Anadarko fails to settle $25 billion Tronox lawsuit
(Reuters) - Anadarko Petroleum Corp (APC.N) has failed to settle a $25 billion lawsuit brought by paint materials company Tronox Inc (TROX.N), and as a result a trial will resume next week, a lawyer for Tronox said on Thursday.
Shares of Anadarko fell as much as 5.2 percent, then recovered to trade down less than 1 percent at $71.97 on the New York Stock Exchange. A settlement would have clarified the oil and gas company's ultimate responsibility to cover Tronox's environmental liabilities.
Tronox has claimed that when it was spun off in 2005 by Kerr-McGee Corp, which Anadarko later bought, it had been saddled with liabilities that led to its January 2009 bankruptcy filing. Tronox emerged from Chapter 11 in February 2011.
With the support of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Tronox also claims that Anadarko should pay for environmental cleanup at more than 2,000 polluted U.S. sites.
"There is no settlement agreement, and we are proceeding with trial on Tuesday," John Hueston, a partner at Irell & Manella representing Tronox and the United States, said in a telephone interview.
Hueston declined to comment on any settlement talks since at least July 12, when the nonjury trial was put on hold. He also declined to comment on whether talks would be scheduled.
Anadarko, based in The Woodlands, Texas, has argued that there was no fraud, and that Tronox's problems were linked to the U.S. housing slump and tight credit conditions.
John Christiansen, an Anadarko spokesman, said: "We remain committed to resolving the Tronox litigation through informal negotiations or other alternative dispute resolution mechanisms." He declined to discuss the status of such talks.
The trial in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan began in May.
Anadarko has set aside $525 million for a settlement, though analysts have said a payout could be several times higher.
"This outcome is modestly negative" for Anadarko stock, Eliecer Palacios, an energy analyst at Maxim Group LLC in New York, wrote in a research note. "The market was expecting a friendly negotiation over settlement."
Tronox is based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and makes titanium dioxide used in paints. It is seeking $15 billion of assets and $10 billion of interest from Anadarko.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Allan Gropper has been overseeing the trial, which is expected to run through August.
Tronox shares were up less than 1 percent at $119.90.
The case is In re: Tronox Inc, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, No. 09-10156.

The Xbox 360 doesn't offer the kind of mod support that PC players in their most moddable games, but Halo's Forge mode (first introduced in 2007's Halo 3) does enable an outlet for user-created content that is at least better than many other locked-down games.
Today, Gamespot is featuring a new trailer that showcases Forge Mode in the upcoming Halo 4, and details and demonstrates a bunch of new features that have been added this time around, including an ordinance system, palette selection, gravity volumes, and a stack of other interface tweaks to increase the user-friendliness of the whole thing.
Create beautiful maps almost by accident in Halo 4's overhauled Forge mode. Kynan Pearson and Lori Zawada walk us through the improvements to Forge.Check it out below.
Halo 4 is due on November 6th 2012, exclusive to Xbox 360.

The latest George Washington University Battleground poll, a national survey of likely voters, reveals that nearly four in 10 respondents say they would be "much more likely" to vote if marijuana legalization issues were on the ballot.

The Case for Hypothetical QuestionsBy John Dickerson, Slate Magazine
At the Nuclear Security Summit in The Hague on Monday, President Obama and other world leaders participated in a hypothetical exercise playing out what they would do if terrorists gained nuclear weapons.

3 Presidents and a Riddle Named PutinBy Peter Baker, The New York Times
Bill Clinton found him to be cold and worrisome, but predicted he would be a tough and able leader. George W. Bush wanted to make him a friend and partner in the war on terror, but grew disillusioned over time.
Barack Obama tried working around him by building up his protégé in the Kremlin, an approach that worked for a time but steadily deteriorated to the point that relations between Russia and the United States are now at their worst point since the end of the Cold War.Read more

On Ukraine, Ted Cruz isn't as Reaganesque as he seems to thinkBy Doyle McManus, Los Angeles Times
In my Sunday column, I described the division among leading Republicans over what policy to prescribe on Russia and Ukraine, a three-way split among hawks, realists and libertarians.
Then there's Ted Cruz, the firebrand tea-party senator from Texas. Where does he fit in?Read more

