The blog against theocracy blogswarm -- Easter Weekend 2007
Posted by Beth on April 2, 2007
from guest blogger Blue Gal
So take your pick and write your post(s). Really, the wider variety of topics makes it all the more interesting. I can't wait to read what Pharyngula has to say about sound science, or what some of you will have to say about reproductive choice as it relates to church/state separation, or how a religionist blogger feels about their own freedom to worship and how that is compromised by state sponsored religion. (That's my topic, fwiw.) There is an interesting back and forth in Neural's comment thread involving yours truly...someone commented that it was hard for him "to imagine that religionists can separate church and state. Religion, no matter which flavor, is at the root of their belief system and subsequently their reality and expectations of the world around them." Part of my reply:
I really hope this blogswarm does more than just let the world know how we feel about the separation of Church and State. I hope it improves and awakens how we feel about each other. I may be a "believer" whatever the heck that means, but I can't have too many smart, funny, and fascinating, atheists, scientists, agnostics, GLBT bloggers, etc. etc. around here. Who did JESUS hang out with, anyway? I don't think if he were here today, Jesus would have a beer with some hypocritical preacherman, even if the preacherman was buying. MY God is Love, and Mind, and Truth. And this blogswarm is all about those. Tengrain of Mock, Paper, Scissors designed the amazing logo [above]... and is among the best. So is Neural Gourmet, who has turned this wee idea into a huge, huge movement. And Liz at I Speak of Dreams has also done an amazing job with logos. Use whichever you want. Thanks for participating. Blue Gal is a great friend of First Freedom First, and one of our best supporters. Be sure and add the following tag to your post(s) -- Technorati Tags:blog against theocracy The Jefferson Society | |
