Canadian cogitations about politics, social issues, and science. Vituperation optional.
Like all of our imaginary friends gods, Terence deserves a little respect as his way – the way of the honey-badger – can be the only true way to heaven. Cool Hard Logic examines the toxicity of religion and the spurious arguments that are used to defend adult’s imaginary friends.

LOL, the title alone made me giggle. I could SO worship a honey badger above most of what monotheistic humanity chooses to elevate to god-hood. But then, everyone knows I have a weakness for all things of the weasel clan….

I think a honey-badger, especially one named Terence would be a wonderful godhead. Following His wishes would be fairly easy…
Give no f*ucks, eat and be merry. :)

The fuckin right to “not be offended” has always driven me nuts. I like the idea of a continuum, and have long used it. All these religious accommodations we have in Canada to wear fundamentalist attire in public, to take up public spaces with various places of worship, to have these imaginary beings confer tax free status to their followers are all ridiculous, and it’s all in the name of some sham of “multiculturalism” which is more about a-culturalism. The Europeans are realising their mistakes… but it may be too late.
Canada should become a secular country.
–We need to dump Harper’s Office of Religious Freedom and replace it with an Office of Freedom FROM Religion.
–We need to dump “God” from our Charter or Rights and Freedoms, AND dump it from our national anthem.
We need action against religions of ALL origins.

Unfortunately, even with draconian measures it would still take many generations to snuff the toxic flame of religion from our society. I think Canada through its messy multiculturalism is slowly doing the job for us. People can dress and worship as they please, but against a backdrop of secular education, evidence based decision making and evidence based medicine.
We welcome people and their differences and within one or two generations they are more Canadian than anything else. More coercive means of inducing assimilation can smack of the religious sectarian violence that purport to stand against.

Unfortunately, I think we’re headed in the opposite direction. Past immigrants were much more willing to integrate into Western culture, and Canada’s culture (whatever tidbits are not USA culture). Now we are moving towards more immigration to keep wages low, to fuel the big profit machine, more religion, and the CONservative party has corrected its propaganda machine to ensure that conservative religious immigrants vote conservative. Once we reach the critical mass of born-again-Muslims heading over to participate in Jihads, we’ll finally understand that freedom “of” religion IS freedom to “jihad”. WE are letting fanatics set the agenda, instead of moderates, and the fundies will not miss that opportunity.
As a society, we either have a vision of a nation, or we don’t…. and letting outsiders set that vision makes no sense at all.
The natives let us in, and look what that got them. death.
We should not repeat European openness nor native openness. I’ve spent 40 years in a secular Canada, and only the past decade have I watched as religious fundamentalism gain more and more ground.
Receiving immigrants is not an obligation, it is a gift, and those who do not care for Canadian secular society, should frankly not be entering this country. I agree with what that politician mis-spoike on the interview the other day. “Want to live in a theocracy, go back to yours”…
