Into the Deep Water: Who Cares What You (or I) Believe?

http://intothedeepwater.blogspot.com/2013/05/who-cares-what-you-or-i-believe.html

Into the Deep Water. A new day is worth changing your parameters. Who Cares What You (or I) Believe? Thomas Jefferson once famously wrote in the section on religion of his Notes on the State of Virginia. 8220;it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.”. At its core, though, it is a call to live and let live, so long as what my neighbor does is not injurious. Less formally, there are those whose mission is to convert everyone...

Into the Deep Water: Baltimore and the Limits of Non-violence

http://intothedeepwater.blogspot.com/2015/04/baltimore-and-limits-of-non-violence.html

Into the Deep Water. A new day is worth changing your parameters. Baltimore and the Limits of Non-violence. When I think about Baltimore last night, and I see the usual pious calls for non-violence, I increasingly feel confused. I know we're supposed to embrace the paradigm of Martin Luther King, Jr., and preach non-violence, but any such call sounds hypocritical in view of the violence visited upon marginalized communities. King said that a riot is "the language of the unheard.". The police deployed in ...

Into the Deep Water: Darwin and Clio- A Persepective on History and Religion

http://intothedeepwater.blogspot.com/2009/07/darwin-and-clio-persepective-on-history.html

Into the Deep Water. A new day is worth changing your parameters. Darwin and Clio- A Persepective on History and Religion. When I ponder the study of history as a whole, I tend to think of fossils, representing the ancestry of the present. In more concrete terms, I think of hominid fossils, and it is during this period that the fossils begin to resemble the present. It is something akin to holding the skull of Homo sapiens at the moment he emerged from Africa and thinking: this is us. 2] Ibid., 815.

Into the Deep Water: Atheism and the Limits of Certitude

http://intothedeepwater.blogspot.com/2013/06/atheism-and-limits-of-certitude_4511.html

Into the Deep Water. A new day is worth changing your parameters. Atheism and the Limits of Certitude. In a previous post. I wanted to pick this thread up now because a number of discussions I have had, with both believers and non-believers, have convinced me that something important is going on and that this illuminates another way some atheists are acting like their more traditionally "religious" counterparts. It was also stimulated in part by an " atheist mythology. When one atheist suggests to anothe...

Into the Deep Water: Same-sex Marriage and the Incredible Shrinking Worldview

http://intothedeepwater.blogspot.com/2015/05/same-sex-marriage-and-incredible.html

Into the Deep Water. A new day is worth changing your parameters. Same-sex Marriage and the Incredible Shrinking Worldview. Decision two years ago. Two issues, equal protection of the laws and full faith and credit, are at issue. It is not my intent to make either argument here; I am foursquare behind the movement for same-sex marriage and think the religious arguments of opponents are silly. Believe what you will, this is a nation of laws—a secular. But there’s more. No Christian (or anyone el...What we...

Into the Deep Water: Jesus is Just Alright

http://intothedeepwater.blogspot.com/2014/09/jesus-is-just-alright.html

Into the Deep Water. A new day is worth changing your parameters. Jesus is Just Alright. In Umberto Eco's novel Foucault's Pendulum,. While Eco (and perhaps his narrator) presents this as fiction, it seems that there is a cadre of atheists who would find this explanation of Christianity's birth congenial, at least to judge by an article. In the official records of the Roman Empire. But this does not foreclose the possibility of Jesus' existence; it simply casts serious doubt on the claims made about him.

Into the Deep Water: On Rights, Part Two: Liberty, Society, and the Tyranny of the Individual

http://intothedeepwater.blogspot.com/2011/06/on-rights-part-two-liberty-society-and.html

Into the Deep Water. A new day is worth changing your parameters. On Rights, Part Two: Liberty, Society, and the Tyranny of the Individual. A little more than a year ago, when I had grander ambitions for what I might do with this platform, I tried to raise some questions. Abridge them and that they can. I have read online. In states where it made no difference, it should be noted). And my inner two-year old, who stamps his feet and takes his toys and goes home when he gets mad, finds it easy to under...
