Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain

The Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain was formed in June 2007 to support people who had renounced Islam. The British branch was formed in response to the success of similar movements in Germany, Finland, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The British Humanist Association and National Secular Society sponsored the launch and support the organisation.
The Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain claims that The London School of Economics Student Union refused to allow the Atheist, Secularist and Humanist Society to add "ex-Muslim" to its name alleging security concerns. The ex-Muslims claim this makes it harder for former Muslims to get the support they need in facing family pressure and Islamist threats when they come out. Statement on adding ex-Muslim to the LSE Atheist, Secularist, and Humanist Society name
On the other hand it does mean that that the Society will not eventually become known as the "Atheist, Secularist, Humanist, Ex-Muslim, Ex-Christian, Ex-Scientologist, Ex-Mormon, Ex-Jainist, Ex-Pastafarian, Ex-Cetera society.

Council on Foreign Relations

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is one of America's oldest and most influential think tanks, founded in 1921. Its focus is on, obviously, foreign relations. CFR is known for coining the term "containment" and helping to draw up the "blueprints" for NATO and the Marshall Plan. Despite being home to scores of policy big shots, the CFR's recommendations have often been ignored by politicians. In the run-up to the Vietnam War, for example, CFR characterized Ho Chi Minh's regime as more nationalist than Marxist and recommended diplomacy in favor of war."X" Leads the Way, CFR Its former president, Richard Haass, was also a critic of the War in Iraq.Council on Foreign Relations sick of Iraq occupation, WonketteThe Council on Foreign Relations' Richard Haass on Bush's Unjust Iraq War Blunder, US News
==Conspiracy theories==
CFR is a staple target of conspiracy theories, usually relating to the New World Order, North American Union, Illuminati, Freemasonry, and the international Jewish conspiracy (especially due to Henry Kissinger's presence). Its name often comes up next to similar organizations with high-ranking officials as members that attract endless conspiracy theorizing, including the Bilderberg Group and the Trilateral Commission. The CFR notably became the subject of historian Carroll Quigley's more crackpot ideas, in which he alleged them to be part of a vast, secretive "Anglo-American elite" that ruled the world."Carroll Quigley: Theorist of Civilizations" They were so secretive in fact, that Quigley was able to track their certainly 'large' effect on the world and history down to quite some detail.Records of quotes by Quigley in addition with extra crackpottery CFR conspiracies are also peddled by the John Birch Society.Purveyors of the Conspiracist Worldview The fact, as previously mentioned, that they've been ignored on multiple occasions concerning major diplomatic issues undermines their supposed all-powerful status somewhat. But then again, that's what they want you to think!

Counter-jihad

The Counterjihad movement is a de-centralized far-right network between Western activists against Islam.
The movement got a boost in the wake of the September 11 attacks. The movement came to prominence as one of its followers, Anders Behring Breivik, carried out a terrorist attack in 2011 and published a manifesto titled 2083 – A European Declaration of Independence, in which he argues that Europe is at war with Muslims.
Prominent counter-jihad writers include Anders Behring Breivik, Fjordman, Bat Ye'or, Daniel Pipes, Pamela Geller, Jared Israel, Ned May, and Hans Rustad, and important publications include Atlas Shrugs, Gates of Vienna, 1389, The Brussels Journal, and Document.no.
One of the most central beliefs of the counter-jihad movement is the "Eurabia" conspiracy theory.

Counterfactual fallacy

A counterfactual fallacy occurs when someone states a fact, states that something would be true if the stated fact were not true, and provides no evidence for this position.
The fallacy is a causation fallacy and an informal fallacy.
==Alternative names==
*argumentum ad speculum
*hypothesis contrary to fact
*"what if"
*wouldchuck
==Form==
Or even more egregiously:
The second form doesn't even explain the causal connection between A and B; it really is just wild speculation. The first form is a special case of denying the antecedent, applied to counterfactual reasoning; it ignores the possibility of B still occurring as an effect of causes other than A, even if A had not occurred.
===Speculative evidence===
You commit this fallacy if you draw conclusions from evidence that hasn't been collected yet, but that, one supposes, would have come out in favor of one's own opinion.
If there is no evidence to support a particular point, do not rely on that point to carry your argument. If pressed on a point where there is not valid evidence to support it, acknowledge the lack of data and suggest that the matter needs to be investigated in order to resolve the disputed issue.
==Explanation==
Confusing "what might have been" with "what ought to have been"; speculating what would have happened in other circumstances, then drawing conclusions from the speculation.
==Examples==
*"We'd never have all this crime if [X] was president." This is unknowable because [X] isn't president.
*"In this country citizens are permitted to own guns. If guns were outlawed, citizens would be unable to protect themselves and there would be an uncontrollable crime wave."

