Man tries to evict 98-year-old mom from Conn. home →
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Peter Kantorowski wanted his 98-year-old mother to move into a nursing home or live with him. She wouldn’t go; she didn’t want to leave her home of nearly 60 years.
Finally, Kantorowski went to court — and served his mother with an eviction notice shortly before her 98th birthday in December.

“The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because it’s only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world....

Can a people own a tradition? Hell yes. Traditions are those things that are transmitted through one’s culture inter-generationally. They are ancestral markers, the things one’s parents did and the things their parents did for generation after generation. You don’t get to claim a thing just because it’s bright and shiny and looks spiritual and you want it. These...

One of the alleged victims, Dan Smith, graphically detailed his incident with a local priest when he was a child.

The DOH: Does the ‘H’ Stand for Health or... →
Yesterday the Department of Health (DOH), the institution that is supposed to be raising the standards of health for Filipinos, caved in to an institution that is very adamant on lowering the standards of health for Filipinos: the CBCP. It seems that when the bishops say “jump,” the DOH asks “how high?”, instead of doing their job for the Filipino people […]

Bishop warns DOH on Feb. 14 condoms →
A Catholic bishop has appealed to the Department of Health (DOH) to refrain from handing out to couples free condoms and other forms of artificial contraceptives on Feb. 14 like what it did last year.

[Bishops] must respect the role of parents to decide how many children they can have, and can afford to take care of. No one is forcing Catholics to take contraceptives. It is a question of access, and hence, of justice.

egregores: Hinduism, Paganism, & Polytheism →
My point, explained.
All Indians who were not Parsis, Jews, Christians or Muslims, were automatically Hindus. So, the original definition of Hindu is: an Indian Pagan. Since the earliest use of the term Hindu in India, a clear definition has been given with it, and of every community it can easily be decided whether it fits that definition or not. It does not matter if you do not like the...
Arvind Sharma: Is Hinduism a Pagan Religion? →
Why do we need to be so apologetic to the children of Abraham again? We don’t. Besides, it is extremely inaccurate to say that Hinduism is monotheistic. Name me an historical strand of Hinduism that proclaims there is only one god and no other?
To put it simply, I quote: “Stop worrying about convincing the Abrahamics about the virtues of Hinduism. We do our own thing and if they...

It’s amazing how some women still fall for this bullshit. I salute all women (and men) who devote their lives to their families, and do so excellently, but that’s not all there is to being a woman. Now, more than ever, we should realise and affirm that women can also be excellent warriors, physicians, educators, leaders, and everything else men can be (other than being sperm donors).

Aldrin: Atheist temples, why and how? →
I think building atheist temples is particularly problematic because atheism doesn’t belong to any single culture (although many atheists, arguably, seem to engage in a particular cultural trend, “New Atheism”, but that’s another story). We know that atheists are found in virtually all cultures, and can really be anything from intellectuals to culturally illiterate...
