The Pro-Blasphemy Position

Blasphemy is required to weed out people who would restrict our speech, not for fear of us insulting people, but for us questioning concepts.

Christian abuse of minors in communities

I've added the following paragraph to my text on the sexual abuse of minors by the Christian priesthood:

"The Peacock vs. the Ostrich: Monotheist Religions and Sex" by Vexen Crabtree (2008)

"The abuse has occurred in communities large and small, in private homes and in church. In 2008, the Pope apologized in person to President Bush about the extent of the child sex abuse in the Catholic Church, and the Canadian prime minister made an official apology to his indigenous population, because "between 1870 and 1996, an estimated 150,000 indigenous children were wrenched from their homes and sent to Christian boarding schools, where many were sexually and physically abused". Not even schools have been safe from the secret violence. The worst frequency of abuse has been when Christians themselves live with other Christians, as we will see:"

St Paul Was Converted to Christianity by a Seizure

New text on St. Paul: St Paul Was Converted to Christianity by a Seizure:

Saint Paul certainly had once an epileptoid, if not an epileptic seizure - "The Varieties of Religious Experience" by William James, p35.

William James, the well-known psychologist and author on the history of religion, is convinced that St Paul's vision of Christ (his only "contact" with Jesus, ever) was a seizure (ref: Acts 9:3-9). His claim is scientifically likely and has been made by scientists and doctors many times in history4. The prominent book on brain neurology, Neuroscience states that some people have a once-in-a-life seizure that can include visual hallucinations. In the general (non-epileptic) population, it occurs in 7 to 10 percent of people's lives5.