Courage International

Courage International (often referred to simply as "Courage") is the reparative therapy apostolate (lay ministry) of the Catholic Church. It was organized in 1980 by New York Archbishop Terence Cardinal Cooke. Its mission was bolstered in 1986 when it received pastoral letters issued by Joseph Ratzinger, who was then the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
Courage also operates Encourage, a support group for friends and family members who can't cope with the thought of there being gay and lesbian Catholics.
Unlike Protestant ex-gay groups like Exodus International, Courage is relatively unknown among non-Catholics. However, a bit of light was splashed onto the movement's face in July 2013 when it was revealed that Antonin Scalia's son, Paul, is a priest that works for Courage. It was also revealed that the younger Scalia believes that being gay "is not an immutable characteristic or identity""Paul Scalia, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's Son, Doesn't Think That Homosexuality Is A Thing", Huffington Post website, 4 July 2013. and that he doesn't think that it really exists."Scalia's Son Says Homosexuality Doesn't Exist, Plans to Address Group that Encourages Lifelong Abstinence for Gays", Right Wing Watch website, 2 July 2013.

Covenant marriage

Covenant marriage is a relatively new (and fortunately unpopular)Sheri & Bob Stritof. Covenant Marriage Statistics. About.com. idea promoted by some American social conservatives to make traditional marriage possible and to combat the rising tide of divorce. It is aimed at people who long for permanent life-long marriage without the instability of break-ups or divorces. The concept basically involves adding a clause to marriage contracts to nullify the now-legal availability of "no fault" divorce, forcing unhappy couples either to assault one another or to engage in adultery in order to obtain a divorce.
This is a bad idea for obvious reasons. One former wife claims her husband pressured her into a covenant marriage, then tried for a long time — successfully — to use the covenant to keep her in an abusive marriage, similar to how abusive boyfriends often manipulate their girlfriends not to report abuse. Like we couldn't have seen that coming.
As one blogger observed, "Making it harder to get divorced is like making it harder to open a fire escape: By the time people get to the point of using it, the damage is already done. Time to let them out."John Scalzi. "Covenant Marriage is Stupid". Whatever. 2005 February 16.
==Legality==
Fortunately, as of 2018, only four states allow covenant marriage: Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas, and Louisiana. (However, most covenant-marriage advocates don't consider Arizona's to really be covenant marriage, because it still allows for mutual dissolution of the marriage.) In none of these states is covenant marriage mandatory, though Mike Huckabee did everything he could to promote it in Arkansas, even getting his own marriage "upgraded". It's been proposed in almost every other state, though, without passing or (usually) even getting to a vote.
It's a good thing California doesn't recognize covenant marriage, because the only two legal grounds for divorce in California are irreconcilable differences (i.e. a no-fault divorce) and incurable insanity.What are the Grounds for Divorce in California? Lawinfo.

Crazification factor

Crazification factor (alternatively known as the "Keyes constant"The Alan Keyes Constant, Chicago Magazine, 21 April 2011.) is a neologism coined in 2005 by blogger and screenwriter John Rogers to refer to the portion of the electorate comprising the nuttiest of the wingnuts and the batshit crazy, or at least the most diehard partisans.
In popular usage, it is an application of the Texas sharpshooter fallacy, in which you call attention only to data supporting your proposition: you will find endless examples of people online crying "Crazification factor!" when 20-30% of people do something — anything — the speaker doesn't like, or are even polled as holding an opinion they don't like.No, Rob Ford’s re-election isn’t certain. It’s not even likely., John Michael McGrath, blog, December 1, 2012
Rogers later stressed that the phrase was a joke, not some serious statistical proposition.https://twitter.com/jonrog1/status/390299744561410049
==Origin of the term==
Rogers was writing of the 2004 Senate election in Illinois:
Another factor in Obama's favor at the time that Rogers didn't mention is that the original Republican candidate, Jack Ryan,No relation to the character from several of Tom Clancy's novels. had been forced to suspend his candidacy after his divorce and custody records were released to the press, revealing that he had taken his former wife, actress Jeri Ryan,Best known for playing Seven of Nine on Star Trek: Voyager. Yeah. Coincidentally, she also worked with John Rogers on his TV series Leverage. to various sex clubs (including, in at least one case, a bondage club) and tried to have her perform sex acts on him out in the open.Ryan file a bombshell: ex-wife alleges GOP candidate took her to sex clubs, Chicago Tribune, 22 June 2004. Keyes was the GOP's last-minute replacement on the ticket after the sordid details of Ryan's divorce came out. So not only was it a normal candidate running against a clearly crazy opponent, but the crazy guy also had the baggage of the last guy's sex scandal following him, and had been drafted into the campaign as a hastily-drawn Plan B candidate with little time to prepare.Keyes challenges Obama for Illinois Senate seat, CNN, 9 August 2004.

