Quotes about religion in the news - Brief Article
Nick Martin quotes the Manitoba Human Rights Commission chairwoman as saying the Garden Valley School Division is creating "a poisoned environment" in its schools. He also quotes Janet Baldwin as saying "I gave them a little lecture on the code and indicated how that protects religion, including atheists." Let's get to the last, first. Atheism is not a religion. It is a philosophy but it's not a religion. Secondly, regarding what is stated as being a "poisoned environment", have her tell us what is poisonous about the following messages; If a man strike you on the left cheek, turn to him the right"; "Love thy neighbour as thyself"; "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Tell me, Ms. Baldwin, just what is "poisonous" about that?

Amish normally use steel wheels on buggies and farm equipment because a rubber cushion would separate them from the earth. "Amish are never to lose touch with the earth," [Tom Shachtman]'s book explains. An Amish minister arrived a short time later, one of the three men walking across the field. Can a person join an Amish community? It's rare, and Amish do not proselytize, he said. However, someone could join if his decision were based on doctrine and religion, and not just lifestyle. * A person is shunned if they have chosen to be baptized as an Amish and then don't abide by the Amish beliefs. You cannot be shunned if you have not been baptized. The Amish support shunning with several Biblical quotes, such as Matthew 18:15-17.
The story of woe for the Snow Lake couple whose truck was stolen is not newsworthy. Two quotes from the victim are so telling: "There doesn't seem to be any deterrent to stop these young people from doing it again," and "It's the first time I didn't put the club on." By the fact that he owns a club, he must know that his new truck is a target so the club is a way to stop these kids. Drivers need to take some responsibility for their cars. If you don't want it stolen, get a club or immobilizer and use them all the time. Ten seconds of action by this driver would have saved Winnipeggers another day of uninteresting, negative news on the front page.

There was a time when [Richard Dawkins] joined in debate with religious representatives, but he has since given up that practice, and he clearly documents his reasons why. And if you consider yourself to be a "religious" person, you may well shudder at the documentation of violence, abuse and attacks justified in the name of a religious definition of God. In the opening chapter he tells the story of a 12-year-old boy in Ohio who won the right in court to wear a T-shirt to school bearing the words, "Homosexuality is sin, Islam is a lie, abortion is murder. Some issues are just black and white." Even though the school tells him not to wear the shirt, he wins the legal right to wear it on the basis of the right to freedom of religion. What Dawkins is saying is that this privileging of reli...

The justification? Because the gospels were primarily concerned, as we must be, to show that Jesus was a "particularity" (grab a passing scientist to find out what that means), not just an outstanding man of his time. Dump both genealogies. Because the wise men brought three gifts, and because Ps 72:10 speaks about three kings presenting gifts to the messiah, the wise men and the kings have become interchangeable.