Obama Steps Up Sanctions Against RussiaBy Alexis Simendinger, Real Clear Politics
President Obama expanded U.S. sanctions against Russian individuals and a Russian bank Thursday, warning that the economic costs over time will prove painful to President Vladimir Putin and his allies if Russia escalates its military march into Ukraine.Read more

Obama enlists help to push Affordable Care ActBy Christi Parsons, Los Angeles Times

South Carolina considers ending ban on Election Day alcohol salesBy Reid Wilson, The Washington Post
Imagine the anguish of a staffer working for a losing campaign once the polls close. All those hours, all that work, for naught. That staffer sure could use a drink. But in South Carolina, the drink will have to wait. The Palmetto State is the only state in the country that still bans alcohol sales on Election Day.Read more
The Vanished Washington of Robert StraussBy Todd Purdum, Politico
"Last of his kind" is an overused phrase, but in the case of Robert S. Strauss, who died Wednesday at 95, it is apt. For his like will not pass Washington's way again, if only because the world that made him — and men like him — is also gone for good.Read more

Vladimir Putin Isn't Going to Sabotage the Iran Nuclear Talks Over CrimeaBy Michael Crowley, TIME Magazine
Could the crisis in Crimea spoil Barack Obama's nuclear diplomacy with Iran?
On Wednesday, a senior Russian diplomat suggested as much. Emerging from talks with five other powers and Iran over Tehran's nuclear program, Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov seemed to warn that Moscow might grow less cooperative in the effort to halt Iran's march toward a bomb.Read more
Tuned OutBy John Dickerson, Slate Magazine
As I watched the big television screen broadcasting the focus group taking place in Charlotte, N.C., I was tempted to tweet about it. This is the modern instinct. I don't just mean for reporters. Everyone seems to have a couple of screens open all the time. March Madness is about to begin, and Twitter will be stuffed full of contemporaneous commentary about the games being played. This was the topic of the focus group—the changing way we all use technology. The moment I opened TweetDeck, the focus group moderator was going around the conference room table asking earnest participants whether they had ever used Twitter while they were watching something else. Had I tweeted about that question, it would have been a tweet written while watching someone televised talking about tweeting while watching other media. A meta-turducken. If I had taken a selfie while doing it, I might have won some kind of MacArthur genius award.Read more

Doodle Power!
My ferocious appetite for doodling kicked in about ten years ago when I worked in a cube. (Technically more of a triangle…) Doodling while sitting in on seemingly endless conference calls, my focus and recall was always better than if I sat there and just "paid attention." My belief is that the benefits of doodling are similar to any other focused meditative practice; calming both to the mind and spirit.

Sandra Strait reviews the Clairefontaine Calligraphy pad
"I can't wait to try out a glass dip pen on it. I know the results will be beautiful, but I also anticipate a satisfaction in matching a beautiful paper to a beautiful pen, and capturing a sense of writing in a way as people have written for centuries. That creates a connection for me. Even though I'm a computer-fiend, I was a pen-and-paper fiend first, and the computer will never recreate that sense of connection. Or the feeling that not only am I creating a beautiful thing, but that the act of creating it is beautiful in itself. The action of making marks, moving pen across the page–these are artful things."
Life Imitates Doodles blogger and artist Sandra Strait is a favorite of ours for reviewing our products because of her willingness to be so very thorough. As an artist myself, I know how common it can be in the moment to want to use a variety of mixed mediums on a surface that isn't always intended to accept it. When anyone takes the time to test a wide variety of wet and dry mediums on an individual product, I find it incredibly helpful. In this review, Sandra tests this paper using pen and ink, fountain pen, rollerball, collage with glue and gel medium, acrylic paint, colored pencil, photo transfer, and finally, watercolor paint. You can read her full review which included loads of pictures, here.
Doodle Pads: What is your surface preference?
I am the type of person who will literally doodle on anything and everything because mark making is a necessary part of my human existence. When offered a preference, I'll take a paper with a slight tooth like the Clairefontaine Graf-It tablet shown above because I find it pleasant to use with just about any type of writing or drawing implement.
Do you have a preference for the paper you like to doodle on?
Art is a Learned Skill (Really!)
I've met a lot of adults who seem to believe that because they weren't born with a pencil or paintbrush in their hand that they have no business making art. To this I say, Hogwash!
Most young children are able to be creative without self-judgment. It's easy for them to make art because it's playful and fun. Things start to get a little tricky around the ages of 11-12 because this is when children desire to realistically reproduce what they see, and may become extremely frustrated when they cannot. Learning to draw realism typically requires additional instruction and a lot of practice which is why a lot of kids give up art in favor of other activities. This is why you, as an adult, may think that you have no talent for art because you draw like a child. In reality, all you need (regardless of age) is additional instruction. (and patience)
Having said all that, you really don't require any skills at all to express yourself through art. if you want to paint, buy paint and have at it because it's fun! In my experience, the most difficult part of making art is learning being okay with the results.
The Five Basic Skills of Drawing are good to know.