Creation Moments

Creation Moments is a fundamentalist Christian, young earth creationist organization, which describes itself as an "interdenominational Christian outreach program."About us. creationmoments.com. The organization seeks to promote fundamentalist Christian ideals among individuals, students, churches and home schoolers. As creationist sites go, it's probably one of the funnier ones to read, and that's saying something. Their piece about the lungfish is pure gold.Lungfish take a bite out of evolution. Archived from the original at creationmoments.com. 
Creation Moments is the latest incarnation of an early creationist outfit known as the Bible Science Association.Bible-science newsletter. Archived from the original at creationism.org. The Bible Science Association was affiliated with the Creation Research Society, though there was some tension between the two groups when Walter E. Lammerts objected to the former's toleration of articles that advocated for a fixed-Earth geocentric universe.
==Beliefs==
They the following as their core beliefs: 
# A literal interpretation of creation as presented in the Bible
# The existence of scientific evidence for the Bible
# Divine design and purpose in nature
# A global flood (as described in Genesis)
# Special creation (uniqueness)
# Christ-centered scientific research
# A young Earth
# Christ as man's only hope for eternal redemption. Christ is both Savior and Lord, was born of a virgin, is both God and man, died for our sins and rose again.

Creation Social Science and Humanities Quarterly

The Creation Social Science and Humanities Quarterly (CSSHSQ) was a journal for creationist social science. According to creationism.org, the society was founded in 1977 in Wichita, Kansas (big surprise that, eh?).Creationism.org The journal is no longer in publication, though past articles are available.Creationism.org: Articles from all Editions A typical quarterly issue was made up of no more than 30 pages (much less than most daily newspapers), with the vast majority of the articles composed by the same half a dozen authors.CSSHSQ: Author index There's no mention of a peer review process, and most of the authors appear to be lacking a basic qualification in any relevant field. Still, it's nice to see creationists branch out of their usual narrow focus on evolution and delight us with hilarious articles on topics like "Creation and Inflation".

Creation Today

Creation Today is the name of the organization and Internet program operated by Eric Hovind. Hovind, a Young Earth Creationist, is accompanied by a guest who discuss creation, religion, and science. Usually in the course of the show Hovind promotes particular books or DVDs that he sells online at CreationToday.org and in his "Creation Store."
==History==
In late 2011 Creation Science Evangelism, founded by Eric's father Kent Hovind (imprisoned from 2007 to 2015), became Creation Today as "a new brand name" and "transition" to a new website.Kyle Winkler, page 4 The name-change is likely due to the negative attention and criticism about Creation Science Evangelism and the Hovinds.Kent Hovind, writing as "God" to Kent says, "You are being ridiculed all over the Internet" and Kent tells God, "There has been an awful lot of bad press about my case and me going to prison." Knee-Mail: "It's Not Over"
That same year, Eric Hovind began hosting Creation Today, which appeared on Youtube. Thus far, his main guests have been Paul Taylor, a British creationist, and Sye Ten Bruggencate, an advocate of the Transcendental Argument for the existence of God. The episodes are made for sale on Hovind's website and posted on its YouTube page, CreationScienceMinistries. The first episode, uploaded 5/26/11, discussed several topics, including how children should cope in public classrooms. 
Hovind continues to spread similar creationist propaganda as brought forth by his father, while simultaneously distorting and spreading lies about science: such distortions as calling evolution a religion, that teaching it in school is indoctrination, and that these lies should be removed from textbooks.
Kristopher Tribe (The Creation Guy) joined Creation Today in February 2017 as a contributor.

