Corinthians

One and Twohttps://www.npr.org/2016/01/18/463528847/citing-two-corinthians-trump-struggles-to-make-the-sale-to-evangelicals First and Second Corinthians are epistles from Paul of Tarsus to the Greek church of Corinth. Unlike some of the epistles attributed to Paul, the consensus is that he really did write both, even though the second one may be edited out of more than one original letter or document. One exception to this is the famous 1 Corinthians 13 which is in a notably different literary register, and William O. Walker proposed that it might been written by a different author, although others point to typically Pauline features in vocabulary and theology in support of authorship by Paul."The Pauline Authorship of 1 Corinthians 13", Jeremy Corley, The Catholic Biblical Quarterly, Vol. 66, No. 2 (April 2004), pp. 256-274, via JSTOR
==First Corinthians==
First Corinthians was likely written some 20 years after the death of Jesus, when Paul was in Ephesus. This would date the letter between 53 and 57 CE. Like most of the epistles, Corinthians 1 was written to address what Paul saw as theological problems in the Church of Corinth, focusing on divisions of the leaders of the church. He asks them to seek church unity and to step away from the divisive Pagan ideas that threaten the Church with God's punishment.
===Feminism===
The epistle is a breakthrough for the rights of women. For the first time, St. Paul relented and allowed women to learn how to avoid eternal damnation too. Just as long as they asked their questions the hell away from him.

===Five hundred===
This is the source of the frequent apologist statement that there were five hundred witnesses to the resurrected Christ.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
==Second Corinthians==
This is also an authentic letter of Paul's, written after the 1st letter (and a missing letter, called the "letter of tears") failed to have effect on the Church. There is discussion that the epistle included in the canon is actually 2 letters joined, and that the harsh rebukes are separate from the letter that asks to visit.

Cornerstone Group

The Cornerstone Group is a highly socially conservative, mainly Anglican"The founder of the Common Sense Group is Sir John Hayes, MP for South Holland and the Deepings in Lincolnshire since 1997. ... Back in 2005, along with Edward Leigh MP, he co-founded the Thatcherite, Anglican focused, right-leaning, traditionalist Cornerstone Group of 32 MPs and peers whose motto is ‘Faith, Family, Flag’. Its rather neglected website states that it is here to defend the spiritual, patriotic, and social values that undergird Britain’s cohesiveness." group in the United Kingdom that works from within the Conservative Party. It's essentially the rough British equivalent of the Republican Party, though it chooses to work with (relative) moderates from within another party rather than start their own.
It was founded in 2005 by Edward Leigh (an independent-minded veteran Conservative MP) and John Hayes (another conservative and Eurosceptic Tory MP), and they supported Liam Fox over David Cameron in the 2005 Tory leadership vote.What is the Cornerstone Group, Matthew Barrett, Conservative Home, 4 May 2012 It does not have a formal membership but instead a list of "supporters", who have included Jacob Rees-Mogg, climate change denier David Davies, Sajid Javid, John Whittingdale, and David Amess. Its website has been described as "rather neglected", much like certain parts of RationalWiki.[citation not needed]
==Typical policies== 
Pretty much what you'd expect from hardcore social conservatives. Opposed to gay marriage and generally fairly homophobic,Their "president" is more or less openly a homophobe restricting or banning abortion,Fox courts religious Right with plea to limit abortion to 12 weeks, The Daily Telegraph, 20 Sep, 2005 opposition to teaching the kids about the birds and bees at school,https://www.secularism.org.uk/news/2014/10/tory-mp-calls-for-all-sex-education-to-be-scrapped more restrictions on immigration, and a vehement hatred of liberalism. Their platform sums it up thusly:
In other words, there's a reason why even other Conservative Party members are embarrassed by them, such as Alan Duncan MP who labelled the tendency "Taliban Toryism".Tory MPs vote on rules for leader, Michael White, The Guardian, 19 July 2005
They support traditionalist Christianity, citing "the spiritual values which have informed British institutions, our culture and our nation's sense of identity for centuries".Reference: Cornerstone Group, politics.co.uk, accessed 27 April 2018
The group was critical of David Cameron's move to the centre while in opposition in the late 00s. Its supporters tend to be opposed to the European Union. Its website promotes various speeches by prominent supporters, including one (singled out by Conservative Home) by founder and president Edward Leigh which called for a move towards a flat tax, reduced state control over schools, market-based reforms in the health service, and an end to the "tide of political correctness sweeping and restricting Britain".

