Quotes by Founding Fathers on religion

clipper's remarks: You be the judge.

Clip Source: www.intentblog.com

“…Of all the nonsense and delusion which had ever passed through the mind of man, none had ever been more extravagant than the notions of absolutions, indelible characters, uninterrupted successions, and the rest of those fantastical ideas derived from the canon law; which has thrown a glare of mystery, sanctity, reverence, and right reverend eminence and holiness around the idea of a priest such that no mortal could deserve.”...John Adams

“I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in our superstition, Christianity, one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded upon fables and myths.”...Thomas Jefferson

“The purpose of the separation of Church and State is to keep forever from these shores, the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe in blood for centuries.”...James Madison

“It will not do to investigate the subject of religion too closely, as it is apt to lead to infidelity.”...Abraham Lincoln

“I have seldom met an intelligent person whose views were not narrowed and distorted by religion.”...James Buchanan

“I know that human prejudice, especially growing out of religion, is cruelly inveterate and lasting.”...Grover Cleveland

“I suggest the taxation of Church property.”...Ulysses S. Grant.

“I believe in evolution…To this day, it surprises me that such a question can be raised.”...Woodrow Wilson

Atheists: Most hated group in America

Fri, 29 Dec 2006 20:51:53 GMT

clipped by: LGagnon
clipper's remarks: Religious bigots, as usual, are trying to find a scapegoat for their problems. It doesn't surprise me that history is repeating itself, especially in this country.

Clip Source: atheism.about.com

Every single study that has ever looked at the issue has revealed massive amounts of bigotry and prejudice against atheists in America. The most recent data shows that atheists are more distrusted and despised than any other minority and that an atheist is the least likely person that Americans would vote for in a presidential election. It's not just that atheists are hated, though, but also that atheists seem to represent everything about modernity which Americans dislike or fear.

This group does not at all agree with my vision of American society...

I would disapprove if my child wanted to marry a member of this group....

Although people may say that they consider atheists inferior because atheists don't believe that civil law should be defined according to some group's conception of what their god wants, I don't think that's the whole story. There are too many religious theists who also want civil law to be secular rather than religious. Instead, I think that a much better case can be made for the idea that atheists are being scapegoated the same way that Catholics and Jews once were: they are treated as social outsiders who create "moral and social disorder."

A 'living library'

Borrow a Muslim? A 'living library' to prick stereotypes

In 12 countries, people check out people for a 30-minute conversation to challenge their own prejudices.

London - It works like a conventional library. Tables and chairs are set out for study. Librarians bustle purposefully, staffing the checkout desk.

Except these aren't books on loan. They're people.

Welcome to the Living Library. Here, you borrow individuals who represent stereotypes that often are the target of prejudice or hatred.

At this east London library on a recent Saturday, there were 26 "books" available, including a Muslim, an immigrant, a transgender individual, a witch, and an Indian atheist.

Readers borrow them for half an hour, hear their narrative, question them, even pry a little, and – so the theory goes – break down some of their preconceptions and stop "judging the book by the cover."

Mary Seacole: Black British Heroine

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 07:02:32 GMT

clipped by: mickfinn
clipper's remarks: Mary Jane Grant was born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1805. Her father was a Scottish soldier, and her mother a Jamaican. Mary learned her nursing skills from her mother, who kept a boarding house for invalid soldiers. Although technically 'free', being of mixed race, Mary and her family had few civil rights - they could not vote, hold public office or enter the professions. In 1836, Mary married Edwin Seacole but the marriage was short-lived as he died in 1844.

Mary Jane Seacole

was a mixed-race British nurse

Seacole was taught herbal remedies and folk medicine by her mother

of a nomadic disposition, on hearing of the terrible conditions of the Crimean War and certain that her knowledge of tropical medicine would be of use, she travelled to London and volunteered as a nurse

Although an expert at dealing with cholera, her application to join Florence Nightingale's team was rejected

She then borrowed money to make the 4,000 mile journey alone

she distinguished herself, treating the wounded on the battlefield, on many occasions treating wounded soldiers from both sides while under fire

Following the cessation of hostilities in 1856 she found herself stranded and almost destitute, and was saved from penury by the Commander-in-Chief of the British Forces

Today she is noted not only for her bravery and medical skills but as "a woman who succeeded despite the racial prejudice of influential sections of Victorian society"

c.1850

Misogyny Is Pervasive

clipper's remarks: You do not beat or demean the ones you love.

Clip Source: www.theolympian.com

“How do we explain the oppression and brutalization of half the world’s populations by the other half, throughout history?” — Jack Holland in “Misogyny: The World’s Oldest Prejudice.”