Creationist time

Creationist time is a method of comparing periods of time through a conversion of the age of the Earth as supported by Young Earth Creationism to the one supported by science.
==Derivation==
The age of the Earth and the age of the Universe supported by Young Earth Creationists is approximately 6000 years old (hey it's possible; probable is a different matter). According to deep time and Old Earth Creationism, the Earth is 4.54 billion years old, and the Universe is approximately 13.7 billion years old (okay, the Creationists aren't that far off). Because using the age of the Universe creates such a minuscule numberLike 0.000000438 but hey who's counting?, and the debate is much more focused on the Earth, Creationist time is based on the scientific age of the earth only, to create this formula:
Po=Period of time as Old Earth
Py=Period of time as Young Earth
P_o\times\, \frac{6000}{4.54\times 10^9} \, =P_y 
This will convert any period of time, to how long it would take according to Young Earth creationists. It is also very important to denote any specific years with BC/AD when speaking in Creationist time, or else prove yourself to be guilty of atheist liberal deceit.

Creflo Dollar

The appropriately named Creflo Augustus Dollar, Jr. (1962–) is a nondenominational televangelist from Georgia who teaches that Jesus wants you to be rich. He, along with wife Taffi (yes, Taffi), is prominent in the "Word of Faith" or "name it and claim it" movement. Among other things, he teaches that there is a set of "Believer's Rights" promised in the Bible that includes the same abilities Jesus had, such as the power to raise the dead from the grave. Believe it or not, Dollar is his real name.
==Financial history==
Dollar's ministry, as well as that of Benny Hinn, was the subject of a feeble Senatorial probe started in November of 2007 by Sen. Chuck Grassley, who alleged financial mismanagement and unjust enrichment.
In March 2015, Dollar begged asked his followers for a $65 million jet so he could jaunt about in style, asking for yet more money. His old jet is broken; maybe there's a nut missing? Dollar is estimated to be only worth $27 million, so it seems he can't afford it on his own.
===Possible repentance===
Recently, Dollar has been claiming to have renounced his views about tithing.
==Abuse allegations==
In June 2012, Dollar was arrested in an alleged choking and punching attack on his 15-year-old daughter. 
Dollar denied doing anything more than spanking her, after she became disrespectful, and blamed the incident on Satan. Quoting from ("False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not"), he told his congregation, "The devil knows in order to discredit the message, you have to first of all discredit the messenger." The charges were dropped after he attended anger management classes.

Crime

Crime refers to a breach of a law or rule. Crimes vary widely from a culture to a culture. Something can be a serious offense in one culture and punishable by death, while the same action may not be even considered a crime in another culture. For example, witchcraft was considered a serious offense during the Renaissance, but is not considered a crime in modern western society.
Things designated as crimes can be of two types, malum in se (something that is wrong in itself), and malum prohibitum (something that is wrong only because a government prohibits it). Things like murder, robbery, and rape are almost universally considered malum in se. selling alcohol to a 17-year-old, and possessing marijuana are examples of malum prohibitum. In reality, there exists a broad area of laws where it is not clear which category crimes belong in, for example: animal cruelty, and drinking-and-driving.
Another division of crimes distinguishes between misdemeanors and felonies. This classification scheme has a long tradition somewhere way back there in common law, but today seems like an arbitrary distinction, with legislatures designating ever more things as "felonies" to show how tough on crime they are, and inventing new "felonies" out of thin air such as "racketeering" and "money laundering" — whatever those are.
== (Un)reformed criminals ==
For example:
* Aung San Suu Kyi, sentenced for political crimes
* Mahatma Gandhi, who spent much of his career in British prisons for committing crimes of sedition
* Nelson Mandela, convicted terrorist
* jailed political dissident who became a national president
* Martin Luther King Jr., convicted and jailed for civil-rights activism
* Jesus of Nazareth, executed following charges of blasphemy and subversion
==Examples of crimes in Western culture==
*Child abuse
*Child pornography
*Child sexual abuse 
*Crimes against humanity
*Extrajudicial punishment
*Filicide
*Genocide
*Hate crimes
*Homicide
*Honor killings
*Human trafficking
