Jesus was an eater of magic mushrooms or a Martian


If one maintains that Jesus was an eater of magic mushrooms or a Martian, then this will not make for fertility. There is not enough in common for there to be intercourse in any sense. ― Timothy Radcliffe

Truth needs to be established through the experiences of people, not pressed upon anybody by some authority or inculcated through some superstition.

Clash of the civic activists

The Moscow City Duma’s 45 seats are up for grabs in elections this September, which means it’s time for another round of “the state authorities vs. the opposition vs. the real opposition,” as officials recruit, by hook or by crook, various public figures with varying degrees of “liberal” credibility to compete against those uncompromising anti-Kremlin activists daring enough to run for office. One of the central dramas this season is between Anti-Corruption Foundation attorney Lyubov Sobol and Moscow Palliative Care Center director Nyuta Federmesser, who are campaigning for the same seat in the city’s 43rd District.
On May 7, Alexey Navalny published an open letter addressed to Federmesser, asking her to withdraw from the election, arguing that the authorities engineered her candidacy to take votes from Sobol, who works at Navalny’s foundation. “Nyuta, you shouldn’t help them,” Navalny wrote. “You can’t allow your work, for which you are loved and respected, to be so humiliated and debased.”
For years, Federmesser has managed different hospice care projects in Moscow. Last November, to the dismay of many in the anti-Kremlin opposition, she joined the All-Russia People's Front, a political coalition launched in 2011 by Vladimir Putin. According to research by Meduza, she is one of the “independent” candidates supported by Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin.
In a Facebook post on May 9, human rights activist and journalist Zoya Svetova argued that Navalny’s open letter is “correct,” but it doesn’t tell Federmesser anything she doesn’t already know. Svetova says Sobol should register in another district to avoid the clash with Federmesser that City Hall clearly wants. Svetova speculates that Federmesser is only running for office to fulfill the terms of whatever bargain she struck with the authorities that ensures the continued existence of her foundations. It’s essentially a “deal with the Devil,” Svetova says, and that kind of thing is hard to pull off, she warns. [The Real Russia. Today. May 9, 2019]
