Are There Any Artists Out There Reading This Blog?

The Council for Secular Humanism is sponsoring a Free Expression Cartoon Contest . The Council – publisher of Free Inquiry, the first major U. S. publication to republish a selection of the Danish cartoons – invites professional and amateur artists to submit their sharpest, cleverest, and most ingenious creations touching on that most sensitive subject: religion. (Though secular humanism is not a religion, cartoons about secular humanists and other activists who live without religion are welcome, too.)

Actually CSM, secular humanism is a religion according to SCOTUS. Like it or not, you are now are part of a religion. God is not required in order to be a religion. Hey, be grateful you are one of the protected. Start a church, take up an offering, give a message.

Your post from the White House website was pretty amusing. I was not aware Big O was actually the wizard behind that curtain. Perhaps next he will hand out a brain, a heart and some courage.

SCOTUS may consider secular humanism a religion - I do not. Be that as it may, I am not a secular humanist, although I can relate to their agenda. I am a proponent of secularism... but I don't really consider myself much of a humanist because, as my wife points out, it is hard to be a humanist if you don't like humans all that much (she likes to chide me, good christian gal that she is)

If you don't like humans all that much why are you so hot for this so-called healthcare reform?

csm said...

I like humans in abstract. I want them to prosper, but to leave me the fuck alone.

Wouldn't want to be csm's neighbor. He is the one throwing trash in the backyard and leaving poisoned-laced alpo for your dog!

csm said...

Oh no! I would never hurt a dog. I might put poison in your Alpo, Mike, but not your dog's! {grin}

I find it the heighth of hypocrisy for Obama to deride "fat cat" bankers when much of his record setting campaign war chest was paid for by these bankers.

csm said...

I find it more hypocritical that the administration employs ex-fat cat bankers (e.g. Geithner).

The way current campaign financing works, Bawdy, nobody could say anything about anybody because of the large donations required. So I don't see it...
