Attempting to reform orthodox religion from within is a bit like giving medicine to the dead. All religious leaders know that to truly reform their faith is to kill it, not that I am against such an outcome, mind you! As I understand it, this woman could be legally divorced and could remarry without any concern of bigamy, other than how her orthodox religion viewed it. In western societies, one is free to join or leave a religion, or even to form a new one. Asking the state to intervene in a religion’s practices or beliefs just because one doesn’t like how they are affected (assuming no impact to one’s health or safety) is a bit like asking to change the rules of a game when you’re unhappy how it’s going. Just quit the damn game and walk away!

I can only imagine what it must feel like to be an ICU doctor or nurse in this pandemic. They’ve been caring for the sick and watching people die for almost 2 years now. Having to inform loved ones of the death of hundreds of thousands of victims, these healthcare professionals hoped (and even prayed) for a vaccine that could help prevent the spread of this virus. And so now that we have a vaccine that has been determined safe and effective, the pandemic continues, due to the refusal of millions of people to vaccinate themselves? I would be tempted to go on strike myself!

A pandemic is a public health issue, not a political one. To politicize a disease that has killed hundreds of thousands of individuals who, if asked, would rather not have died, is beyond reckless… it is immoral. I have lost people I have known to COVID, including a man who was in his early fifties and in good health, but was unvaccinated. The steps necessary to prevent the spread of this disease are fairly simple: get vaccinated and mask up. This advice comes to us not from politicians but from the medical community and health experts. And yet, a significant number of people, including politicians, appear to believe they know better than health experts and / or appear to lack any empathy for others. The anti-VAX crowd is willfully ignorant and the anti-maskers are willfully selfish. While draping themselves in the American flag and asserting their freedoms, these people never appear to take into account the cost of their actions, not only to themselves, but to others, should they contract the virus.

The demographic data is quite clear here, and the fissures are not closing. As was the case in the 2016 election, according to Pew Research, differences in educational level and race provided the same stark dividing lines in the 2020 election. The higher your educational level and the more pigmentation in your skin, the less likely you were to have voted for Donald Trump. That we are currently experiencing a culture war in this country that pits science against anti-science, education against ignorance, tolerance against inclusion and pluralism against homogeneity would be difficult enough. But it comes at a time when good science, engineering and ideas are more important than ever if we are to address the problems we face. While other nations surpass the US in scientific advancements, we’re in the midst of a class struggle of sorts—our own cultural revolution, the likes of which set China back by 50 years!

Why Nobody Should Be an Atheist [theapeiron.co.uk]

Too many fallacies in this brief article to address. Suffice to say, the burden of proof lies with the theist who claims that God exists, and thus far, the evidence presented has been insufficient to prove the existence of a deity, so I find God 'not guilty' of existing.

In my mind there are two separate issues.

p-nullifidian comments on Jul 6, 2021:

As a nullifidian (one who is without faith or religious belief), I tend to agree with you ... so I suppose I don't need to fuck myself. ;-) My de-conversion process from religious faith to no faith at all involved a way point or rest stop called Deism, the faith of my avatar, Thomas Paine. At some point I understood that all organized religions are the creations of human beings who acted on their own (i.e., without divine inspiration), and that all religions that have ever existed, including those today, are feckless at best, and immoral at worst. Paine believed that 'the Almighty' created the universe and all the laws that govern it, and then went on to other more important matters. A Deist doesn't accept that there is a 'personal god' who, on occasion, intervenes in human affairs. Deists thus reject reports of miracles, prophets, houses of worship and all self-anointed clergy. Paine said, "My own mind is my own church." I was fine with this position for a time, but soon realized that whether or not I believed in such a deity made no difference, and so the Deist god became just as irrelevant and nonexistent as the others.

I was a huge fan of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, early Genesis, Yes, Focus, Camel, Jethro Tull, and many more. In recent decades, I’ve encountered very few bands that invoke some of the best of what prog rock has to offer. IMO, notable exceptions of 21st century prog rock bands/projects/artists include Transatlantic, Frost* (Milliontown), OSI, Steven Wilson, Spock’s Beard and Pure Reason Revolution.