Geometric Doodles on a Rhodia Graph Pad
Charles – could this be one of your old graph pads?
Last week, Charles Barilleaux voiced his preference for our dot paper stating, "The grid doesn't work for me, as I wind up spending meetings filling in the squares."
Anyone else enjoy coloring in the squares like this?
(This image actually belongs to kaiser5081 on Instagram.)
Razor Sharp
My artist friend Angie Snyder-Lande uses a razor to sharpen her pencils and for some reason this always amazes me. A razor seems like a good idea, even though the potential exists to hack a pencil to bits until one learns the right amount of pressure to apply to each cut. I'm guessing that once you get the hang of it, a lot less of the pencil would be wasted to sharpening. (Where to dispose of the shavings… maybe a small Altoids tin?)
Do you prefer to sharpen with a knife or razor? Please share your process.
I own at least a dozen pencil sharpeners but can never find one when I need one. I'm wondering if a small pocketknife might be easier to keep track of.
Let's Talk Flat: NEW Landscape Webbie
The new landscape Webbie notebook both opens flat to the page and lies flat when you are leaning on it to write. To me, that's a pretty big deal because I don't like losing precious real estate in the fold.
How important it it to you that your notebook lie flat? Can you give specific examples of when it might be particularly necessary for the book to lie flat?
Opens flat: The paper needs no hand pressure for the pages to reveal a flat writing surface.
If you lean on the book as you write, the spine folds neatly upon itself.
Rhodia Cover Doodles: What does yours look like?
Rhodia fan Chris sent us this cover doodle with the suggestion that our logo should look like this. What do you think? I like it! Now I'm just trying to figure out what mountain this might be…
Perhaps Mont Blanc in the French Alps?
I'll be adding Chris's image to our Cover Doodle Fan Photo page. Have an image you'd like to share with us? Send it to me: Stephanie at RhodiaDrive dot com.
Orange on Orange
I've been noticing a lot of people experimenting with orange inks recently and have wondered what may be influencing this trend. Do you have a favorite orange ink? I'm partial to J. Herbin's Orange Indien and Diamine's Pumpkin.

How do you test a pencil?
I prefer hexagon shaped pencils sans eraser. I like the wood to sharpen cleanly and a lead that is slow to blunt for writing, I want the lead to erase cleanly with minimal effort.
For writing, I like an HB, B or 2B depending on the make of the pencil. Light sketching? 2H. I'm happy with a 2B for drawing & doodling. If I want dark, soft & smudgy, I use something in the range of 6B-9B. Overall, I prefer a certain amount of smooth regardless of the grade.
I think that the best way for me to test a pencil isn't a side by side chart like the one above but to actually spend time writing and drawing with a variety of pencils on a variety of papers. (any old excuse to keep buying more art/writing supplies) The ones that don't make the cut are banished to a coffee can in my studio for other people to use.
What particular features are important to you when selecting a wooden pencil for writing, drawing or doodling? What is your preferred method to compare one brand against another?
(#2 pencils are typically graded HB.)
Clairefontaine dot? Quo Vadis dot?
Other than the up and coming Clairefontaine dotGrid Graf-It pads, dot ruling is exclusive to Rhodia.
If you prefer Clairefontaine, Quo Vadis or Exacompta papers, would you like them even more if they were available with dot ruling? If yes, please tell us which specific product- including anything in the Rhodia line that isn't yet available in the dot format.