Corporate Equality Index

The Corporate Equality Index is an annual report released by the Human Rights Campaign.http://www.hrc.org/ They analyze "Corporate America" to see how well they accommodate the reality of the lives of their LGBT employees. A 100% rating is given to those corporations/businesses that not only do not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, but have policies in place that support their employees by providing a resource group or diversity council, as well as market appropriately to the LGBT communities and/or sponsor LGBT events.
In 2002 when the index was first published, only 13 corporations made the grade. The 2008 Index (released September 2007) had 195 U.S. corporations that receive the 100% rating. In 2010, there were 305 with 100%. Based on stricter criteria, 190 corporations merited 100% in the 2012 index; that number increased to 252 in 2013.CEI 2013 PDF
The message for our conservative friends is that their world is shrinking, and if they are truly people of their word — and let's face it, they say they are — they will not be supporting these corporations/businesses.
Kudos to Ed Brayton and his Dispatches From the Culture Wars blog for his very funny take on just what this Index means for true conservatives.http://scienceblogs.com/dispatches/2007/09/how_to_avoid_advancing_the_gay.php

Corrective rape

Corrective rape is a criminal act and pseudoscience in which people rape suspected lesbians or gay men, asexuals, or transgender people, in order to "fix" their sexual orientation. The practice is a problem particularly in South Africa,Yolanda Mufweba, "'Corrective rape makes you an African woman'", Saturday Star, 2003-11-07Fadi Baghdadi 2013, Corrective Rape of black lesbian women in Post-Apartheid South Africa: investigating the symbolic violence and resulting misappropriation of symbolic power that ensues within a nexus of social imaginariesJames Lovette-Black. Lesbians and Gay Men in Zimbabwe Face Brutal “Corrective” Rape. News Junkie Post. 2010 April 8.Patrick Strudwick. Crisis in South Africa: The shocking practice of 'corrective rape' - aimed at 'curing' lesbians. The Independent. 2014 January 4David Rosenberg. The Horror of “Corrective Rape” in South Africa. Slate. 2014 January 16Annie Kelly. Raped and killed for being a lesbian: South Africa ignores 'corrective' attacks. The Guardian. 2009 March 12. but threats to do it happen also in the UK.I once touched Michael Fassbender’s chest — and I’m still a lesbian: Chefs Jack Monroe and Allegra McEvedy talk about their passion for food — and each other Knowing homophobes and the frat-boy mentality, it is quite possibly more widespread than that. 
A common trope in fiction which applies both to gay men and lesbians is that they can be "cured" of homosexuality through "corrective rape".Cure Your Gays article on TV Tropes.
==Comparison with "The Gay Agenda"==
The underlying "logic" of corrective rape is that a forced, and therefore presumably unpleasant, sexual encounter can change the victim's sexual orientation. This appears to be the same "logic" that says that homosexual men "recruit" young boys by exposing them to homosexuality, at worst raping them, or because of child abuse. Those who say they would rape, or in their terms, "convert", lesbians are making a tacit assumption that if they were raped, they too would convert to homosexuality. Somehow, it's doubtful that they would agree that to be the case. So why the inconsistency and double standard?Because conservatives are control freaks who hate anything that isn't like themselves. Duh.

