TART Remarks

Protesting the generally accepted influence of religion on everyday life

Vol. 1 No. 4 - August 28, 2006

Does "god" exist? This is the issue under consideration this week. I have spent many hours working through volumnous notes collected over numerous years. So much more need be said. But the leading article this week is at bottom an honest attempt to better understand… Homo sapiens sapiens.

Dr. Jaco Gericke, of the University of Pretoria, contributes a refutation of Anselm's Ontological Argument. I am elated to publish something from Gericke's pen as I regard him as one of the world's most promising theologians. Perhaps this statement may be quoted in his honour at some distant future date, when all had been said about what is expected to be a fulgurant career.

The Illinois Democrat, Senator Barack Obama, is tipped to be the first member of a minority to win the White House. A specific American prejudice is briefly examined in this issue.

Having considered the case for and against "god", I publish a "Cartoon Essay" on the influence of "god" – and no better candidate presents himself than the "Leader of the Free World", George W Bush.

There is the usual snippets from around the world: religious influence on society. This week Hezbollah, the Episcopalians, the Rev. Jerry Falwell and stem cell research are noted.

TART Remarks has received it's first correspondence and publishes two letters, one from UNISA's Professor Spangenberg and another anonymously.

I invite readers to share with me. I am touched, and certainly impressed, by the reaction to TART Remarks. Next week, subsequent to the processing of specific information, TART Remarks will be delivered to more than 4,000 individuals globally. For a fifth issue, methinks that is not too shabby!
