Another month has rolled off, and it's time to see what's the new topic that you guys chose last time! Aaaand, teh winrar is...

God, Church, School & Science



OMG! (oops)... It's quite a broad subject, isn't it? And I can sense there'll be a quite some Caesar in there! And maybe a little bit of Neil deGrasse Tyson awesomeness (or Richard Dawkins douchebaggery?) We'll see.

Some details, in case we need any:

- Political science of religion.
- Theocracy, and the separation of church and state.
- Political theology. Christian anarchism, socialism, libertarianism, etc.
- The influence of religious communities on politics, the media and the public.
- Political aspects of Islam. Using Islam as a political doctrine.
- Dominion theology.
- Atheism and politics.
- The principles of Enlightenment.
- Modern-day controversies regarding religion and its institutions. The War on Christmas.
- History of education and forms of education.
- Development goals of education. Purpose of schools.
- Education and technology.
- Critical thinking vs brain-washing. Standardisation vs specialisation.
- Unschooling, alternative school and homeschooling.
- The public perception of science and technology.
- The scientific method. Certainty and science.
- Practical impacts of scientific research.
- Modern-day controversies in science.
- Pseudoscience, fringe science, and junk science. Conspiracy theories regarding science.
- Women in science, science policy, science and the media, political usage of science.
- Criticism and resistance to science. The War on Reason.
- Futurism, postmodernism, transhumanism, and the future of science in politics.

And here's the poll for October!

[Poll #1980456]

I am far more interested in Dominionist politics than in Dominionist theology. The theology is actually quite simple. The political model has more sophistication. Mikey Weinstein's group has been very active in combating it in the place where it has had the most success.

DAILY QUOTE:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
