Salvete!

Tag: uncategorized — Procrustes @ 9:16 am

Salvete amici et amicae!

Welcome to the State of Protest online Journal for Rational Activism!

State of Protest is dedicated to rational activism. What is rational activism? It’s the rejection of dogma, of ancient scriptural edict, of close-mindedness. It’s being reasonably skeptical about everything in life. It’s taking action to help others do the same.

Currently, State of Protest (”StOP”) is a group of rational-minded people who protest the status quo of the social and political taboo against questioning and challenging religion and other myopic influences on society and the government. StOP is working on an online journal (eventually to be published as a magazine), a book (or two), a podcast, and other activities that might help this twisted world become a bit more bearable.

You are currently viewing the online journal, where our posts range from insightful critical analysis to book reviews.

Note that our real names are protected for our own defense. We are not afraid of challenging religion, but we are certainly wary of the length at which religious zealots will go to interrupt and sometimes end the lives of people with whom they disagree. Let our authorship be evidence of our qualifications.

Note, though, that all work on this and affiliated State of Protest websites is Copyright © 2007, State of Protest, LLC.

Enjoy your stay, and please return for updates!

Quotables
"... I'd bet that, as an atheist, you must love it when big-name theists produce such rubbish?"
No, I don't love it. I hate it. I'm not in it to win, I'm in it to find the truth. *Everyone's* stupidity bugs me. -The Barefoot Bum
While you hold on to your wishful thinking about eternity, you are passing up everyday opportunities to fully immerse yourself in the very real life in which you find yourself. -Madame Zora
Frank: Name me something that is both measurable and supernatural.
Procrustes: The length to which some people would go to try to prove their god exists.
You challenge us to read the bible. Many of us have, and many of us have tried to teach others, just like you are, from that very bible. Then, we actually read the bible. And we actually thought about it, and life, and everything, and then reasoned instead of rationalized. I challenge you to do the same. -Procrustes
We rational activists look to make future better for humans, (not our post-mortem selves), and, in doing so, see the necessity to show others how important it is to deal with life rationally, so that life, itself, can be cherished and made better, not in anticipation of some fantastical afterlife, but in hopes that we and generations to follow will be able to live better, freer lives, out from under religious oppression and persecution. We look to the past to remind us of what happens when religions get the upper hand, and we motivate ourselves to communicate our thoughts to others in order to prevent future calamity. -Procrustes
