In order to assure fairness and parity, and lest any group should feel excluded, each day of the week sacred to a particular religion should have a prayer germane to that faith and should contain some representative ceremonies celebrated by that religion. <BR/><BR/>The children of local Pagan and Wiccan groups (who consider every day of the week sacred) should be able to have a special area of the classroom sectioned off where they can offer incense and sacrifices of various animals and humans (where state law permits) sacred to the god (or goddess) of that particular day. <BR/><BR/>Since the Buddhists do not have a calendar based upon a traditional solar cycle, but utilize the moon for the appointment of sacred holidays and significant events, Moon’s day (or Monday) should be set aside for a twenty minute period of meditation. During this time, pupils should be ordered to empty their minds and not think of anything, an easy task for the students of most government schools. <BR/><BR/>Tuesday is the day that most cultures traditionally have dedicated to the War god, Mars. This would present an unparalleled opportunity for the students to contemplate our great nation and the offering of the sacrifice of the lives of so many to placate this fierce god. Military recruiters could pass out their propaganda at that time. Blood offerings (drawn from each student in advance by the school nurse) for this purpose may be offered up as part of this celebration.<BR/><BR/>Woden’s day (Wednesday) and Thor’s day (Thursday) could provide an unparalleled opportunity for some object history lessons concerning the lore and customs of the (superior) Nordic race. Perhaps members of the local Nazi Party could lead the services and Wagner selections might be played, followed by excursions into the surrounding neighborhoods for the purpose of rape, plunder and pillage. <BR/><BR/>Frigga’s day, Friday, or the day traditionally observed as the Muslim’s holy day would be celebrated by the students facing Mecca for prayers (five times in the day). <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately the two days when the children might be able to worship and pray to the Jewish deity (Saturn’s day, the traditional day sacred to the Hebrew god, JHWH) and the Man/god, Jesus (Son’s day, sacred to the Son or Sun god, or Jeshua ben Joseph) fall on the week end and will have to be honored in a manner chosen by the students themselves. Sorry, them’s the brakes. <BR/><BR/>Somehow I suspect such an equitable enforcement of such an ordinance may find few advocates among those of you who wish to make Christianity the official religion of Amerika and the world. I offer it only in the spirit of compromise and accommodation. After all we need some kind of religion in the schools, if only to give our students a chance to pray for health care, adequate funding for education and the survival of the public school system itself. Lots of luck! <BR/><BR/>Yours in Christ!<BR/><BR/>Bob BoldtAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424478.post-70171865859772677372007-10-18T00:39:00.000-05:002007-10-18T00:39:00.000-05:00I once heard Oliver Sachs say that one of the less...I once heard Oliver Sachs say that one of the lesser known and regarded aftereffects of amnesia is the inability to understand metaphor.

A superficial viewing of Christian television (such as the Steve and Kathy Show for example) and their attempts at being upbeat, contemporary and appealing to secular audiences is all that is necessary to confirm this hypothesis. <BR/><BR/>I think what is at the heart of this apparent defect is a lack of the ability to grasp any sense of metaphor, a quality that is present in most higher forms of humor. After all, if you insist on the literal interpretation of a Babylonian flood story, a not terribly creative creation myth, and a virgin birth as real, not metaphorical, it gives you a distinct handicap when trying to compose and understand anything beyond only the broadest, forms of loutish humor. <BR/><BR/>Of course the most obvious manifestation of this inability to grasp metaphor is found in the assertions of Biblical Science, or as I like to call it: BS.<BR/><BR/>Interesting blog …keep it up.<BR/><BR/>Bob BoldtAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424478.post-78453278097636347452007-10-15T19:51:00.000-05:002007-10-15T19:51:00.000-05:00I decided not to comment on this one.......wait a ...I decided not to comment on this one.......wait a minute I just did...shit.Aspentrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11679911093460636159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424478.post-19748236711803176532007-10-15T16:02:00.000-05:002007-10-15T16:02:00.000-05:00"Foxhole Atheist":Uhh . . .

He has posted under a variety of names, and his favorite was Emmanuel Goldstein. This character is out of <I> 1984 </I> and is the (possibly imaginary) leader of the resistance. We gave him the name "goldie". He also has posted under the name "atheists suck".<BR/><BR/>Goldie's favorite posting is the repetitious accusation that atheists are murderers--He chants the names Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot like a litany. He is no doubt defensive about the horrors, both in and out of the bible, of divinely-inspired brutality. <BR/><BR/>This bunker shit is a new one, but not surprising. He feels himself embattled against the atheist conspiracy, and needs to insult atheism's premier minds. As I remember, he kept reminding us that Nietszche went insane from syphilis.<BR/><BR/>About our responses: this screwball loves it.

So Bunker throws in this observation that ATHEIST is an anagram for EAT SHIT (something I'd never noticed before), and I got a good chuckle out of it.<BR/><BR/>I thot my fellow atheists would do likewise. Instead, somewhat to my consternation, they got all bristly and offended, just the same as a Xian would if you pointed out that the Virgin Mary was probably just some teenage girl who'd been messing around with her boyfriend Joe but was blessed with a quick wit and gullible parents.<BR/><BR/>It's a JOKE, people!<BR/><BR/>I think the best response was the poster who said that it was our secret code for telling the fundies what we thot of them.<BR/><BR/>My own modest effort at atheist evangelism is called "The Sacred Book of Kush", the size of a credit card but with everything the Bible has, including arrogance, stupidity, threats, promises, circular reasoning, jealousy, and sales pitches for the priesthood. It claims to have been revealed to Kush's prophet, one Rocko S. Fitch. Those who take the time to delve just a tad deeper will discover that the name is an anagram for "crock of shit". In just such a self-deprecating way do I choose to make fun of the original as well as of the parody.<BR/><BR/>If anyone wants me to e-mail to them a PDF file of the 1-page "Book of Kush", for purposes of reproduction and distribution to the fundies near you (including the ones who arrive unbidden at your doorstep) you may reach me at RichardSRussell@tds.net.Richard S.

Because it's not. If anything, your foaming-at-the-mouth reaction to it causes me to raise an eyebrow more than the fact that "EATSHIT" is an anagram for ATHEIST. One can rearrange any number of words to spell different things. This might be good for a chuckle, but your raving lunacy over a simple anagram is nothing short of frightening. It's an anagram, buddy; a jumble of words. if that's the best you have to offer in your counter to atheism, well, I'm just going to have to go ahead and not be intimidated.<BR/><BR/>One cannot spell CHRIST without "SHIT," as another posted pointed out. While the average Christians will no doubt find that insulting, hre are much better proofs against the existence of Jesus Christ than that. So much better proofs, in fact, that I actually feel a little bit silly for pointing out the anagram in the first place. But hey, if it gives you shits and giggles . . . 8srhugs* . . . good for you.
