For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that's Moses, not Jesus. I haven't heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere. "Blessed are the merciful" in a courtroom? "Blessed are the peacemakers" in the Pentagon? Give me a break! ~ Kurt Vonnegut

"Thomas Jefferson taught that a democracy was impractical unless the people were educated. No matter how stringent the protections of the people might be in constitutions or common law, there would always be a temptation, Jefferson thought, for the powerful, the wealthy, and the unscrupulous to undermine the ideal of government run by and for ordinary citizens. The antidote is vigorous support for the expression of unpopular views, widespread literacy, substantive debate, a common familiarity with critical thinking, and skepticism of pronouncements of those in authorityβ€”which are all also central to the scientific method." β€” Carl Sagan

Why I Am Not a Christian ? β€œI say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world. You may think that I am going too far when I say that that is still so. I do not think that I am. You find as you look around the world that every single bit of progress of humane feeling, every improvement in the criminal law, every step toward the diminution of war, every step toward better treatment of the colored races, or every mitigation of slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been consistently opposed by the organized churches of the world.” β€” Bertrand Russell, Why I Am Not a Christian (1927).

Le gouvernement de la CAQ a autorisΓ© un chemin forestier qui a dΓ©truit en partie une Β«forΓͺt ancienneΒ» qui pourrait devenir une aire protΓ©gΓ©e dΓ¨s 2028. Une entreprise a ainsi pu aller faire des coupes dans un milieu naturel riche en biodiversitΓ©. ledevoir.com/actualites/envi…

Ireland's basic income pilot for artists worked so well they made it permanent. The economic growth it generated paid back more than its net cost, study shows. How many people are being held back from their potential because they're living bill-to-bill? UBI is true freedom.

Lorsqu'on a demandΓ© Γ  l'Γ©crivain russe Anton Tchekhov, quelle Γ©tait la nature des sociΓ©tΓ©s dΓ©faillantes, il a rΓ©pondu : "Dans les sociΓ©tΓ©s dΓ©faillantes, il y a mille sots pour chaque esprit Γ©clairΓ©, et mille paroles grossiΓ¨res pour chaque mot conscient. La majoritΓ© reste toujours ignorante, et l'homme raisonnable est constamment vaincu. Si vous voyez des sujets futiles dominer les discussions dans une sociΓ©tΓ©, et les sots occuper le devant de la scΓ¨ne, alors vous Γͺtes en prΓ©sence d'une sociΓ©tΓ© trΓ¨s dΓ©faillante."
