“The people on the streets of Egypt and Tunisia and Libya and Syria and Iran have done more to defeat the ideology of Al Qaeda than anything that the United States has done. They have shown that there is a third way, that with peaceful protest you can have an end to dictatorship and a role for human dignity, a role for your religious faith in society.” PeopleWayHumansEndsStatesDoneReligiousUnitedRolesUnited StatesStreetsDignityThirdsDefeatPeacefulIdeologyProtestIranAlsDictatorshipSyriaEgyptReligious FaithAl QaedaHuman DignityLibyaPeaceful ProtestTunisia Author:Reza Aslan
“Nietzsche saw in the Protestant ethic, in both its religious and secular (economic) forms, a final protest before the emergence into dominance of the ordered, bourgeois world of the 'last man' he who will pay any price in tedium for comfort and the absence of tension.” MenWorldLastsFormReligiousPaySawsEconomicComfortEthicsFinalsAbsenceTensionProtestSecularBourgeoisProtestantsDominanceEmergenceTedium Book:Break-Out from the Crystal Palace: The Anarcho-Psychological Critique: Stirner, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky Source: Break-Out from the Crystal Palace: The Anarcho-Psychological Critique: Stirner, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky
“I am truly amazed that after all this time, religious groups still need to attack entertainment and use these tragedies as a pitiful excuse for their own self-serving publicity. In response to their protests, I will provide a show where I balance my songs with a wholesome Bible reading. This way, fans will not only hear my so-called, violent point of view, but we can also examine the virtues of wonderful 'Christian' stories of disease, murder, adultery, suicide and child sacrifice. Now that seems like 'entertainment' to me.” WayNeedsChildrenStillsSelfStoriesUseShowsSeemsChristianSongReadingReligiousViewsVirtueWonderfulSacrificeGroupsAtheismFansBalanceDiseaseTragedyMurderSuicideResponseEntertainmentExcusePositive AtheismPoint Of ViewViolentProtestServingAmazedAdulteryPublicityPitifulSelf ServingBible Reading Author:Marilyn Manson
“The world expects of Christians that they will raise their voices so loudly and clearly and so formulate their protest that not even the simplest man can have the slightest doubt about what they are saying. Further, the world expects of Christians that they will eschew all fuzzy abstractions and plant themselves squarely in front of the bloody face of history. We stand in need of folk who have determined to speak directly and unmistakably and come what may, to stand by what they have said.” MenWorldNeedsMaySaidChristianFacesSpeakVoiceReligiousDoubtFrontsRaisesPlantFolksDeterminedProtestBloodyAbstractionSimplestFuzzy Author:Albert Camus
