---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2000 21:59:13 +0100 From: "David Edwards" <david@awed.fsnet.co.uk> Subject: The Great Debate Message-ID: <006301c03946$4604fd80$52c3883e@oemcomputer> Dear Folks A couple of points on the great religion debate. First, if you believe in freedom of expression, then you believe in the freedom to express views you don't like: even Hitler was a big fan of the freedom to express views he liked. It's quite reasonable to argue that atheism is itself a kind of religion. It is, after all, often based on a kind of certainty about the fundamental nature and origin of the universe - both complete unknowns. It sometimes clearly rests on a version of faith. You could argue that this release from uncertainty is itself a kind of stress-relieving wishful thinking: there's nothing to worry about, just go out and have as much fun as possible while you can, or whatever. The tendency to dismissively reject other belief systems as primitive and obviously foolish - with our belief system the one final, reasonable (scientific) Truth - is also characteristic of the more fundamentalist religions. Traditional religions can be dangerous, but so can belief systems not normally associated with religion: Stalinism killed maybe 10 million, the Nazis 6 million. Our 'reaonsable', 'rational', science-based, 'liberal democracies' have brought the world to the edge of environmental catastrophe, and so on. You could also argue that the casual rejection of all 'spiritual issues' as 'bullshit' is just ideal from the point of view of corporate capitalism. As retailing analyst Victor Lebow noted: "Our enormously productive economy demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction, in consumption. We need things, consumed, burned up, worn out, replaced, and discarded at an ever increasing rate." The corporate capitalist system - which runs our economies, politics, schools, media - doesn't want us worrying about deeper issues; it wants us consuming, buying, producing: 'Just do it!' Thoreau put it well: "Every generation laughs at the old generation, but follows religiously the new." Sincerely David Edwards
------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2000 23:06:25 -0600 From: "Bob O'Bannon" <batchain@earthlink.net> Subject: Polanyi Message-ID: <200010190406.VAA25127@harrier.prod.itd.earthlink.net> Those of you convinced of the invincibility of science and "quantifiable evidence" should try reading Michael Polanyi's book "Personal Knowledge" to see how unscientific much of science has been. He shows quite thoroughly how faith and personal commitment play an integral part in all epistemological encounters -- not just in areas of religion. Here's a very small sample: "Modern man has set up as the ideal of knowledge the conception of natural science as a set of statements which is objective in the sense that its substance is entirely determined by observation, even while its presentation may be shaped by convention. This conception, stemming from a craving rooted in the very depths of our culture, would be shattered if the intuition of rationality in nature had to be acknowledged as a justifiable and indeed essential part of scientific theory." -- Polanyi, p. 16. If anyone wants to get my attention on this subject, email me personally, because I don't check this list very much. Sorry, no XTC content. Bob

Welcome to the 2nd Wonder Annual
Harvest XTC Parody Song Festival!
What The F**?????
A brief eggsplantation may be in order. Last year
a contest was held here. 'Hillers were invited to write
lyrics to A.V.V.1. that used Thanksgiving Day as the
theme.
Feathers flew! Gravy Stained! Cranberry Sauced!
And, I can tell by the Monarchs flying up my shorts,
it's that time of year again!
Here's how it works,
01. Wasp Star is the inspiration.
02. Happiness is the destination.
03. Anything to do with the Autumnal/Winter season is
fair game (excepting the interruption of the Finoid
mating season).
04. If it ain't funny or uplifting, YOU LOSE!
If you're still with me, let me
provide a totally lame example of what it is.
"Bitchin sleigh
(druma dump dump dum, druba dump dum dum)
Bitchin sleigh
(Rump buba dum dum, rump rump-arump dump!)
I've got a kick-ass,
Yes, it's a kick-ass,
BITCHIN SLEIGH!
Bea-atchin' sleigh!
With sub-woofers,
And a sun roof,
Pulled by Reindeer,
Thirty-two-oo hooves!
(If you don't count Mr.Dancer!)"
This should remove the 'Fool' factor!
So, you're all invited to contribute to the occasion,
(some of my best friends are Druidsh!)
Unlike last year, this is an *EXHIBITION* only! This is NOT!
a CONTEST! (residents of Ohio should consult their state's
Attorneys Generals)
And, there are a few rules.
All exhibitionists should expose them elves
on the 'Hill between Nov.1-15 (give or take a digest)
The exposed part should be at least one verse
and one chorus (extra credit will NOT be awarded to
grossly enlarged extensions!).
Employees of Mrs.Paul's,Gorton's,Fisher Boy,etc.
are of course barred from participation.
Unfortunately, prizes will not be awarded this year*
}---:)
*my lawyers said I have to call them 'Gifts' this year,
or spend some serious time in the...
"Big Bowl!"

probably every other mailing list)....
Some references have been changed to add XTC context.

