Why can't everyone just have their own beliefs?
A common objection to atheist activism is that atheists are attempting to disallow theists from having their beliefs. The atheist is often asked, "Why can't everyone just have their own beliefs?" Many theists assert that their beliefs are harmless, and, most of the time, they are indeed harmless. This objection arises due to a few misunderstandings:
- Atheists aren't attempting to ban theistic beliefs, per se. Most of the time, addressing theistic beliefs is a means of self-defense against actions of theists.
- Most of the time, the people who make this claim aren't the ones directly harming society. Atheists are generally addressing actions of the more extreme theists.
Limits of belief[edit]
While everyone necessarily has their own beliefs, not all beliefs are equally valid, nor do they equally reflect reality. An incorrect belief may occasionally be harmless, but it can also directly result in negative consequences. Pointing out the fallacious reasoning behind such beliefs need not be seen as "harsh" or "offensive". If someone is so insecure in his or her beliefs as to be unable to handle criticism, these beliefs probably lack a rational foundation.
Beliefs inform your actions, and if your beliefs are in error, your actions are more likely to be harmful in some way. While people obviously can hold whatever beliefs they want, it is healthier for society as a whole if those beliefs are accurate. If faith is the basis for one's beliefs and is what determines agency in the world, then we should strive to hold beliefs that are accurate.
Harm by religious belief[edit]
Some or all theistic beliefs are not harmless. At least some forms of religion are harmful to society. Other harms caused by religion include:
- God won't allow global warming, because he promised not to flood us again, thus sabotaging our efforts to stem the climate issue.
- God won't let us run out of resources - thus contributing to more destruction of the planet, and the avoidance of action that would better our condition.
- Son dies slowly as parents pray, in spite of having an easily treatable ailment.
- The Crusades, where religion prompted a group of Christian knights to slaughter anyone in the way of securing the holy land.
- The Spanish Inquisition, where draconian and barbaric measures were taken to ensure people stayed within the Catholic church.
- Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Bill, which is religion-driven legislation that would jail or put to death homosexuals.
- September 11, 2001, where faith-driven Islamic terrorists flew airplanes into the WTC, killing over 3000 people, over promises of martyrdom.
- Catholic Anti-contraceptive effforts, which leads to an increased spread of STDs in Africa, and thus death, because the Catholic church is opposed to contraception.
- The psychological damage that excessive fundamentalist indoctrination can do to one's ability to have intimate and professional relationships.
- The unfounded and paralyzing fear of hell for minor actions, such as critical thinking.
- The systematic deconstruction of science education in America.
- The brainwashing of children into thinking they are worthless sinners, which destroys their self esteem.
- Mother kills child during exorcism attempt
There are many arguments that religious belief is beneficial to society. It is difficult to determine if the benefits outweigh the harms, since there is some subjectivity in this debate.
Problem of casual theistic beliefs[edit]
- Main Article: Moderate religion legitimizes fundamentalism
Casual theists (such as liberal Christians) contribute indirectly to many of the atrocities above. Even though most theists aren't responsible for such atrocities, their presence helps to establish an environment sympathetic to religiously motivated actions likely to cause harm. Just as a damp basement is an environment more conducive to mold growth than a dry basement, a society infused with casual theistic belief is an environment more conducive to dangerous theistic actions than a society without religious beliefs.

Science Information Literacy
In response to the increasing call for information literacy instruction in colleges and universities, and the need to address this from the viewpoint of diverse disciplines, the STS Information Literacy Committee (STS-IL) decided to examine, review, and collect relevant science resources that can be used as part of information literacy instruction to science students and faculty. STS-IL chose the wiki format in clear-eyed recognition that no single person or committee can definitively capture the rapidly shifting list of excellent resources, and that those who avail themselves of this particular resource will almost inevitably ask the question, "Why didn't they include X?" Now you can add X yourself for the enlightenment of your colleagues! We welcome your additions.
STS-IL developed this site and manages it. Please contact Committee Co-Chairs Betsy Hopkins and Elizabeth Bermanfor more information.

