Strongly seconded.

Author: Dogmafood
Forum: Faith and Belief Thread: Morality without god Message: Message 87 Beautifully done: Dogmafood reminds us that our moral sense and behavior evolved when we lived in small groups, and our better history reflects an expansion of what we see as our tribal kin. Even our current political conflicts can be seen as a tense dialectic between those who wish to enlarge our sense of tribe, and those who do not. We were all kin then, and we're all kin now."If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you can collect a lot of heads."

Wow, my first nomination. I am truly flattered....and I suspect all flattery conceals some ulterior motive.
Cheers man.

A resounding second on that nomination.
CS and I have our differences, but some times he just hits one out of the park. This is one off those times.Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Forum: Coffee House Thread: Ann Coulter (Is she hateful?) Message: Message 1 I am really nominating the entire thread, particularly the posts by foreveryoung. Since I am supposed to single out a particular message, I am nominating the OP. This has been a fantastic parody of the thinking of social conservatives (even if unintentional). It brought great hilarity to the forum.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

I second the nomination. I feel that I understand foreveryoung much better now.
Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal and hasten the resurrection of the dead. William Lloyd Garrison. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass

I'm not certain this is quite in the spirit of the POTM process. Please, only sincere nominations for quality posts - not nominations for threads that made you laugh at your opponents.

I was very impressed with the logic, and with the clear and concise rationale for his position in this post by Stile in the thread - Where is the Point? Here is his post Message 24
He has told you, O man, what is good ; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8

I think the post speaks for itself, no need for me to elaborate.Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' ― Isaac Asimov "You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them" - Ray Bradbury
