17 Sept 2019 New York Times, Faith-Based Clinics Aren't The Answer, by Andrea Grimes
'....Ms. Everett and Ms. Bravo are hellbent on seizing a political moment. Vice President Mike Pence, who was at the vanguard of the anti-abortion movement's early attempts to defund Planned Parenthood, is in a position to move federal barriers out of the way for these conservative Christian groups that say they can provide health care. Already, this administration has weakened federal protection against discrimination in health care, while instituting policies such as the domestic gag rule.

Moves like these make it clear that the administration's intent is for those who rely on Medicaid and other public programs to be forced to seek care from faith-based providers that are tasked with delivering services they not only have no experience providing, but that their leaders sometimes find morally repugnant. Those services could include hormonal contraception, treatments for sexually transmitted infections for unmarried people, and fertility and adoption counseling for L.G.B.T.Q people.'

State insurance plans for employees render a chaplain service redundant, and are a violation of the separation of church and state, another of the many in religion's attempt to "find other work":

22 Sept 2019 Wisconsin State Journal, AG: No Plans to End Program
'Kaul says it's part of wellness efforts for agency employees. Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul has no plans to end the department's chaplain program created under his Republican predecessor despite a lawsuit filed against the initiative. Kaul told the Wisconsin State Journal he views the chaplain program as an important component of the Department of Justice's wellness efforts for employees, downplaying concerns from a secular organization that the program is an unconstitutional violation of the separation between church and state and excludes atheists and non-believers from participating.

Kaul said the department has a range of secular wellness opportunities for those seeking them, and that the chaplain program is just one part of a multi-pronged approach to boosting employee well-being. Kaul said the department also offers a peer support program, which trains employees to identify the signs of someone in crisis and how to help someone who is considering suicide. DOJ employees can also take advantage of employee assistance programs provided to state workers who are experiencing personal and work-related issues.

"Having a broad officer wellness program that includes lots of options....is important," Kaul said. "Law enforcement officers and our division of criminal investigation around the state encounter some really difficult circumstances. We do not plan to immediately end the program." Just before he lost re-election last year, former Republican Attorney General Brad Schimel established the volunteer-based program in October to support DOJ employees who sometimes grapple with difficult issues on the job. Schimel's DOJ had worked for about a year on establishing the program Schimel said was a "critical component" of the DOJ.

The program quickly drew the ire of the Madison-based Freedom from Religion Foundation, a non-profit organization that advocates for the separation of church and state. The group filed a lawsuit against Schimel in November arguing the DOJ was violating the state and U.S. Constitutions. Foundation co-president Laurie Gaylor said she's surprised Kaul has vowed to keep the program for now, but that she's hopeful he'll change his mind upon further consideration. "We still remain hopeful that this program will be replaced with something that answers the real needs of DOJ employees that doesn't also endorse religion," Gaylor said.

Her group's lawsuit states the DOJ, through the chaplain program, actively promotes religion and "gives non-religious DOJ employees and their family members no option other than receiving counseling from religious clergy." While the program is volunteer-based, the lawsuit states the DOJ hired a paid chaplain program coordinator, and that the department also reimburses chaplains for reasonable expenses. The DOJ was not immediately able to provide details as to the amount of money it has provided in reimbursements.

Gaylor said the program is unnecessary because DOJ employees can seek mental health counseling through their state insurance plans.'

 

[badger2]

AG: No Plans to End Program, continued.

'The chaplain program, according to the lawsuit, does not require chaplains to have any mental health qualifications or professional licensing. The lawsuit also criticizes the fact all six chaplains originally appointed under the program "are all white males from Christian faiths." The lawsuit carried over to Kaul's DOJ, and the foundation has continued to call on him to end the program. Kaul hasn't done that, and the program currently features eight volunteer chaplains from Christian faiths, including one woman, according to the DOJ's website.

The lawsuit states DOJ volunteer chaplains "must be ordained or licensed clergy," and therefore "affirmatively excludes secular mental health professionals." "The program is inherently discriminatory, entirely unnecessary, and unconstitutionally promotes religion," foundation attorney Andrew Sidel wrote in an email. The foundation has argued government chaplain programs are legally permissible in a few limited circumstances, usually to lighten a government-imposed "burden" on religious exercise. The foundation argues that does not apply to the state DOJ. In 2007, that state of Indiana ended the first-ever chaplain program for state workers following a lawsuit filed by the foundation.'

'....John 3:16....'

'In a way you could say that the essential message of the Christian religion is put forth in John 3:16. Now, some of you may be familiar with this -- those of you who know the Bible, and/or others of you who just watch sporting events, especially football games, where often, when they kick the extra point after a touchdown, there is some fool sitting behind the goalpost with a crazy wig on his head, holding up a sign saying "John 3:16." [Laughter]

So let's talk about John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life" (or in the classical English rendition: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, so that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but shall have eternal life"). Let's dig more deeply into this -- what it is actually putting forward and what it is actually promoting. Let's go back to Genesis: once again, the myth of the fall of mankind, the treacherous role of woman n this, and the view of the nature and the fate of humanity that is put forward in Genesis (see in particular chapters 2 and 3 of Genesis). It would not have been necessary, according to the Bible, for God to make this great sacrifice (of giving his "only begotten son") if it weren't for the fact that human beings messed up in the Garden of Eden, and in particular that Eve seduced man -- Adam -- into doing the wrong thing and going against God's will. So, built into, or underlying, this very verse (John 3:16) that tells us how loving God is to humanity, is the notion that humanity is all screwed up -- that it is the very nature of humanity to do things wrong and to commit sin -- that mankind has a "fallen" nature, which, on its own, humanity can never change or get away from. That's the first point to keep in mind here.