A: 1,386 from the following breakdown:
1 to change the light bulb and to post a message that the light bulb has
been changed.
14 to share personal experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light
bulb could have been changed differently. (And what XTC songs should be
played.)
11 to cite references to light bulbs in XTC songs. (We're All Light,
anyone?)

17 to cite biblical references to light.
47 to question the existence of god.
205 to defend their religious convictions.

41 to correct facts in the fact-checking flames.
156 to write to the administrator complaining about the light bulb
discussion and its inappropriateness to this forum.
109 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this
exchange elsewhere.
111 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs
and therefore the posts **are** relevant.
306 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy
the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this
technique, and what brands are faulty.
22 to post favorite light-bulb jokes.
27 to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs.
14 to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly, and to post corrected
URLs.
3 to post about links they found from the URLs about other light bulbs
relevant to this forum.
7 to ask anyone to please re-post light-bulb URLs because they accidentally
deleted them.
33 to post messages saying "Me Too."
12 to post to the forum that they are unsubscribing because they cannot
handle the light bulb controversy.
19 to quote the "Me Too's" to say, "Me Three."
1 to propose a new XTC mailing list without light bulb discussions.
86 votes of agreement.

I owe an apology to Amy.
My post in #286 implied that all sides were equally guilty of reviving our
periodic bouts of unpleasantness over religion. Stupidly, I didn't carefully
review the origins of the debate, and failed to make the connection between
Jayne's very moving post about the loss of a relative, and Amy's tender and
humane offer of comfort in Jayne's sorrow.
It's particularly depressing that such an act of kindness should have been
the springboard to the boorishness that's been on display. The world is a
hard enough place; and expressions of contempt for the honestly held beliefs
of our fellow sufferers only makes it harder. I think people of goodwill on
all sides of the debate understand this. Wish everyone did.
I'm sorry you were subjected to all this, Amy, and I apologize for having
implied you were responsible for the topic's having arisen. An act of
tenderness is never unwelcome anywhere, ever, even (or perhaps *especially*)
in Anonymous Cyberspace, and I thank you for having offered it.

Deliriously!
May I once again point to the incredibly sublime "Harvest Festival," which as
far as I'm concerned is a perfect expression of Andy's "harmony of all that
exists" religiosity? Think of the conflation of carnal and religious love
that flows between the singer and the girl at the altar, all filtered through
exquisitely observed nostalgia for childhood and its as-yet undisappointed
possibilities. The mundane banality of the festival (itself a toothless echo
of ancient celebrations of fertility) is suffused by something that I think
Andy, if pressed, might call "God": The Longing Look.
I still can't listen to it without getting all squishy.

Beautifully stated, Dunks! Hits the ol' nail on the head. I recommend The
Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, by Julian
Jaynes.

This leads me to another recommendation, The Lost Gospel of Q, by Burton
Mack. It discusses the scholarly discovery of what would be an early source
book for the sayings of Christ, based strictly on Jesus's sayings in the
Gospels. It indicates that the sayings have three distinct historical
layers, showing that the proselytizing Jesus was a more recent add on as well
as the concept of Jesus as the Christ and Savior. These were added during
the zionist activities of the Roman / Jewish war circa 30 AD. The narrative
of the Gospels was brought in with the writing of the Gospels, beginning with
Mark some 70 - 80 years after Christ's death. Very eye opening.
>This is also true. I meant to type the name of Newton, who was a
>lifelong Christian...
Newton became a Unitarian. Unitarians are a radical Protestant offshoot,
favored by thinkers and intellectuals, based on the concept of the
unification of the trinity into one Godhead. They were heavily ostracized by
the theocratic Anglican institutions, and prevented Newton from advancing to
the top leadership of (of all places) Trinity College where he worked. A
real nice way to treat the world's leading scientist of the time. Good ol'
bicameral religion, just doin' it's thing!
Reminds me of a joke -
Did you hear about the trouble they're having with the Unitarians in New
England? Seems they were burning question marks on people's lawns...
Ok, ok, enough. I've had my rants. It's obvious that religion is a devisive
subject and I agree with Harrison that this sort of thing gets out of hand.
And thank you for making me aware of these yearly outbreaks; I'll be more
careful next time! I apologize for my straying. Dialogue never hurts, but
those of us who wish to indulge can do so off list. Thank you to those who
have mailed me off list regarding Castaneda, and I'd be more than happy to