The first time I witnessed violence against a woman, I was 17, living next door to a stock yard butcher, his wife and baby, on the South Side of Chicago.

“I hate you!” followed by the B-word, then flesh hitting flesh — the butcher was at it again. After entering their apartment, I managed to wrestle the meat cleaver from him.

When the cops arrived, I was accused of molesting his wife. And had she not spoken up, I would have gone to the notorious Cook County jail, for attempted rape — black teenager in a white couple’s apartment.

Loretta Francis’ study found that a woman is beaten every nine seconds in this country; more than three women are killed by their husbands or boyfriends daily. And then there’s trafficking.

The perspectives of Nietzsche

Clip Source: www.pitt.edu

Truth and Knowledge

There are no facts, only interpretations.

Enemies of truth.-- Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.

Linguistic danger to spiritual freedom.-- Every word is a prejudice.

Truth.-- No one now dies of fatal truths: there are too many antidotes to them.

Cause and effect: such a duality probably never exists; in truth we are confronted by a continuum out of which we isolate a couple of pieces, just as we perceive motion only as isolated points and then infer it without ever actually seeing it. The suddenness with which many effects stand out misleads us; actually, it is sudden only for us. In this moment of suddenness there are an infinite number of processes which elude us. An intellect that could see cause and effect as a continuum and a flux and not, as we do, in terms of an arbitrary division and dismemberment, would repudiate the concept of cause and effect and deny all conditionality.

Man Retires Rather Than Honor Senator Helms

Man retires rather than honor Helms

RALEIGH --

L.F. Eason III gave up the only job he'd ever had rather than lower a flag this week to honor former U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms.

Eason, a 29-year veteran of the state Department of Agriculture, instructed his staff at a small Raleigh lab not to fly the U.S. or N.C. flags at half staff Monday as called for in a directive to all state agencies by Gov. Mike Easley.

When a superior ordered the lab to follow the directive, Eason decided to retire rather than pay tribute to Helms.

“Regardless of any executive proclamation, I do not want the flags at the North Carolina Standards Laboratory flown at half staff to honor Jesse Helms any time this week,” Eason wrote

He told his staff that he did not think it was appropriate to honor Helms because of his “doctrine of negativity, hate and prejudice” and his opposition to civil rights bills and the federal Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

A Flawed Feminist Test

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 13:48:56 GMT

clipped by: debbyski
clipper's remarks: "As a possible first Madame President, Hillary is a flawed science experiment because you can’t take Bill out of the equation. Her story is wrapped up in her marriage, and her marriage is wrapped up in a series of unappetizing compromises, arrangements and dependencies."

Clip Source: www.nytimes.com

We’re not just in the most vertiginous election of our lives. We’re in another national seminar on gender and race that is teaching us about who we are as we figure out what we want America to be.

It’s not yet clear which prejudice will infect the presidential contest more — misogyny or racism.

Many women I talk to, even those who aren’t particularly fond of Hillary, feel empathy for her, knowing that any woman in a world dominated by men has to walk a tightrope between femininity and masculinity, strength and vulnerability.

They see double standards they hate — when male reporters described Hillary’s laugh as “a cackle” or her voice as “grating,” when Rush Limbaugh goes off on her wrinkles or when male pundits seem gleeful to write her political obituary. Several women I know, who argue with their husbands about Hillary, refer with a shudder to the “Kill the Witch” syndrome.

The Mission Statement That Changed The World

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 15:37:03 GMT

clipped by: Aribeth
clipper's remarks: His first response was one of anger.He was so angry that he wanted eye for eye justice. He wanted to respond violently to the people that humiliated him. But he stopped himself, and said ‘that’s not right.’ It was not going to bring him justice. It might make him feel good for the moment, but it wasn’t going to get him any justice.

From that point onward, he developed the philosophy of non-violence and practiced it in his life, as well as in his search for justice in South Africa. He ended up staying in that country for 22 years. And then he went and led the movement of India. And that movement ended up with an independent country, something that no one would have ever envisioned.”

The Mission Statement That Changed The World

“Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:
* I shall not fear anyone on Earth.
* I shall fear only God.
* I shall not bear ill will toward anyone.
* I shall not submit to injustice from anyone.
* I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering.”
- Mahatma Gandhi

Gandhi’s granddaughter

Arun Gandhi

about his life

“Ironically, if it hadn’t been for racism and prejudice, we may not have had a Gandhi. See, it was the challenge, the public need for the public victory that developed the private victory. He may have been just another successful lawyer who had made a lot of money. But, because of prejudice in South Africa, he was subjected to humiliation within a week of his arrival. He was thrown off a train because of the color of his skin. And it humiliated him so much that he sat on the platform of the station all night, wondering what he could do to gain justice.