The Apple II dumb terminal
by Giles Turnbull
My O'Reilly colleague Paul Weinstein has put together a very neat Mac hardware hack: he's using an old Apple II machine as a terminal connected to a Mac mini. It's a great way to recycle a chunk of old tech that a lot of other people would just throw away.
From Paul's detailed write-up:
So virtual desktops is workable, but not perfect. What I need is the ability to off-load some of windows, ones that need to be visible even for a quick glance, as needed, an IRC conversation or the output of a running web process, for example. Taking a looking at the applications I depend on I see the beginnings of an idea. Terminal is an interesting application, a piece of software that's mimicking what use to be a hardware function. Why can't it be a hardware function again or at least why can't it be running on a dedicated piece of cheap, reliable hardware?
To re-create his hack you'll need a spare old-school Mac (hands up who's got one or more of those lying around gathering dust), and a handful of easily-obtained cables and connectors.

Professional and Effective
Greg Tsutaoka - Aug 15, 2014
My sports massage therapist, who is a US Olympic team soigneur, moved away so I decided to try Cynthia. She was professional and effective. On a comparable basis she was pretty close in effectiveness to the ART I was used to.
Truth in Advertisting
M.B. - Jun 18, 2014
Altered states really does alter the state of my body. Cynthia really excels at the deep-tissue work that I so love, and she has worked with me on everything from old back injury flare-up, to rock-hard tension in my shoulders, to throbbing sore wrists. Every session has left a palpable impact on me in an incredibly positive way...I'm very very grateful for her work...I don't even live in the Bay Area, but I look forward to coming thru here partially so I can have some quality time w/ her!
Chynthia Mealy, Altered States

With its powerful processor, great camera, decent screen and gorgeous, waterproof design, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is the best small Android phone around.

Now here's Gemma who could write her own ticket here at XLGirls.com but she rarely models, and we do mean rarely. That's why this pictorial has so many pictures! An English model, Gemma has only modeled for The SCORE Group. She'd done it as a lark and has never seemed to be interested in building a modeling career. The T&A Man's loss, for sure. She keeps a low profile, but there's a funny story about Gemma that appeared in one of the British tabloids several years ago. According to the reporter of the article, one of the actors from the TV show EastEnders apparently saw Gemma's pictures and went ga-ga, becoming obsessed. He sent her numerous emails trying to persuade her to pose for a topless calendar and managed to communicate with her in a chat room. He tried to hook up with her, phoning numerous times for days and even knocked on her door wanting a threesome with Gemma and a boyfriend, all to no avail. Guess being a famous actor is still no guarantee of sexcess.

Student and teacher injured in US school shooting
Two people were injured at a shooting in a school in rural California, after a student opened fire during class.
A 16-year-old was wounded in the attack, and is in a critical but stable condition, according to police.
The student fired at another student but missed according to officials.
A teacher suffered minor head wounds in the attack, which took place as class started in Taft Union High School, in Kern, southern California.
The suspected shooter is a 16-year-old boy who has been taken into custody, according to police.
Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said the teacher tried to get other students in the class out of the door, before engaging the young gunman in conversation to distract him, and convinced him to put down the gun.
Taft Police Chief Ed Whiting said the quick actions of the teacher diffused what could have been a tragic event:
We really want to commend a teacher and campus supervisor who brought this to a fast resolution.
Congressman Kevin McCarthy paid tribute to the injured teacher:
The actions that the teacher took saved lives and protected many.
The shooting comes less than a month after a gunman massacred 20 children and six women at Sandy Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, before killing himself.

