " Do Evangelicals 'Hate Jesus? '" post got me thinking. He winningly bemoans his use of doomsday statistics to build his case in sermons or lectures. His comment makes me wonder about the value of spending too much time thinking about allegedly "objective truth" at all. There's a certain treasonous quality to a pastor saying this.

If you’ve rejected traditional religion (or were never religious to start), you may be asking, “Is that all there is?” It’s liberating to recognize that supernatural beings are human creations … that there’s no such thing as “spirit” … that people are undesigned, unintended, and responsible for themselves. But what’s next? For many, mere atheism (the absence of belief in gods and the supernatural) or agnosticism (the view that such questions cannot be answered) aren’t enough. Atheism and agnosticism are silent on larger questions of values and meaning.
