It isn't always easy, but there is reason to remain hopeful in the face of Christian Nationalism.

Signs on the entrance to playgrounds suggesting I 'respect the sabbath' only inspire a further respect for humanism. And a desire to be rid of a mythology that has been and is used to control others

”Instituting a blasphemy law in response to the actions of a few troubled and most likely hateful but law-abiding individuals is problematic and dangerous. Reversing laws that protect freedom of expression sends a terribly wrong message to the international and national communities. Nordic countries, with some of the most egalitarian and democratic systems, have been beacons of freedom throughout the world.” #humanism https://shuddhashar.com/danish-laws-against-quran-burning/

Christians are too hard on themselves. Most of them wouldn't run around murdering everyone if they stopped believing in gods. It is puzzling that some continue to claim otherwise.

I don't make a habit of dwelling on the death of individuals who did harm, but today for #OnlySky I have a meditation on how we process the death in general of prominent figures who did harm in their lives.

In this case, the "Joe" in question didn't actually represent the "average" US citizen well, but his fame came from a system that rewards people building a legacy on sowing division.

How do we move with greater dignity through the mess they leave behind?

My moral compass benefited more from watching Star Trek than it ever did from church.

Okay, #Trekkies.

Here's the last of the #SNW reviews for Season 2.

This was a challenging episode, because it definitely does what it's supposed to do as a cliffhanger of a season finale... but that also leaves open the question of whether it's done *enough*.

Hegemony isn't just a political state of being. Here, it also refers to the emotions - like fear of loss, or prejudice - that sometimes dominate and dictate our actions.

Can they be overcome?

"History of water" is one of the best books I've ever read. A complex view of the world was there all along for Europeans, but control of narrative brought eurocentrism (devouring Europe with religious, national and racial identitism). #history #humanism #identity #XVICentury

"Okay, here's the scenario. You are a crew member on a starship."
"Cool."
"Space travel is slow, you'll be stuck with your crewmates a long time."
"So we must get along."
"Yes. Communicate, listen, share limited resources."
"I can do that. What's the starship called?"
"Earth."
