FACTS ARE SACRED » Modernrationalist

http://new.modernrationalist.com/2015/07/facts-are-sacred

As is so often the case, what got Ms Dreger into trouble was sex. A historian of science and medicine, she criticised a group of transgender activists who had attacked a sex researcher for his findings on why some people want to change gender. Having hounded the researcher mercilessly, the activists attacked Ms Dreger, too. It points toward the stars that confirmed his cosmology – and toward empiricism’s power to create a fairer, more rational society. For Galileo is famous not just becau...Ms Dreger bri...

CONVERSION GIMMICKS » Modernrationalist

http://new.modernrationalist.com/2015/01/conversion-gimmicks

Look at the scene of conversion in India. The Muslim rulers ruled India for a long time but they could not convert most of the citizens here; the British ruled India for the first time from Kashmir to Kanyakumari with enormous political strength and military power. They could not convert majority of the country. What does that indicate? You cannot convert people with merely money power or military power. What was then the driving force of those who converted to Islam and Christianity in India? Hellip;&#4...

http://new.modernrationalist.com/2015/01/universal-condemnation-of-caste-system

UNIVERSAL CONDEMNATION OF CASTE SYSTEM. From around the world there is criticism and disapproval against casteism, even though the middle class Indians are oblivious to caste-oriented discriminations. Casteism is illegal but is covertly practised in Indian society. Hence the battle against untouchability continues to be in day-to-day life. An American social worker Johanna Shafer feels that discrimination against Dalits is a serious violation of human rights. An American lady retired from the fashion ind...

Rational Atheist spotted the talent spark and paved for the voyage of ultra orthodox Vaishnavaite. Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan himself claimed that mathematical equations held no meaning for him unless it expressed the thought of God. He even went a step further and said that it was the goddess of Namagiri who appeared in his dreams and revealed those equations to him. Many of the Ramanujan’s equations are wondered at without even knowing about what he thought of them and where they came from.

Secularism and Secular Humanism. Secular has come a long way since its origins in the Latin saeculum, which connoted a fixed and substantial interval of time (similar to century). Later, the word came to denote temporal or earthly matters in contradistinction to the divine, and this is its principal meaning today. No identification or affiliation with any religious tradition;. Absence of supernatural religious beliefs;. Separation of religion from state/government;. More than 70 per cent of students who ...

TAMPERING WITH SCIENTIFIG TEMPER. Is scientific temper an attitude for both the public and the private domains or is it only for the public domain? Is it opposed to or can it co-exist with superstition? These are questions India must debate. Is it an attitude of being, for the whole person, or is it only a protocol for public activity? Is scientific temper opposed to superstition or can it cohabit easily with superstition? Is astrology a science or is it superstition? Is there a causal relation? Perhaps ...

The Origins and Principles of CASTE. Caste is an institution peculiar to India. Racial, social and occupational divisions of classes exist elsewhere, but they differ fundamentally from the peculiar social structure of India.