|MLBPA/MLB News Release
Major League Baseball, the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) and the Boston Red Sox have announced a combined $600,000 donation to assist the victims and families affected by the bombing at this year's Boston Marathon. Major League Baseball and the MLBPA will donate a combined $500,000, and the Boston Red Sox will contribute $100,000 to One Fund Boston, established by Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick and Boston mayor Tom Menino to aid the people most affected by the tragic events that occurred on April 15. Contributions from Red Sox fans at Fenway Park for this weekend's series with the Kansas City Royals have lifted the total beyond $600,000.
Major League Baseball will encourage fans to donate to One Fund Boston throughout all national telecasts on FOX, ESPN, TBS and MLB Network and will promote the charity with signage behind home plate. MLB.com, RedSox.com, and MLBPlayers.com will also be promoting the Fund and accepting donations online. In addition, MLB licensee Brand 47 has produced caps featuring the B Strong logo with the Red Sox stylized B. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of the caps will be donated to One Fund Boston.
"Major League Baseball and all of our clubs stand alongside the Red Sox in extending our deepest condolences to the victims and the families who have been impacted by this senseless tragedy," said Baseball Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig. "All of us are grateful to the first responders, doctors, volunteers, city officials and the many who have been instrumental in helping save lives in this great American city. We commend the people of Boston on their remarkable strength and solidarity, and the national pastime is honored to contribute to the recovery."
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and families of the Boston Marathon bombing, and we also extend our heartfelt gratitude to federal, state and local law enforcement officials for their tireless efforts in tracking down the suspects in this senseless and tragic incident," stated MLBPA executive director Michael Weiner. "For generations, Boston and the entire Red Sox Nation have held a special place in the hearts of players, and in this time of need we are proud to join forces with the clubs in supporting One Fund Boston. We're confident that the events of the past week have made us all realize that regardless of who we root for, at the end of the day we're all on the same team."
"Baseball has become an integral part of the Patriot's Day celebrations here in Boston," said Red Sox principal owner John Henry. "When the game ends, many of the more than 37,000 fans walk from Fenway Park to the finish line to cheer the Marathon runners on Boylston Street. This tragedy directly affected many of our most ardent fans. We continue to send our sympathies to all who have felt the impact of these terribly sad events."
"We are grateful to the commissioner for his leadership and generosity," said Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner. "Baseball is a vital social institution with important community responsibilities and obligations. We look forward to working with Major League Baseball as we continue to offer support to the many who were affected but Monday's tragic events."

The basics of free agent compensation have been rehashed across the internet, however there are some more subtle things with the new CBA, that dramatically effect the draft, and especially draft strategy.
The Basics:
Qualifying Offers: A team can extend a qualifying offer to any of their free agents who have been with the team for the entire season equal to the average of the Top 125 salaries (in 2012 this was $13.3 million), the player had until Friday to accept that offer (just a one year contract) or reject it and become a free agent.
Free Agent Compensation: Any team that signs a player extended a qualifying offer forfeits their first round pick (if it is outside the Top 10) or their second round pick (if their first pick is within the Top 10). Their old team receives a pick at the end of the first round.
Where it Gets More Complicated:
The New Compensation Round: The first thing that is different is that the supplemental first round is gone. In 2012 there were 29 supplemental picks between the first and second round. The new compensation system reduces this number, every time a player is signed a draft pick is removed when a draft pick is added. The only way that additional picks will be added into the draft is if a team signs more than one free agent who declined a qualifying offer, in that case the team will forfeit their pick and each team who lost a free agent will receive a compensatory pick.
Following the free agent compensation picks will be six competitive balance picks that were selected in a lottery. These pick are tradeable between teams, but only during the regular season and a pick can only be traded once. After the second round an additional six competitive balance picks are awarded.
Not counting compensation picks for failing to sign a drafted player in the first three rounds (which are now protected for an additional year), there will be at most 20 added picks into the draft (this is contingent on a single team signing all of the free agents), but it is likely that there will be 12-15 additional picks in 2013, a dramatic decline from 2012. This means a second round pick is now more valuable, the second round pick obtained from Cincinnati used to select Dylan Cozens was pick #77, the Phillies second round pick this year is pick #52.
