prop 8, minority rights & american democracy
on sexual intelligence:
opening line:
'democracy does not mean three wolves and lamb voting on what’s for dinner.'
good one.
read the entire piece here, which refers the 14th amendment of the u.s. constitution:
'no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the united states; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.'

'why can't i own canadians?'
a question asked in ernest:
'1. leviticus 25:44 states that i may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. a friend of mine claims that this applies to mexicans, but not canadians. can you clarify? why can't i own canadians?'
all ten, on betty dodson's blog.

can atheists have a code of sexual morality?
on sexual intelligence:
'every organized religion has highly specific answers to this question. they mostly involve “god doesn’t want you to do sex this way; god strongly prefers you do sex that way.” and if you disagree with god about your sexual expression, see rule #1.
organized religion typically imagines sexual “morality” as involving limitations. in most cases, the less sex you have the better god likes it; god, apparently, also wants you to limit the number of sexual partners with whom you do the right or wrong sexual acts.'
and
'grownup atheists don’t need to fear some metaphysical being in order to prefer doing what’s right—all clear-thinking adults prefer doing what’s right. and grownup atheists don’t need a one-size-fits-all menu of sexual acts. they know that doing only the sexual acts on god’s preferred list is no guarantee of moral decision-making or ethical behavior. and they have experienced the deep satisfaction of ethical decision-making while rockin’ the house with taboo sexual acts that would make seraphim and cherubim blush.'

greta christina on atheism and sexuality
i'm about halfway through this. it's long but highly interesting.
from the video description:
'the sexual morality of traditional religion tends to be based, not on solid ethical principles, but on a set of taboos about what kinds of sex god does and doesn't want people to have. and while the sex-positive community offers a more thoughtful view of sexual morality, it still often frames sexuality as positive by seeing it as a spiritual experience. what are some atheist alternatives to these views? how can atheists view sexual ethics without a belief in god? and how can atheists view sexual transcendence without a belief in the supernatural?'
