Covenant marriage

{{Christianity}}
'''Covenant marriage''' is a relatively new (and fortunately unpopular)<ref name="about">Sheri & Bob Stritof. [http://marriage.about.com/cs/covenantmarriage/a/covenant.htm Covenant Marriage Statistics]. ''About.com''.</ref> idea promoted by some American [[social conservatism|social conservative]]s 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 [[Domestic violence|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 [[Domestic violence|abusive]] marriage, similar to how abusive boyfriends often manipulate their girlfriends not to report abuse.<ref name="about"/> 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."<ref>John Scalzi. [http://www.scalzi.com/whatever/003416.html "Covenant Marriage is Stupid"]. ''Whatever''. 2005 February 16.</ref>

==Legality==
Fortunately, as of 2018, only four states allow covenant marriage: [[Arizona]], [[Arkansas]], [[Kansas]], and [[Louisiana]].<ref name="about"/> (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''.<ref>[https://www.lawinfo.com/resources/divorce/california/what-are-the-grounds-for-divorce-in-californi.html What are the Grounds for Divorce in California?] ''Lawinfo''.</ref>

Creation Moments

{{crenav}}
'''Creation Moments''' is a [[Fundamentalist Christianity|fundamentalist Christian]], [[young earth creationist]] organization, which describes itself as an "interdenominational Christian outreach program."<ref name="about">[https://creationmoments.com/about-us/ About us]. creationmoments.com.</ref> The organization seeks to promote fundamentalist Christian ideals among individuals, students, churches and [[Home schooling|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.<ref>[https://archive.is/PMD9P Lungfish take a bite out of evolution]. Archived from the original at creationmoments.com.</ref> 

Creation Moments is the latest incarnation of an early creationist outfit known as the Bible Science Association.<ref>[https://archive.is/2Bjmv Bible-science newsletter]. Archived from the original at creationism.org.</ref> 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: <ref name="about" />
# A [[Biblical literalism|literal interpretation]] of creation as presented in the Bible
# The existence of scientific evidence for the Bible
# [[Intelligent design|Divine design]] and purpose in nature
# A [[global flood]] (as described in Genesis)
# Special creation (uniqueness)
# Christ-centered scientific research
# [[Evidence against a recent creation|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 [[Jesus with erection|rose again]].

Creation Social Science and Humanities Quarterly

{{crenav}}{{DISPLAYTITLE:''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?).<ref>[http://www.creationism.org/ Creationism.org]</ref> The journal is no longer in publication, though past articles are available.<ref>[http://www.creationism.org/csshs/ Creationism.org: Articles from all Editions]</ref> 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.<ref>CSSHSQ: [http://www.creationism.org/csshs/ind_auth.htm Author index]</ref> 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 [[creationist]]s branch out of their usual narrow focus on evolution and delight us with hilarious articles on topics like "Creation and Inflation".

Creation Today

{{DISPLAYTITLE:''Creation Today''}}{{creationnav}}
'''''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.<ref>Kyle Winkler, {{cite news | url= http://issuu.com/cseministry/docs/ct-current-winter-2011 | title= We Are Now Creation Today | publisher= Creation Today Current | date= Winter 2011 | accessdate = 2014-11-14}} page 4</ref> The name-change is likely due to the negative attention and criticism about Creation Science Evangelism and the Hovinds.<ref>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." [http://www.kenthovindblog.com/?p=139 Knee-Mail: "It's Not Over"]</ref>

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 God | 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 [[creationism | 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.

Creationist time

{{crenav}}
'''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 [[Evidence against a recent creation|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 number<ref>Like 0.000000438 but hey who's counting?</ref>, 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:

''P<sub>o</sub>=Period of time as Old Earth''<br />
''P<sub>y</sub>=Period of time as Young Earth''<br />
<math>P_o\times\, \frac{6000}{4.54\times 10^9} \, =P_y </math> 

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]].

Crime

{{sources needed}}[[File:Crime icon.png|right|165px]]{{crimenav}}
'''Crime''' refers to a breach of a [[law]] or rule. Crimes vary widely from one culture to another 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''. {{wpl|Digital piracy|Downloading pirated music|,}} 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 [[moral panic|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
* {{wpl|Vaclav Havel}} 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

*Child pornography
*[[Child sexual abuse]] 
*[[Crimes against humanity]]
*[[Extrajudicial punishment]]
*[[Filicide]]
*[[Genocide]]

Crime of contempt

{{law}}
'''Insult assault''', '''Crime of contempt''' or '''Offense of context'''(모욕죄) refers to a crime committed by publicly insulting a person.

Many advanced countries, including [[Europe]], [[Japan]] and the [[United States]], have had their "crime of contempt" unenforced or repealed. On the other hand, [[South Korea]] still regards this as a crime even though it infringes on [[freedom of speech]].

The bigger problem is that public figures such as celebrities and politicians are over-issuing criminal lawsuits related to offense-of-context charges against ordinary citizens. 