Draft Pools: Under the new CBA each team is award a draft pool to spend on their first ten rounds of picks (plus any over $100k spent on players after the 10th round). The draft pool while it can be spent to sign any player has a certain amount assigned to each pick. This means if a pick is forfeited due to compensation the pool amount assigned to it also is eliminated, additionally if a drafted player is not signed, the value associated with that pick is also removed from a team's draft pool. A team can exceed their pool by up to 5% of their total pool value and only incur a 75% tax on the overages, any over 5% causes the forfeiture of up to two future first round picks.
How This Affects the Phillies:
The Pick: The 16th overall pick is a valuable commodity but has attached risk. The player selected still must make it through the developmental process with enough actualized skills to contribute on the major league level. However, the player holds value as a commodity for trades and future moves to help the major league roster. The 16th pick of the 2012 draft was Lucas Giolito, who on tools alone would be the #1 prospect in the Phillies system, with his injury concerns he would still be a top 3 prospect in the system. The 16th pick does not always yield a superstar, but more often than not the player available will possess the raw tools to be a well above average major leaguer. The selected player's ceiling is likely close to that of the free agent being signed, however if that player comes up through the system the Phillies would have them at a much lower rate than the free agent and under club control for 6 years.
There is large inherent risk with each draft pick, more so than exists with a free agent with a larger sample size of data.
Additionally the pick could move up as high as #11 if the teams in front of the Phillies forfeit their pick (Mets, Mariners, Padres, Pirates, and Diamondbacks).
The Draft Pool: (All numbers are from the 2012 draft pick allotments, 2013 figures have not been released) For the 2013 draft the Phillies draft pool is $5,601,800, the allotment assigned to the #16 pick is $2,250,000. If the Phillies were to forfeit their pick in signing a free agent their total draft pool would drop to $3,351,800 to sign their first ten picks (rounds 2-10, with a pick in the third round for failure to sign Alec Rash).
With the pick the Phillies have a choice at #16, they can take a player who will be overslot and sign college seniors towards the end of the Top 10 rounds to save pool money, they can take a player at slot and continue on through the rounds with that strategy, or they could take a slightly lesser player (but still a solid first round talent or even a guy the Phillies rated higher but would sign for less such as the Astros and Correa in 2012) and save a couple hundred thousand dollars towards signing a better player with one of their later picks.
If the Phillies forfeit their pick it greatly reduces their ability to consider working any overslot moves later in the draft. The Phillies have been good at getting good talent for slot, but it would restrict their flexibility if a player falls that they did not think would be available. This is magnified by how much earlier the second round is, the Phillies second round pick #52, would previously have been in the supplemental first round, their two third round picks #89 and #96 are equivalent to previous second round picks.
Just thought I would get some discussion going on more than the superficial forfeiture of just a first round pick. It is more than just the player who could be select there, it has implications throughout the draft, especially without the means to make up for lost picks with either overslot spending or compensation picks from fringe players.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system. It is a chronic condition that can be disabling.
There are several types of MS:
- Relapsing-remitting MS —Symptoms suddenly reappear periodically. They last for a few weeks or months, then go back into remission (a period with no symptoms). Symptoms may get worse with each occurrence.
- Primary progressive MS —Symptoms gradually worsen after symptoms first appear. Relapses and remissions usually do not occur.
- Secondary progressive MS —After years of relapses and remissions, symptoms suddenly begin to progressively worsen.
- Progressive relapsing MS —Symptoms gradually worsen after symptoms first appear. One or more relapses may also occur.
The immune system normally attacks viruses or bacteria that should not be in the body. With MS, a problem with the immune system causes it to attack healthy nerves. In particular, MS attacks the nerve fibers in the brain, spinal cord, and the nerves of the eye. The exact cause of these immune problems is unknown.