Cosmodicy

A cosmodicy is a hand-waving attempt to assert the fundamental goodness of the universe in the face of perceived evil. The term is modelled on theodicy, and is used by those who see cosmodicy and theodicy as being analogous disciplines. A related term is anthropodicy, which describes arguments for the fundamental goodness of humanity in the face of evil.
A number of theologians have grappled with the relationship between cosmodicy and theodicy. Johannes van der Ven argues that the choice between theodicy and cosmodicy is a false dilemma.Johannes A. van der Ven, “Theodicy or cosmodicy: a false dilemma?”, Journal of Empirical Theology, Volume 2, Number 1, 1989 , pp. 5-27(23); see also Johannes A. van der Ven, God reinvented?: a theological search in texts and tables, Empirical studies in theology, Vol. 1, Leiden [u.a.] Brill 1998, p. 205 Philip E. Devenish proposes "a nuanced view in which theodicy and cosmodicy are rendered complementary, rather than alternative concepts."Devenish, Philip E. “Theodicy and Cosmodicy: The Contribution of Neoclassical Theism”, Journal of Empirical Theology 4 (1992): 5-23 Theologian J. Matthew Ashley describes the relationship between theodicy, cosmodicy and anthropodicy:
The answer, of course, is exactly that of theodicy: we don't. Just as an omnipotent god could lack omnibenevolence, so too could the universe. "Faith in the cosmos" and "faith in humanity" are restricted to the prospect that they exist, not that they are deserving of worship, no one but followers of the Abrahamic religions ever having conflated the two. Like an enormous housecat, the cosmos is pretty, good to have around, sometimes can even appear caring, but ultimately could not give a flying fuck.

Cottingley fairies

The Cottingley fairies was a hoax which demonstrated that being a famous novelist doesn't prevent you from being credulous. In short, Elsie Wright, a wacky art college student, persuaded her ten-year-old cousin, Frances Griffiths, to pose with some cardboard cut-out fairies for a photo in 1917. Later photographs were taken using a double exposure technique to super-impose fairy-like creatures onto photographs. Five photographs were taken in total.
==Reaction==
Word got out and Arthur Conan Doyle, who also believed in spiritualism,Conan Doyle's obsession with "Christian spiritualism" was the result of losing his son and several close relatives during and shortly following the First World War.
Doyle also believed that stage illusionist Harry Houdini had supernatural powers, despite Houdini's open insistence that he didn't. At one point, Doyle and his wife claimed to have received messages from Houdini's deceased mother. Although Houdini humored them for the sake of their friendship, he privately stated that he couldn't accept their claim, as his mother had never mastered the English language in life.
The creator of Sherlock Holmes seems to have been so credulous as to defy imagination, though this credulity was probably in proportion to the personal loss he suffered in his advancing years. His desire to prove the existence of "the invisible world" eventually led him to the Cottingley Fairies, providing some degree of relief from the grief he was still experiencing. declared them genuine. He even wrote a book, The Coming of Fairies which explained the photographs in detail — what the fairies are doing, their rank in fairy society. Many other spiritualists and paranormal lovers of the day were also happy to indulge the girls (and themselves) that the photos were real, even the obviously faked ones.
==The hoax revealed!==
Doubts about the reality of the photographs were raised almost immediately, although many were still suckered in.A reproduction of the original article describing the above The fate of the hoax seemed sealed when a book titled Princess Mary's Gift Book was discovered, featuring line drawings of dancing girls with remarkable similarity to the fairies in the photos, but the artistic alterations performed by Elsie allowed enough wriggle room for some to maintain their belief.
Over the years, the little fib and simple childish prank grew and grew until it was too embarrassing to admit the truth (in a manner reminiscent of the Fox sisters saga). Eventually, however, the two did come forward with their hoax, after a fashion. While Elsie and Frances eventually admitted that some of the images were hoaxes, Frances maintained until her death that the fifth and final picture was real, claiming to have actual memories of seeing fairies. This disagreement is cited as evidence of the existence of the Cottingley fairies, even in modern times.https://forum.davidicke.com/showthread.php?t=65256

