Rather than standing firm in their defense of liberal atheists who themselves stand firm in defensive of basic progressive values, some liberals are ready to toss them overboard. Atheists are told to sit down and shut up rather than speak out on science, evolution, or religious politics. What sorts of arguments do liberals use for helping conservatives purge politics of atheists?

Comments (0)PermalinkPeter LaBarbera: Your Family is Not a Real FamilySunday September 7, 2008Advocates of so-called "family values" tend to portray themselves as occupying the moral high ground, fighting to preserve the "family" against enemies that would destroy it. One potential problem with this is the fact that some of those "enemies" are families themselves. How can you defend family values by attacking families? The answer is easy: deny that they are "real" families in the first place.

Can we assert a superiority for a godless morality over traditional, theistic, and religious morality? Yes, I think that this is possible. Unfortunately, few people even acknowledge the existence of godless moral values, much less their significance.

Comments (4)PermalinkBrazil & Britain: Christians Censoring Images that "Hurt the Feelings of Believers"Saturday September 6, 2008

Original Poster:Library of Congress
When we hear about religious believers trying to use force to suppress words or images which offend their religious sensibilities or hurt their feelings, it's most often a case that involves Muslims. Christians, though, are equally capable of using censorship and oppression to ensure that no believers have to take the chance of stumbling across anything offensive. This is an attitude which crosses both religious and national boundaries. All that's required is the firm conviction that whatever you don't like must not be permitted to be available to anyone else. If they don't mind it or actually like it, it must be because they are ignorant or perverted; either way, their desires are of no account.
In Brazil, we have a case of Christians successfully getting a court to ban an issue of the Brazilian edition of Playboy — not because of the nudity, per se, but because of the appearance of a popular Brazilian actress semi-nude holding a rosary. In Britain, an art gallery is being taken to court and sued for a large amount of money because of a display of statues of popular cultural icons, each with erections. Alongside Mickey Mouse and E.T. showing off more than they did in any movie, there was also a statue of Jesus sporting a very obvious rod or staff.