As news of the shooting spread through local media, frantic parents drove to the school to see their children. Dana Pryor, who has two children at the school, told The Bakersfield Californian:
I panicked. I wanted to puke and just get here.
Youngblood said there is usually an armed Taft Police Department officer on campus, but he was not there Thursday because he had been snowed in.
Hundreds of family members and locals from the nearby area descended on the school to tearfully wait for their children.
ABC News affiliate 23ABC News, said terrified students alerted them to the shooting as they hid inside the school.

Fine Sometimes Rain Chapter 02 – P07

Columbus, OH
I am going to be changing the way I tone Rita's hair because I've grown to dislike the sand texture. I think the first page of the new way will be next week on Wednesday.
So, I did it, I finally pulled together a Patreon page! Of course some of you may not be familiar with Patreon and may be wondering what it is. Basically Patreon is like a comics tip jar, where you can pledge anywhere from $1 to $100 or more per month to comics and their creators to help them, ya know, make a living and support themselves off of the art they post for free online, so they can continue to post their art online for free. What you get out of the deal is usually bonus content, access to comic pages early and lots of other great stuff aside from the warm fuzzy feeling you will get knowing you are helping out your favorite artists.
Now here's where I come in! I have a Patreon page where you can now help support my comics with monthly donations so maybe one day I might actually be able to make a living off of drawing comics. What you will get in return from me is not only the monthly comic pages you get (still for free), but also bonus content like planning sketches, comic thumbnails, pencils, inks…and a lot more depending on how much you donate. So if you can, please consider donating! I have a lot of cool behind the scenes stuff I can share with you and you can also help me reach my goals at becoming self sufficient off of my art alone!
Well, I finally gave in and made a Facebook page for Fine Sometimes Rain. You can check it out here: https://www.facebook.com/finesometimesraincomic If you like the comic please consider sauntering over there and giving me a like! Liking the page will also help spread the word about the comic which will be a big help! In the future I will also try to post updates there as well as on twitter and tumblr, HOWEVER, twitter really is the best way to keep track of important comics news since I use it daily.
After putting my ink progression video online, I've been wondering if there are any other videos or possibly tutorials people may be interested in. So, are there any other kinds of videos you might like to see about my work processes? Are there any specific areas you might like to see covered, or any short tutorials? If you have any requests or ideas please comment here!
If you are interested in seeing how I work, I just finished uploading a ink progression video for page 11 to my youtube channel. You can check out the video here: http://youtu.be/sulh_eJHjBc. It's actually a bit long because I didn't want to speed it up past 8x so you could actually see inking happen. I do share a few tips in there though for those of you who make it past the first couple minutes. >w<;
I wanted to make mention here that I opened up a comics shop on storenvy which you can check out here: http://genkigirl.storenvy.com/ or you can also access it through the link in the menubar right above the comic. I currently have all of my printed comics up in the shop right now as well as a couple prints. I will also be adding more prints and posters little by little as I have time.
The other thing I wanted to mention is I am curious as to whether any of you would be interested in a print version of Aura. Please let me know in the poll below or you can also just comment here.

Two amazing holidays are falling on the same day! You probably need a comfy sweater and some black jeans!
It's a movie date so you want to be one part dapper chic and one part snuggly! Maybe two parts snuggly.
I couldn't possibly go outside today. Not even to show off these drop crotch pants.
Get the perfect start to your super last minute Halloween costume!

Nike is one of the most successful manufacturers of athletic footwear and apparel in the world, competing with Reebok, L.A. Gear and Adidas, as well as with manufacturers of casual footwear. In recent years, the company has expanded into the apparel market, to lessen its dependence on the highly fickle athletic footwear market, and has also seen significant opportunity in the international arena. However, the company must now faces challenges which did not exist in this industry only a few years ago. The recent upheaval in financial markets in Asia (one of Nike's primary markets) has brought into question the company's ability to continue its global expansion plans. In addition, there is currently a worldwide glut of shoes, causing price and profit pressure throughout the industry. This research considers Nike's current strategic position with regard to Japan.
Japan is a densely populated island nation which boasts one of the strongest economies in today's global market. The country has a high literacy rate and a strong emphasis on the group rather than the individual. The group can be the family, company or country, but individual needs are traditionally subjugated to those of the group. Business relationships are critical to success in Japan as business is rarely conducted with individuals who are not personally known to the principals ("Background Notes," 1998, pp. 2, 5). As consumers, the Japanese have a high affinity for American