Council of Conservative Citizens

The Council of Conservative Citizens, veiled, like many extremist groups, behind a moderate name, is a racist hate group that advocates white supremacist positions including white separatism. It is based in St. Louis, Missouri, and was founded in 1985, rising from the execrable ashes of the White Citizens' Councils formed in the 1950s to oppose desegregation. They have published various columns describing African-Americans and other non-white ethnicities as "a retrograde species of humanity." They are also, unsurprisingly, anti-gay and anti-Semitic.Council of Conservative Citizens -- Extremism in America The KKK CCC is organized into various chapters spread across thirteen states. They hold the most influence in (surprise surprise) the Bible Belt states of Tennessee, Mississippi, and South Carolina, where several state legislators are members. Their activity in other states is sporadic, where it exists at all.
==Poor principles promote pestilential politics==
According to their Statement of Principles,Statement of Principles | Council of Conservative Citizens they feel that the United States is a Christian country, and all of the public leaders of the US of A should reflect Christian beliefs and such. They also believe that the US of A is to be, and always should have been, a European-American country with all of the European heritage and people that entails. They most likely shat their collective pants in November 2008. They also strongly dislike the following: the United Nations, Communism, racial diversity, immigration (legal or illegal) of non-Europeans, Muslims, feminism, homosexuality (especially in the military), affirmative action, women in the military, NAFTA, the World Trade Organization, and any government agency not found in the Constitution (such as the Department of Education). But they loves them some guns.
The Western Tennessee CCC is responsible for The Political Cesspool, an accurately-named radio show affiliated with Stormfront and the Institute for Historical Review (among others). They also called for a boycott of the movie based on Marvel Comics' Thor character because a black actor was cast playing Heimdall, a Norse god.Marvel Boycotted by White Supremacists | Death and Taxes

In the wake of Dylann Roof's terrorist attack at a Charleston church in June 2015, the organisation was quick to condemn his acts, if not his ideology. It couldn't, however, resist claiming that he had 'legitimate grievances'. Its statement was silent on whether the organisation would have felt his actions were justified if he'd drawn the line at pistol-whipping his victims instead of killing them.

Council of Europe

The Council of Europe is an organisation of 46 countries in Europe. It includes almost all European countries, with the exception of Belarus, Russia, Vatican City, and some countries which lack full international recognition (such as Kosovo, South Ossetia or Abkhazia).
It mainly exists as a forum for discussion among the member governments, and as such has been a vehicle for the adoption of a wide range of treaties in many different areas. It is a bit like a European mini-United Nations. It also has a Parliamentary Assembly, which is elected by the Parliaments of the member states, and brings together parliamentarians to discuss issues.
In terms of substantive powers, its most notable institution is the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) — citizens of member states can sue their governments in this court, claiming human rights violations. This is the most controversial aspect of the Council of Europe.
It should not be confused with the European Union, which is a separate body with a smaller membership but much greater powers. (However, the British tabloids do not understand the difference, and keep on calling the ECHR an "EU court", which it is not.) For added confusion, the European Union has two institutions — one called the Council of the European Union, the other the European Council — which again are unrelated to the Council of Europe.
The Council of Europe is older than the EU, having been established in 1949, while the earliest predecessors of the EU were not formed until 1958, and the EU did not exist under its current name until 1993. The Council of Europe was established as a looser, broader, low commitment grouping, that any European country could join, provided they meet minimum standards of democracy and human rights. During the Cold War its membership was restricted to the Western-allied European countries, but has since then been expanded to include most of the former Eastern bloc, which included Russia which joined in 1996 and left in 2022 following the invasion of Ukraine. This also led to the question of where "Europe" ends which the CoE has decided means territory west of the Ural river, meaning that Kazakhstan can join when it fulfills the CoE's democracy and human rights standards, but that Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, presumably, cannot. The CoE has also come very close to kicking out a member state for human rights abuses, specifically Greece in the wake of the coup that brought in the — although the junta withdrew Greek CoE membership to forestall being excluded.