For example, this is the latest case. Around August 2019, left-wing nationalist woman netizens denounced conservative right-wing politician 'Na Kyung-won'(나경원) as "pro-Japanese bitch" and "Whore of Shinzō Abe". In response, Na sued 170 netizens who used abusive language against him on the net. (Even though I didn't swear directly at Na Kyung-won.)<ref>[https://www.msn.com/ko-kr/news/other/%EB%82%98%EA%B2%BD%EC%9B%90-%EC%95%85%EC%84%B1%EB%8C%93%EA%B8%80-%EC%93%B4-%EB%88%84%EB%A6%AC%EA%BE%BC-170%EB%AA%85-%EA%B3%A0%EC%86%8C%E2%80%A6%EB%88%84%EB%A6%AC%EA%BE%BC-%EB%B0%98%EC%9D%91%EC%9D%80/ar-AAFwG8D 나경원, 악성댓글 쓴 누리꾼 170명 고소…누리꾼 반응은]. 8 Aug 2019. ''서울신문''</ref>

This complaints involving offense of context is a common occurrence in South Korea. The [[UN]] is concerned about Korea's freedom of expression and called for the abolition of the offense of context law, but a majority of politicians and public figures in Korea oppose a repeal of the law.

Ironically, South Korea's conservative forces argue that freedom of expression is limited in this matter, and [[hate speech]] also shows an absurd [[double standard]], which they claim is freedom of expression.

Most developed countries do not criminally punish the 'Crime of contempt', which is only a minor swearing contention, but the hate speech related to minority groups is clearly criminal. The UN is also calling on the South Korean government to abolish the 'Crime of contempt' and instead create a law that punishes hate speech.

In short, even if homophobia say to unspecified homosexuals, "The faggot is psychotic and should be treated.", you cannot punish them (because there is no law in S.Korea that punishes hate speech), but if a gay person becomes angry and calls him "son of bitch",  homophobia cub will be able to punish him with 'Crime of content'.

Crimen sollicitationis

{{title-italics}}{{christianity}}
'''''Crimen sollicitationis''''' was a 1962 decree issued by the [[Vatican]]  that laid out the procedures for dealing with [[Roman Catholic]] [[priest]]s who solicit [[sex]] from parish congregants during [[confession]].  It was also used as the instruction manual for investigating [[child sexual abuse]] [[Priest molestation scandal|by priests]]. This updated a similar decree issued in 1922.<ref>Thomas Doyle, [http://www.richardsipe.com/Doyle/2008/2008-10-03-Commentary%20on%201922%20and%201962%20documents.pdf ''The 1922 Instruction and the 1962 Instruction "''Crimen Sollicitationis,''" Promulgated by the Vatican''], 2008</ref>

Written in [[Latin]], the ''Crimen'' was sent to every diocese around the world, where it was locked away from all eyes except for those priests who were commissioned with investigating accusations of sexual abuse by priests. Instead of using the ''Crimen'' to punish and dismiss priests, diocese investigators used it to silence the accusers.<ref>Johann Hari, [http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/commentators/johann-hari/johann-hari-the-pope-the-prophet-and-the-religious-support-for-evil-1923656.html "The Pope, the Prophet, and the religious support for evil"], ''The Independent'', 2010.</ref>   Section 11 of the ''Crimen'' required that all testimony given in such cases be sealed. Anyone caught discussing the testimony at these tribunals was to be [[excommunication|excommunicated]]. This may have even included the victims of the abuse and their parents, families, and friends.<ref>[http://www.vatican.va/resources/resources_crimen-sollicitationis-1962_en.html INSTRUCTION On the Manner of Proceeding in Causes involving the Crime of Solicitation]. The victims, parents, families, and friends are, presumably, covered by the phrase "... those delegated, questioned or informed ..."</ref>

Although it was replaced by the ''[[Sacramentorum sanctitatis tutela]]'' in 2001, many abuse victims are still afraid of being excommunicated if they discuss their cases.  During the last 20 years that the ''Crimen'' was enforced, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger — later [[Pope]] [[Benedict XVI]] — was the edict's lead enforcer.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/panorama/5402928.stm Transcript] of [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/help/3681938.stm "Sex crimes and the Vatican"], a BBC documentary.</ref>

'''CrimethInc.''' is an [[United States|American]] [[anarchist]] and [[moonbat]] organization that tends to subscribe to the "lifestyle" school of [[anarchism]]. It's probably best known for its extreme viewpoints on virtually ''[[Proll|everything]]'', most especially work which they typically view as a form of [[slavery]] that must be abolished if true individual [[freedom]] is to be achieved. The word 'crimethink' comes from [[George Orwell]]'s novel ''1984'', meaning [[thoughtcrime]].

They take their views rather farther than usual, such as opposing the domestication of any animals,<ref>[http://www.crimethinc.com/texts/days/domestication.php Which they nearly equate to the Holocaust]</ref> supporting crimes (such as shoplifting<ref>http://www.crimethinc.com/texts/days/shoplifting.php</ref>), and endorsing… ''[[Insane|interesting]]'' characters like the [[Unabomber]]. Like most lifestylists, they write about the joys of dumpster diving and generally living outside modern society.

They are more well-known specifically for their opposition to [[democracy]], which they constantly lambast as being detrimental to individual autonomy. Their dislike of it has resulted in ire from traditional left-[[libertarian]] anarchists who argue that democracy, despite not being an entirely flawless solution, is a necessity in maintaining anarchist societies once they are effected.<ref>[http://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/wayne-price-are-anarchism-and-democracy-opposed?v=1479420492 Here is a good counterargument made by a traditional anarchist against Crimethinc's stance on the issue]</ref>

Such views have naturally resulted in Crimethinc. gaining a reputation as a host to [[bourgeois]] post-left anarchist beliefs rather than a genuinely good, seriously minded source of anarchist [[philosophy]].{{fact}}