The following may contribute to the development of MS:
- Viral or other infection
- Genetic factors (heredity)
- Environmental factors
- Breaking down of parts of the nervous system
Risk Factors
MS is more common in women and in people aged 15-50 years old. Other factors that may increase your chance of MS include:
- Exposure to certain viruses
- Family members who have MS or other autoimmune disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus
- Being of Northern European descent
- Growing up in a colder climate, as opposed to a tropical climate
- Having certain immune system genes
- Having inflammation of the optic nerve
- Having low vitamin D levels
- Smoking
Symptoms may range from mild to severe and may include:
- Numbness or tingling in the face or limbs
Impaired vision in one or both eyes, including:
- Blurred vision
- Double vision
- Loss of vision
- Eye pain
- Fatigue
- Lightheadedness
- Muscle stiffness
- Muscle spasms
- Muscle weakness
- Incoordination or falling
- Trouble walking or maintaining balance
- Weakness in one or more limbs
Bladder problems including:
- Urgency
- Hesitancy
- Incomplete emptying
- Incontinence
- Bowel problems, including constipation
- Sexual dysfunction
- Slurred speech
- Difficulty swallowing
- Forgetfulness, memory loss, and confusion
- Difficulty concentrating or solving problems
- Depression
Symptoms may worsen with:
Heat, including:
- Hot weather
- Hot baths or showers
- Fever
- Overexertion—intense physical activity
- Infection
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Tests may include:
- Blood tests—to rule out other diseases that may mimic MS
- MRI scan
- Lumbar puncture —to check the fluid around the brain and spinal cord, which may rule out other diseases
- Sensory evoked potentials—to record the electrical responses evoked after a sensory stimulus
- Visual evoked potential test —to look for problems in the brain that affect vision
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT)—to look at the retina and the optic nerve
There is no cure for MS, you can manage the disease with medication, lifestyle changes, and counseling. Treatment will help relieve symptoms, prevent relapses, delay disability, and slow disease progression. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
Medications can help slow progress, prevent new lesions, and manage symptoms.
Types of medications that can slow the progression of MS or prevent new lesions from developing include:
- Interferon betas
- Immunomodulators/immunosuppressives
Corticosteroids may be given to reduce inflammation during active phases. This may lessen the effects of the immune system on the nerve fibers and shorten the length of relapses.
Types of medications to help manage symptoms can include:
- Muscle relaxants—to reduce muscle spasms
- Potassium channel blockers—to help improve vision, motor skills, and relieve fatigue
- Botox injections —to reduce tremor and muscle tone
- Pain relievers
- Antidepressants
- Medications to help with bladder or bowel problems
Supportive Therapies
Other therapies may help relieve some physical and emotional symptoms of MS. Each therapy has unique benefits and potential side effects which may interfere with other therapies you are using. Work with your health care team to help find therapies that work best for you. Supportive therapies include:
- Regular moderate exercise with your doctor's permission—swimming may be especially beneficial
- Physical therapy to help maintain muscle strength and tone, dexterity, and walking ability
- Occupational therapy to help with assisted devices and daily living activities
- Speech and/or swallowing therapy
- Cognitive therapy to address specific neuropsychiatric problems
- Stress reduction techniques
Some alternative therapies that have shown some benefits for some include:
Talk to your doctor before you try any alternative therapies.
Psychological Therapies
Individual or group therapy will help you learn coping strategies for physical symptoms and emotional stress.
Avoiding Periods of Relapse
Some forms of MS have periods remissions that alternate with relapses. Take these steps to help you avoid relapses and worsening of symptoms:
- Adhere to the treatment plan you worked out with your doctor
- Get adequate rest
- Avoid hot weather
- Stay in air-conditioned places during periods of hot weather
- Avoid hot showers or baths
- Avoid overexertion and stress
Avoid infection by:
- Using proper hygiene, especially when washing your hands
- Staying away from people who are sick
- Thoroughly cooking food
- Practicing safe sex
- Quitting smoking —smoking may worsen MS, causing the condition to progress to a more severe form

Circadian rhythm refers to the body's biochemical sleep cycle. Here's a wikipedia entry that is not bad if you are interested.
All medical students and residents learn the hard way that staying up all night on call and being tied to a beeper is not good for one's general health or mental health. I still can't understand how you can sleep well with a beeper on... I never succeeded in doing anything more than catnap on call, but some people have the gift of quick and restful sleep. I am not one of these people.
The worst thing about Emergency Medicine has to be the nights. Whereas many physicians can kiss the overnight shift goodbye after residency we can not. To be sure, surgeons and some other medical subspecialists still have nights, but they can sleep, if the gods deign, between calls, and they never switch to a night schedule.
Coming up to a string of night shifts still provokes the fight or flight response in me. In the wee hours with ambulances rolling in and kids crying and drunks yelling and phones ringing one is hard-pressed to believe that it will ever end.
