Is Nick Clegg a hypocrite, a liar, and a coward?

The BBC reports that Nick Clegg, an atheist, raises his children as Catholics:

At face value, this means that Clegg is knowingly lying to his children. Instead, Clegg should be raising his children to think critically so that his children can make up their own minds and be armed to tackle the nonsense in this world.

Let’s be clear about this; I’m not condemning Clegg for sending his children to a Catholic school. I’m condemning him for raising his children as Catholics when he, himself, is a declared atheist. In particular, if the BBC report is true, what does this tell you of Clegg? That he is a hypocrite, a liar, and a coward, running away from making the hard choices.

Having just checked more online, it appears that Clegg’s hypocrisy and dishonesty on this subject is common knowledge. Not sure how I missed it all before. Perhaps Clegg misspoke or was misinterpreted about raising his children as Catholics?

Regardless, the injustices, brutality and immorality of religion are well known; Christianity/Catholicism, along with Islam, being particularly infamous:

Perhaps by exposure to these evils Clegg’s children will realise the true nature of religion. After all, his children will learn that the bible calls their father a liar, an antichrist, and that he will be damned to hell forever.

The ideas and arguments are well known but this video expresses these quite clearly.

Eric MacDonald on Mehdi Hassan and Richard Dawkins, and the need for rationality

Another thoughtful and insightful article from Eric MacDonald, this time on the reaction of Medhi Hasan after he had interviewed Richard Dawkins:

The problem is with Hasan himself, of course. He has bought into a superstition; the delusion this brings stops him from responding rationally. Further, it is clear from MacDonald’s article that Hasan is already well on the path of barbarity and injustice.

I will belittle Hasan and his irrationality for the same reason that I would belittle adults who claim that Santa Claus is real or who insist that there are fairies living at the bottom of the garden. But I would do so to a greater extent to Hasan due to the evil that will result from what he says.

Here’s a good talk on why it matters to challenge delusion and irrationality:

One of the evils of Hinduism

Most of my arguments and pot-shots against religion have concentrated on Christianity and Islam simply due to the level of exposure that these two religions have here. Other religions, of course, cannot escape from the exposure of their own injustice and barbarity. Here’s one article on Hinduism and the terrible caste system:

What can I say about Hinduism? Trash, unjust, evil, barbaric. Yup, this can be equally well to Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.

Buddhism is another on the list as its core beliefs are ingrained with injustice. But that’s a topic for another article.

Religion is a barrier to the understanding of the true nature of things

I was perusing the Discovery Magazine blogs and came across an article from Nov 2012 by Razib Khan which seeks to describe some of the tensions experienced between religion and science:

Within the framework of Western civilisation, past endeavours at seeking knowledge have, in large part, been motivated and instigated through religious inspiration. However, the religious increasingly did not like what was being found, and their early attempts to smother the truth were heavy handed, unjust and brutal. But these prohibitions on seeking and disseminating knowledge on the true nature of things were ultimately doomed to failure as the methodology for discovering truth matured into what we call science. Religion, today, has no part to play in the search for truth, be they of a scientific nature or of a moral nature.

Khan’s blog is quite interesting as it piques my interest in human origin, so I intend to spend a bit of time there catching up on all of his articles.

Steiner – Waldorf schools, founded on nonsense, superstition and the occult

Further to a recent post on Steiner Waldorf schools, Quackometer has posted a couple of articles on the obfuscation practised by those schools, and the results of the investigations by the BBC et al:

The education of our children should not be left in the hands of those steeped in nonsense, superstition and the occult. There is enough unreason already in this world without more sewage being poured over the impressionable and the vulnerable. The level of indoctrination practised by these schools does not appear to be as overt as those of other religious schools but the nature of the risks needs to be understood.

An extensive resource is here for those wanting to research more:

I, of course, have similar objections to other religious schools but the need to highlight the nature of the Steiner Waldorf schools required prioritising as not everyone is aware what these schools are all about.

Saudi Arabia, where scum rule

There is much junk, much nonsense and much evil within Saudi Arabia. Here’s one example:

Of course there are other countries and organisations that align themselves with Saudi Arabia’s policies and my initial feeling is one of detest. The article does mention some signs of hope and I am fully supportive of any initiatives that can bring in justice and expel evils.

There are non-believers in Saudi Arabia, but it isn’t easy:

Religion has abused and will continue to abuse whenever it is in a position to influence and weld power.