Man's body found outside Duluth retirement home
DULUTH, Minn. (AP) — The body of a 95-year-old man has been found outside a Duluth retirement home after a night of subzero temperatures.
A Duluth police spokesman says Clifford David Lindberg lived with his wife in the independent living area.
Officials believe Lindberg might have gone outside about 9:40 p.m. Tuesday. That's when electronic records show that a side door was opened. Tracks led out from the door to where Lindberg was found.

The woman who claims Justin Bieber fathered her child -- originally accused her ex-boyfriend of being the daddy to the very same baby last year ... this according to her ex-BF's grandmother.
TMZ spoke with Frances Lippe ... who tells us Mariah Yeater had been dating her grandson John Terranova in Las Vegas toward the end of high school.
Lippe says Yeater came to their home in December 2010 and told Terranova she was pregnant with his child. He insisted he did not get her pregnant.
The two got into an argument and police were called ... because Yeater allegedly broke a car window out of rage.
Later that day, according to the police report, Yeater returned to the home to work out a payment plan for the window ... and got into another altercation with Terranova ... and allegedly slapped John 3 separate times in the face with her open right hand.
Yeater was arrested and charged for battery. A court date has been set in Vegas.
Lippe tells us they never heard from Yeater again after the December altercation. 10 months later, Mariah surfaced ... now claiming Bieber is the father. JB says it just ain't true.
Mariah gave birth to a baby boy in San Diego on July 6 -- she did not list a father on the birth certificate.
We've made multiple calls to Yeater's attorneys -- so far, no response.
Terranova reiterated our story to the NY Post, saying Yeater originally tried to pin fatherhood on him. He added, "I know it's not Justin Bieber ... She just wants money. It's a scam."
Oh my, this is just the funniest thing! Who in their right mind would ever admit having sex with Justin Bieber?
Her lawyers were on HLN last night. They insisted they were filing in good faith and were confident of their client's truthfulness. When asked if she had taken a lie detector test there was an awkward silence until they came out with client confidentiality. It was pointed out to them that they are getting free publicity by taking on this case.
wow who would of thunk it - she's a violent gold digger
She's a whack-a-doodle doo!
I think this young lady has some mental issues going on with her. I thought this the first time I saw a picture of her.
Say it isn't so!!! I just heard that Selena Gomez broke up with J Biebs. Is this true can anyone tell me if this is just a rumor. I figured this would be big news and no one has commented on it yet.
Somebody would do her??
Another psycho groupie!
I dislike him, but I don't think he is the father. I have a feeling this girl is gonna be famous. Oh no, another crazy drama mama.
make the bitch take a dna test to see that justin is the father of the baby. besides she just wants $$$$$ from justin bieber
She was probs upset because her ex didn't claime te child out of rage.
Bieberz Canadian. How can he say ain't? Da ****
I am sure she is real bright, it asks for a signature, she prints it! Duh, Maybe she can't sign her name? Lil white trash hooker who give girls in this position a bad name. It is as bad as calling rape!
She doesnt even know who the dad is... she is a ho!
I actually think this girl is very good looking, albeit pierced. I still think it's possible he is the dad but who knows. I wonder if she has pics (cell phone) she seems to like the camera alot and maybe that's what the lawyers have seen?