Add to this the quick switch back to a day schedule and our 'airline pilot' schedule (working about 15 shifts a month) looks less attractive. For me, it takes me two days to recover from two overnights, and more days to recover from three or four in a row.
It's like this. Start your workweek in Atlanta, for your third day of work catch a flight to London and work regular morning hours there for a couple of days, then fly back to Atlanta for some days off. Repeat.
Admittedly, some ER groups try hard to create some regularity in the docs schedule by staggering the shifts and moving them forward a few hours every few days, but there's just no good way to do this absent having a full time night doc or two.
To the goddess cirdadia... you are a douchebag.

Randall's Island Park is a unique and remarkable waterfront resource, located in the East River with views of the Queens, Bronx and Manhattan shorelines. New waterfront pathways run along the 4.5-mile shoreline, which includes almost 9 acres of restored salt marsh and freshwater wetlands. The Park also offers a track & field stadium, a golf center, a 20-court tennis center and dozens of new playing fields, as well as the Harlem River Event Site, home of Made Event's Electric Zoo, a three-day Labor Day weekend concert event at Randall's Island which draws local and international DJ artists and audience.
FLOW.13 – this year's third annual exhibition – will be open to the public every day from June-November, and will feature five new site-specific installations, all reflecting and encouraging interaction with the Park's history and environment. The five installations are located along the southern shoreline of Randall's Island Park.
FLOW is made possible through support from Made Event, proud producers of The Electric Zoo Festival, NYC's largest electronic dance music festival, held annually at Randall's Island Park.
The FLOW exhibitions express the confluence of art, music and environment at Randall's Island Park, in the midst of one of the world's greatest cities.

Sounds like we have so much in common. I'm hoping that my next post will be about balancing parenting and working when you run your own business from home. What balance?... It's all meshed together for me.
I'd love to quote you for this one, if you're game.

Remember i-Mate from the Windows Mobile days? They made the rugged Windows Mobile hand-set that could survive just about anything. Now it appears that the company is working to produce a Windows 8 Phone.
No... not a Windows Phone 8 device, but a phone running Windows 8.
Rumors have the company introducing a 4.7" device running Windows 8 Pro at Mobile World Congress 2013. The device will be powered by an Atom processor, 2GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, and work with HSPA+ and LTE 4G wireless networks.
The Windows 8 Phone will have an optional docking station and wired handset that is dubbed the "hub". When docked the handset can act as a traditional desktop phone and make video calls. The "hub" also comes with a 23" touch screen display, keyboard and mouse allowing it to function as a desktop PC. There is also an auxiliary 10.1" wireless tablet.
Cost? $750 for the phone itself and $1,600 for the phone and "hub". And no, we don't know if it can be dipped in ketchup and survive.
i-Mate never really took off here in the States but has grown into a major phone producer in the U.K. and Dubai. It is our understanding that i-Mate is planning to unveil this new Windows 8 Phone this week in Barcelona. For now we'll sit squarely on the fence with this one and keep the Rum o'meter at five until Dan can dig up some more details tomorrow at Mobile World Congress.
So... what do you think? Could a Windows 8 Phone have a niche in the market? Or is this a concept phone that will have trouble making it off the ground?

Fall Escape to Mackinac
Autumn on the straits
After Labor Day, crowds at this Michigan hot spot melt into a trickle of a few hundred daily visitors. Northern days get chilly here—sweatshirts and shorts weather, really. But they reveal a quieter version of the area's famed lakes, bike trails, historic parks and restaurants. Value adds up this time of year, too, with hotel rates dropping 15 percent or more.
Browse our slideshow to view some of the fall activities awaiting visitors to Mackinac Island (left) and the areas just north and south of the 5-mile bridge across the Straits of Mackinac. More detailed information to help you plan your trip starts on slide 15.
Do the drives
Thanks to the insulating effects of the Great Lakes, the color show near Mackinac often starts in late September and stretches into late October.
Some of the most beautiful fall color is west of Mackinaw City. The Tunnel of Trees (left) is a popular 20-mile stretch of State-199 from Cross Village to Harbor Springs. Nearby Wilderness State Park, along 26 miles of Lake Michigan shore, has a two-lane road that seems to change its mind as it twists toward the park: one mile, the road winds along shoreline dunes. The next mile, it turns inland through meadows of red poppies, purple asters and yellow goldenrod, making for an idyllic drive.
