“Abraham Lincoln Advertised”?

“Abraham Lincoln Advertised”?
That’s how a certain shyster lawyer in the Chicago area justifies doing so, but I wouldn’t touch the lawyers in those commercials with a ten-foot pole. you can fairly SEE the slime coming off of them. I prefer to get such information by word of mouth from friends or relatives; that way you know the person telling you has YOUR interests at heart, not the lawyer’s.Who agrees?

Answer by John B
I don’t know what you’re referring to. Maybe you have to have seen the ad. There are a lot of slimy people out there, lawyers and non-lawyers.

This book, “Lincoln and Seward. Remarks upon the memorial address of Chas. Francis Adams, on the late William H. Seward, with incidents and comments illustrative of the measures and policy of the administration of Abraham Lincoln. And views as to the relative positio. 1″, by Gideon Welles, is a replication of a book originally published before 1874. It has been restored by human beings, page by page, so that you may enjoy it in a form as close to the original as possible. This book was created using print-on-demand technology.

Charles Darwin or Abraham Lincoln?
Does anyone find it strange, that during Black History month, everyone is celebrating Darwin’s birthday instead of Abe’s?

Lincoln played a huge role in the civil rights movement, help blacks achieve equality and worked to end slavery.

Although Darwin made incredible contributions to the science world, he was also a huge racist, and considered anyone of black skin to be a savage.

“While many have argued that Darwin himself was not a “racist” (referring specifically to the fact that The Origin of Species did not include much discussion about Homo sapiens), his second book left little question about his personal views. Titled The Descent of Man, one entire chapter was dedicated to “The Races of Man.” In that book, Darwin wrote:

At some future period not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace the savage races throughout the world. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes…will no doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest Allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as the baboon, instead of as now between the Negro or Australian and the gorilla (1874, p. 178).

While some have argued that Darwin was simply “predicting the future,” the chapter on human races makes painfully clear his beliefs on the subject. For instance, a few pages later in chapter seven, he noted:

Their mental characteristics are likewise very distinct; chiefly as it would appear in their emotional, but partly in their intellectual faculties. Everyone who has had the opportunity of comparison must have been struck with the contrast between the taciturn, even morose, aborigines of S. America and the light-hearted, talkative negroes.

While Darwin may have maintained an outward concern for social justice, Thomas Henry Huxley, a close personal friend of Darwin’s and an indefatigable champion of evolution (who frequently referred to himself as “Darwin’s Bulldog”) observed:

No rational man, cognizant of the facts, believes that the average Negro is the equal, still less the superior, of the white man. And if this be true, it is simply incredible that, when all his disabilities are removed, and our prognathus relative has a fair field and no favour, as well as no oppressor, he will be able to compete successfully with his bigger-brained and smaller jawed rival, in a contest which is to be carried out on by thoughts and not by bites (1871, p. 20).

The point is obvious: if man evolved, then so did the various races. But more than that, Darwin and Huxley argued further that the “caucasian” race was farther along in the evolutionary process, and thus superior to all the other races.”

Why are we celebrating him during Black History month?

Answer by madmarv
Darwin was a prick and that’s being as nice as I can be on here.I totally agree with you we shouldn’t celebrate him.In my book he is the lowest of the low and his theory of Evolution is wrong.My thought on this and no others.

Abe Lincoln saved the Union. Gotta give him props for that.

This book, “Lincoln and Seward. Remarks upon the memorial address of Chas. Francis Adams, on the late William H. Seward, with incidents and comments illustrative of the measures and policy of the administration of Abraham Lincoln.

Atheists, how can you attack the Bible (specifically the Old Testament) for being immoral WHEN….?
….morality and justice are not universal things?

Morality and justice depend on what time you live in.

When God is shown in the Bible telling Moses that people who work on the sabbath should be killed or homosexuals should be killed, etc. this ONLY applied to Jews and ONLY for Jews AT THAT TIME.

We don’t follow this anymore so to attack the God of the Bible as being immoral has ZERO merit.

God is love, but he is also justice and justice and morality are relative things.

For example, Abraham Lincoln said that he was NOT for the equality of blacks. Lincoln did free the slaves, but he was also QUOTED as saying that he did not think the races were equal. Would you attack Lincoln as being pure EVIL? No. This is because morality depends on what culture you come from and what time.

Morality is relative, so why attack God for “killing” a child, for example, if this happened in the OLD TESTAMENT and the child felt NO PAIN and was put in Heaven FOREVER?

Morality is relative.

I put “killing” in quotation marks because God kills no one. When God let the children die in the Old Testament it was as a punishment for the sins of the parents. An example would be the Flood. God didn’t kill them, he simply took them to a wonderful place which is Heaven.
Edit: I’m asking how can you attack the Bible for being immoral when morality is a relative thing?
Why attack it when the standards of our time are different?
Edit: The stuff done in the book of Joshua was justified because the people they killed were EVIL and they practiced human sacrifices. I don’t know if it actually says that in the Bible per se but you can tell from context. People who worshipped Baal did kill people.
They murdered children.

Answer by e x a m
Although the awareness of SOME sort of right and wrong is apparently universal, many specific details differ across cultures and time periods. In the case of slavery, for example, the practice was once universally accepted in the southern United States, and many anti-abolitionists even quoted the Bible to justify the practice. This indicates that morality has a strong cultural component to it, and is tied up in evolving notions of secular morality.

Other human perceptions also have the appearance of being normative. For instance, most people agree that chocolate is “delicious,” while dirt is “not delicious.” By the same reasoning as the argument from normative morality, it could be said that there must be some ultimate standard for deliciousness, and that standard must be God, the ultimate tasty treat. We could use a similar argument to prove that God is the definition of the perfect homosexual lover.

I’ll stop attacking it for being immoral when the fundies stop attacking gay rights because the bible says THEY are immoral.