The truth is that both religious revival and secularization are morally ambiguous processes. Both heal and destroy. We still desperately need a way of welcoming diversity that does not deteriorate into nihilism, and a sober recognition that neither religious nor secular movements are good or bad as such.And from the 3rd link:
I can understand the people who are encouraged by the worldwide revival of religion today. The victims of atheistic and antireligious regimes are just as dead as those of clericalist terror.
[It's a reaction to] not just the religious right, but any kind of religious institution or spokesman that is claiming more than religion can legitimately claim. I think humility ought to be one of the marks of any authentic religion. We don't see a whole lot of humility on the part of many religious people now, or religious institutions, and I think that evokes a kind of legitimate criticism. After all, if we are talking about God, we are talking about a reality that nobody can really define — the unfathomable, the unnamable.when in history have religious leaders not been "arrogant and pompous and crazy?"
Some religious faith is indifferent to evidence, but a lot of religious beliefs are based on weighing evidence the way a jury does. Do I believe this testimony? Is this source trustworthy? Where did these documents really come from? Has science actually disproved the possibility of miracles, or simply failed to observe one in the wild?My personal faith isn't evidence based, but thinking about it it was pretty narrow-minded of me to assume that it works that way for everyone. I do think that ultimately it comes down to a question of belief. You come to a conclusion after weighing evidence, but in the end the decision comes from what you think.
And like a jury, different people will come to different conclusions, but that doesn't mean that there has been no evidence presented.
When I meet somebody who says, "I don't believe in God," I say, "Describe the God you don't believe in. I probably don't believe in that God either."So much of what I hear from professed atheists, in terms of criticisms of religion, is so incomprehensibly far removed from my experience that it's maddeningly frustrating.
It's too bad [that some people can't believe in anything they can't prove], because they are going to run into a lot of things in life that they can't prove that they have got to deal with. I mean things like love, for example.Spoken like someone who doesn't quite understand that psychology and neuropsych and neuroscience exist. And that love is at somewhat measurable and will get more measurable as time goes on. And that it's still pretty fucking awesome.
I think of Richard Dawkins as the kind of Jerry Falwell of the atheists. In a way, he's a kind of fundamentalist. I will explain why. He takes the most narrow and the most legalistic side of religion and makes that religion, and then he's against it, whereas Jerry Fallwell takes the most legal and literalistic side, and he supports it. But in a way curiously they agree with each other....Pot, meet kettle. Kettle, meet pot.
An atheist seems to me a person who has searched out and thought about all the options and insists there isn't any God or anything like God, and I know that and no further evidence is going to change my mind.
sotonohito, I'd have been glad to have the discussion you suggested in the first paragraph, but the rest of your post tells me, clearly, that you're not actually interested in that discussion. It's quite obvious that you've already gone and made up your mind about what kind of "faith that a religious person has in their religion." Your entire argument is fallacious. Your view on religion is based on anecdotes and straw men.Please, can you try without the condescension dripping from every word?
You're a blind man asking me what a sunset is like, waiting to jump on me with criticisms based on what you know about optic nerves and inconsistencies based on what other sunset-observers have told you.
On more than one occasion we have heard a Japanese asked by a European traveller what his religion was,—whether Buddhist or Shinto,—and have been amused at his look of blank perplexity. He could not, for the life of him, make out what the enquirer was driving at. It is the established custom to present infants at the Shinto family temple one month after birth. It is equally customary to be buried by the Buddhist parish priest. The inhabitants of each district contribute to the festivals of both religions alike, without being aware of any inconsistency. They do not draw the hard and fast distinctions with which we are familiar.From the Meiji Constitution until 1945, Shinto was not considered a religion in Japan, except by a tiny minority of evangelical Shinto priests, one of whom went to the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago-- the Americans were oblivious that he was presenting a case that Shinto should be considered religious rather than merely appearing as a representative of that category that is so obviously ubiquitous around the world. Anyway, most people disagreed. They knew what religion was, but Shinto was not included. It was just that thing that they did. Here is what a Japanese Christian wrote in 1934, hardly a peaceful time in that military period:
[It] is true that the shrines of state Shinto are the monuments and tombs of men who have rendered conspicious service for the state. In this respect they differ not at all from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington and the Cenotaph in London.There's more-- there's actually several dozen pages more, and I'll present it all next spring in Minnesota if you'd like to attend.