Glimpse local history
Perhaps the area's most impressive history lesson awaits in Mackinaw City, where visitors to Colonial Michilimackinac State Park (left) slip through the garrisoned entry and into the 1700s. French, then British, occupied these military barracks on Lake Michigan to protect the riches of the fur trade. In fall, visitors get front-row seats at colonial cooking demonstrations and musket firings—and, ultimately, a better sense of what it was like to live here 300 years ago.
Sample North Woods charm
South of Wilderness State Park along Lake Michigan, Cross Village's Legs Inn has built a reputation for North Woods charm (left). Come for the eccentric folk architecture, but stay for the authentic Polish food, including pierogi (dumplings) and szarlotka (berry crumble cake).
Walk in the treetops
Visitors ready to get out of the car and strap on a harness head for Historic Mill Creek Discovery Park (3 miles south of Mackinaw City), where a park with a rock-climbing wall, zip line and canopy bridge (left) awaits against a backdrop of tangled cedar, aspen and pine. Still, the park holds on to its history; a waterwheel churns as it did more than 200 years ago, when a sawmill here supplied lumber to the fur trade.
Ride a bike
Cycling is the best way to explore auto-free Mackinac Island. Come September, riders can pedal downtown without brushing another tourist's tires and admire the softball-size dahlias and drifts of black-eyed Susans at the Grand Hotel. An 8-mile paved trail circles Mackinac. Inland, 140 miles of carriage roads, bike trails and footpaths knit through a hilly and wooded landscape, past limestone outcrops. Scott's Road and the Tranquil Bluff Trail trace the eastern shore, where red, brown and golden leaves drift down from a canopy of red oak, beech and maple.
Explore a park
Mackinac Island State Park (left) surprises visitors with its faraway-woods feel, despite being a few hundred yards from downtown. More than 80 percent of Mackinac Island is within the state park. Hike, bike or ride a horse through forests, past geological formations and along limestone bluffs.
60-Second Video: Mackinac Island
Its peaceful park and long history give Mackinac Island a soul-reviving atmosphere. Immerse yourself in the mood at some of our favorite attractions, including the Grand Hotel, Fort Mackinac and Joann's Fudge.
See a lighthouse
Century-old lighthouses in the Mackinac region continue to pique visitors' curiosity. One way to enjoy them: Shepler's Lighthouse Cruises, three-hour narrated cruises, offered June to mid-September, that pass at least five lights.
Marvel at the bridge
The "Mighty Mac" suspension bridge, an engineering wonder, stretches 5 miles across the Straits of Mackinac. At Bridge View Park in St. Ignace, you can get terrific Mackinac Island bridge views with paths, picnic areas and interpretive center.
Learn about native culture
The Museum of Ojibwa Culture in St. Ignace (left) offers a thoughtful look at Ojibwa life, including family networks and seasonal migrations, explaining how the Ojibwa adapted to the seasons -- from "shining leaves month" (September) to "crusty snow month" (February).
Glide on the water
Northeast of the Mackinac bridge, a chain of 36 islands and narrow channels known as Les Cheneaux offers plenty of places for hiking, fishing and exploring. Strip malls and souvenir shops never got a foothold here. Instead, visitors admire wildlife from boats and kayaks.
Go fishing
The fish continue to bite near Hessel Bay Sunset Cabins north of the bridge (left). On warmer fall days, the air is clear, waters are calm, and shorelines glow in a rich patina of copper and gold. Visitors (and local residents) know to enjoy autumn's hues while they can. Come November, a north wind will shake the last color from the maples, and a skin of ice will begin to thick on the Straits.
Your getaway: Mackinac region
The 5-mile "Mighty Mac" spans the Straits of Mackinac, where lakes Michigan and Huron merge. Islands scatter to the east and west, from small, uninhabited limestone outcrops to well-known Mackinac Island. The Straits also divide Michigan into its disparate halves: the Upper Peninsula, where small waterfront towns give way to wilderness, and the more populated Lower Peninsula, with Mackinaw City at its tip.
