barney frank: if youre an atheist politician dont call yourself an atheist
Bookmarked 565 weeks ago as religiosity plays a major role in american society barney frank advises other atheist politicians not to draw too much attention to the word quotatheistquot because it is too often perceived as a repudiation of religion and therefore of american values frank039s reasoning for this course of action stems from a simple guiding principle why pick a fight you don039t need to wage nothing039s stopping a non-believing politician from legislating in a way that protects the rights and interests of non-believers but in this current state of society there are few benefits for coming out and being overt about one039s atheismread more at bigthinkcom: http:googlo8urfollow big think here:youtube: http:googlcptsv5facebook: https:wwwfacebookcombigthinkdotcomtwitter: https:twittercombigthinktranscript: well the problem with atheism politically starts with the phrase i have advised people who are themselves non-believers not to use the word atheist it has a harshness to it it is a repudiation not necessarily literally but it comes across as a repudiation of religion and religion is very important to many people it039s a source of good feelings for many of them it is not always unfortunately a motive for good behavior i have noted that in the international situations religion is sadly more often a cause for people to shoot each other then to help each other when you get splits within two countries or even within countries where it039s catholics versus protestants jews versus muslims buddhists versus muslims as it has been in myanmar hindus versus muslims there039s a very sad extent of that but religion is important to people it has a history of being seen as a source of good behavior america039s history has given religiosity a greater role than some other placesand from the politician039s standpoint the question is why pick a fight that doesn039t have to be waged i never expressed the fact that i was not a believer in any theistic approach because it was never relevant i did fight very hard throughout my 40 years in elected office to prevent rules and laws that put nonbelievers at a disadvantage i039ve fought very hard against the establishment of religion against people being forced to subscribe to religious views to get certain benefits et cetera but beyond that it didn039t come up in my own case there was another reason why i didn039t talk about it i039m jewish obviously there039s a strong terrible history of persecution of jews judaism is a religion but it is also an ethnicity and for many of us who are jewish in america today it is the ethnicity more than or even to the exclusion of religion that identifies us but for me to have when i was a public official i was the first jewish person to be elected to the congress in the united states since 1884 it would039ve looked as or to some people it could have been distorted to be a kind of i039m separating myself from the jews and i wouldn039t want to do that even today as secular as i am when the high holy days of yom kippur and rosh hashanah come up i am not going to be seen in public doing things that other jews won039t do for religious reasons i don039t observe them myself in a religious way but i would not want my behavior to be used to embarrass or discomfort anybody who does religiously follow them |

why do old books smell
Bookmarked 721 weeks ago walk into a used bookshop and you will encounter the unique aroma of aging books the smell is loved by some disliked by others but where does it come from a physical book is full of organic material that reacts with heat light moisture and - mostly importantly - the chemicals used in its production the smell comes from the reaction of the organic material to these factors chemists at university college london have investigated the old book odor and concluded that old books release hundreds of volatile organic compounds into the air from the paper the lead scientist described the smell as quota combination of grassy notes with a tang of acids and a hint of vanilla over an underlying mustinessquot chemicals are found in the wood pulp that makes paper and also in the ink for text and illustrations from a chemist039s point of view the biggest reason for a book039s decay is acidity -- and paper with too much acidity is common in books printed in the 19th and 20th centuries hence their rapid deterioration and the smell books printed by the earliest printers have survived for 500 years because the purity of their paper telltale signs of this deterioration is browning - an all over discoloration of the pages - and foxing which are localized brown spots books can also react to external materials a newspaper clipping stored inside a book can cause a reaction through its ink and cheap acidic paper books can absorb strong smells from the environment and this is commonly seen with tobacco smoke the best way to store your books is in a cool dry environment away from direct sunlight learn more about book care at the abebooks039 book collecting guide: http:bitlyujygthimage credit of ucl: ucl |