But then, there is a second thing -- think about it: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son." Why a (son [italics])? And anyway, the idea is absurd. [Laughter] So what's the point of "only begotten Son?" Well, for (human beings [it.]) who live in a patriarchal society, giving up your son is one of the greatest sacrifices you can make, because in such a male-dominated society men count for more than women. So who cares about daughters? You can give them up to be raped -- and that's there in the Bible, too, for example in the story of how Lot is looked upon so favorably by God that Lot is spared when God destroys Sodom -- see Genesis, chapter 19). But a (son [it.]), that's a very different matter.

To bring out the point even more sharply, try thinking of the Bible saying, "For God so loved the world, that he gave up his only begotten daughter." It doesn't ring true, does it? [Laughter] It doesn't fir with the Bible -- because the Bible was written by human beings living in a patriarchal society who are reflecting that society in what they write and projecting an imaginary god into the heavens who makes this great sacrifice of giving up his "only begotten son," which is the greatest sacrifice that these humans can think of.

This takes us back to women and the fall of man. This is not only a pivotal and seminal story in the Bible's history of mankind's relation with God, but it is picked up and carried forward by Paul in the New testament. For example, in his first letter to Timothy, Paul repeats the notion of a curse on women, because of what Eve did in the Garden of Eden; but, says Paul, women can be saved by bearing children for their husbands and generally by having the "modest" qualities appropropriate to women, including that they are obedient to their husbands and subordinate to men in general.'
(Avakian, Away with All Gods, pp. 122-3, Religion, Patriarchy, Male Supremacy and Sexual Repression)

 

[badger2]

Avakian goes on to quote 1 Timothy:

'Let a woman learn in silence with full submission. I permit no woman to teach or have authority over a man; she is to keep silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing, provided they continue in faith and love and holiness, with modesty (1 Timothy 2:11-15)

So right there, we see two things that are essential components of Christianity and the "Judeo-Christian tradition": women are to be submissive in relation to men, and women's essential role is to bear children. Think of the terrible influence of that, and all the oppression and pain it has contributed to, through the centuries and down to today.'
(Avakian, op cit)

Freud's original circle had already concluded that the female who aligns herself with the christian trinity has two choices: to live a life of ecstatic melancholy or to think of herself as a male homosexual.

Putin, Revisited

'Political Firestorm. Judge Goodwin's ruling, joined by Judge Stephen Reinhardt, was eclipsed by the ensuing political firestorm. Goodwin strongly sided with Newdow, who had argued his own case that the words "under God" had a religious, not a secular purpose. "To say the United States," Goodwin writes, "is a nation 'under God' is a profession of a religious belief, namely a belief in monotheism, and therefore was an unconstitutional government endorsement of religion." The dissenting judge, Ferdinand Fernandez, appointed to the court by George W. Bush, offered what he described as judicial good sense, a worrisome warming that "to rule against 'God' in the pledge allows atheists like Newdow to put America on the slippery slope that would end by evicting religion from the American way of life and the triumph of religion itself." Those are his words.

When the appeal reached the Supreme Court on March 21, 2004, Newdow, a lawyer, again argued his own case. However, the justices never ruled on Newdow's claim that "under God" was an unconstitutional establishment of religion. On June 14, 2004, Flag Day again, exactly 50 years to the day after President Eisenhower had signed the legislation putting God into the pledge, the Supreme Court preserved God's place in it with a unanimous decision, which held that Newdow had no standing. The court made no elaborate argument. It made a procedural distinction, saying that it would not decide the case.
....
Reciting the Pledge of Allegiance is, as many of you know, the last ritualized act in the naturalization ceremony for new citizens, which makes it clear that affirming loyalty to America requires asserting a belief in God, even if God is so allied with the United States that the courts could see God as a secular figure. I repeat, it signifies that what defines an American is being a believer and that nonbelievers are unwelcome in the American political community.'

The title of the Novaya Gazeta article(post #73) is, "Metropolitan in the Metropolis: For What Merits Did the "ROC Foreign Minister" Receive Elite Real Estate in Spain from a Businessman with a Dubious Reputation?"

'....The fact that today in Spain, when it is one of the most prosperous countries, is widely sold by the Spaniards and bought in bulk by the Russians, is a very good signal to the whole world." These words were said by Patriarch Kirill on 8 Feb 2012 at a meeting with Vladimir Putin when he blessed him for a third term. That winter was remembered for a record surge in protests in Moscow and St. Petersburg, so the support of the Russian Orthodox Church was not superfluous for Putin. The passage about Spain was preceded by by the historical phrase of Kirill, which was included in the annals: "You, Vladimir Vladimirovich, personally played a huge role in correcting the curvature of our history."

I don't think it matters what religion these people are anymore. They leave the navel cord and afterbirth junk attached until it rots off the baby's belly button because it's just so cute, and they slice up the baby's private parts something awful. And those fucking rich-ass OB/GYN doctors lie and tell the news media that the babies are born addicted to opiates because in reality they're dealing strong painkillers to keep the babies from crying so hard from all the butchery and unnecessary surgery and liver failure due to all the bloodletting which they impose by a super-moral medico-jurisprudential authority over and above all law and all sound practice of medicine.
