Humanist Thought of the Week: June 30 2009
The Tragedy of Michael Jackson
The recent death of Michael Jackson was a tragedy.
Despite all the weirdness: drug addiction, plastic surgery addiction, potential pedophilia and whatever else the man had going on, he was a very talented performer.

Keep
it in Your Pants
6/29/09
So... Mark Sanford. Up until last week, he had presidential aspirations.
That was up until his affair went public. I have to say, I like Sanford's wife.
She isn't standing by him. In fact, what apparently led to his disappearance
was that she had kicked him out over this affair. Good for her. But back to
Sanford and his aspirations. He should have thought before he acted. If you
want to be president, then don't have an affair. It's gonna come out. I guess
he just didn't want it badly enough. After all, it isn't that hard to not have
an affair. You just have to think before you act and decide not to do stupid
things that are going to ruin your long term plans. Ahhhh, but apparently he
is really in love with this woman. His emails to her are very romantic. Not
at all like Prince Charle's phone calls to Camilla or whatever Spitzer talked
about with his high power prostitute. On the plus side, he is in love with a
woman, which means his GOP base may forgive him even if his wife can't. Lesson
for the day, if you want to be president keep it in your pants and think about
the consequences of your actions before you act. If you are incapable of thinking
before you act and acting responsibly even when under duress, then you are not
qualified to be president.

Uncle
Tom's Compassion
6/22/09
Just finished reading Uncle Tom's Cabin. It is a tearjerker. Seriously.
I shed a lot of tears reading this book. It is not at all what I expected. The
characters are really deep. Not the caricatures I had been led to expect. I
would recommend this book to everyone. It is morally thought provoking. The
two main objectives of the book were to encourage people to abolish slavery
and to encourage people to practice an extremely Humanistic form of Christianity.
It is this view of Christianity and how strongly it resonated with me as an
Atheist and Humanist that really gave me a lot to think about. Write Comment (1 comments) |
