Chennai themselves to end that unbeaten streak.

Chennai were now just one point ahead of Kashmir, and two ahead of East Bengal who too were creeping into the title race. Chennai responded by scoring six in the next game, against Shillong Lajong, with another Manzi hat-trick.

Chennai started the second half of the season with three straight wins, each one a testament to their never-say-die attitude.

Against Gokulam Kerala, they trailed until the 60th minute before yet another Manzi hat-trick completed the turnaround. In the potential title decider against East Bengal, Chennai came from behind once again to win 2-1, Manzi netting the equalizer. Manzi would have a part to play even in the 4-3 win against Aizawl FC, chipping the keeper from 40 yards when the scores were level.

However, Chennaithen lost to Kashmir for a second time, blowing the title race wide open.

Chennai had 30 points, while Real Kashmir and East Bengal were on 28. Six games to go.

Real Kashmir did the double over Chennai City and were the only team apart from Churchill Brothers to beat them in the league. I-League media

The team won four of their next five games, but crucially blew a 3-0 lead against NEROCA to settle for a draw, which according to Nawas "felt like a defeat".

Chennai, though, kept their advantage intact going into the final day, so even after conceding in the third minute against Minerva, they were not flustered. Manzi, like he had all season, stepped up once again, equalising from the spot. Two more goals from Gaurav Bora followed,


and the party had officially begun. There were tears. There were hugs. Nawas was hoisted into the air in celebration.

Chennai City's season will be remembered for the football they played: quick, imaginative, creative, and when needed, full of heart.

A year ago, Chennai were trounced 7-1 at East Bengal and were narrowly clinging on to dear life. Today, they are I-League champions, having thwarted East Bengal's own push for the title.

All season long, questions were asked. All season long, Chennai answered them.a dark night.

hired by the American women’s magazine Marie Claire to take photographs for a story about infant rape in South Africa.

According to a 2009 report by Solidarity Helping Hand cited by Slate, South Africa leads the world in cases of sexual abuse targeting minors, with a child being raped every three minutes. The assignment struck a chord with Furrer, and she would spend the next 10 years interviewing and photographing victims, speaking to child services case workers and law enforcement agents, and researching the subject in depth.

The result of her work is a book, now available for purchase on Amazon, which features black-and-white photos, conversations, artwork and poetry documenting child sex abuse and its horrific impact on the lives of the victims, and the society at large.

Susanna, Venus andDylan are among the 17 survivors who are interviewed in the book. To protect the identities of the children, Furrer changed their names.

Susanna was 8 years old when she was initiated into a satanic cult where initiation activities included sexual abuse, gang rape and bestiality. As a result of the trauma she experienced, Susanna developed dissociative identity disorder and has over 200 identities, many of whom are self-mutilators.

Furrer supplemented the story with an image showing the legs of the survivor, who is now 24 years old, covered in cuts.

Venus was also 8 when she was stabbed through her heart and lung, raped, sodomized, strangled and left for dead. The perpetrator was a family friend.

Furrer’s book looks at the problem not only from the perspective of the survivors, social workers, police and prosecutors, but also from the side of pedophiles.

The photojournalist interviewed sex offenders to understand what motivated them and find out when they were first attracted to children.

Furrer's hope is that My Piece of Sky will start a worldwide conversation about the problem of child sex abuse and raiseawareness of the devastating and long-lasting effects of sexual violence on the victims' lives.

as Croatian troops launched a blitzkrieg against separatists who had seized the region in summer 1990 and driven out its Croat population.

With the biggest military operation in Europe since the second World War, Croatia would reclaim a vast swathe of land from Serb separatists and help force belligerent Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic to the negotiating table that autumn, when he agreed to end five years of conflict that had destroyed Yugoslavia.

This week, Croatia will mark 20 years since its troops surged back into Knin, putting Serb rebels to flight and securing the country’s territory and independence from a Belgrade poisoned by Milosevic’s bloody dream of a “Greater Serbia”.

A military parade is scheduled for Zagreb, while in Knin the country’s biggest Catholic church will be consecrated, a new monumentordered it, but they were aware of it and did not stop it – and Serb commanders have been found guilty in such cases,” said Vukelic (46), who fled Croatia with his family just before the operation and now lives in Serbia.

While Milosevic and many former senior Serb officers have been convicted for crimes committed during the Yugoslav wars, the Croatian generals who led Operation Storm were cleared of war crimes on appeal in 2012, and Tudjman and other wartime Croatian political leaders died soon after the conflict.

“Some Serb civilians were killed in the chaos after Storm. Croats came home to find their houses occupied or destroyed, and some people on both sides were drunk and crazy. But I never saw a Croatian soldier kill a civilian,” said


Serb politicians – with backing from Belgrade – rejected the authority of Tudjman and his government, blocked roads into their region and announced the creation of a Republic of Serb Krajina; about 80,000 Croats were driven from the region and local Serb rebels, backed by Yugoslav army troops, committed arbitrary killings of Croat civilians.

As Vukasovic and his comrades rode back into Knin in 1995, it was Serb civilians like Anja Raskovic and her family who were on the move, loading what they could into cars, tractors and trucks and fleeing for Bosnia and Serbia.

“Serb forces had already left, and offered no resistance. Knin was almost deserted,” Vukasovic said of the culmination of Operation Storm, which pitted about 130,000 Croatian troops against 30,000 Serb fighters.

Sherry Mathis

The investigator — a passion for people and the truth

Sherry MathisLooker and life-long investigator, both by trade and natural calling.

Location: Azusa, California

Looker Since: 2013

Special Skills: Pro Team

Sherry Mathis is a life-long investigator, both by trade and natural calling. The daughter of an immigrant from a small town in Mexico City, she has lived her entire life in Southern California and currently resides only a short distance from the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains near Los Angeles.

Sherry began her investigative career with a degree in Criminal Justice and later became an Inglewood, CA, police officer. She then became involved with retail investigations for a couple of large retailers. During her twelve years as an investigator of employee theft, she learned how to communicate with people andto capture pertinent information needed to process claims or conduct investigations.

The world is changing and people want more fulfillment out of their jobs.

One of the most impressive things about Sherry is her passion for people. She loves to make people happy with the work she does and the life she lives. With two sisters and a passel of nieces and nephews, Sherry craves the flexibility to spend time with her family while still providing for her needs.

In her pursuit of that perfect mix of work and life, Sherry began searching job boards for ways she could work from home. This is how she first learned about WeGoLook back in 2013. She signed up and has been Looking ever since completing about 15 to 25 Looks per month, on


average, while also working as a full-time caretaker. This arrangement has given her the opportunity to spend time with her family and friends on her own schedule.

According to Sherry, Looking enables her to stay connected to her investigative roots. Plus, she enjoys the particularly interesting Looks that come along from time to time. One of her favorites was when she had an opportunity to take photos of a pristine 2015 Maserati!

Sherry believes that staying comfortable with change and technology is the key to future success for herself and others. She enjoys adjusting her skillset and her mindset as things evolve around her. But, most importantly to Sherry, it is the people who matter most. Spending time with people is what keeps her motivated to continue her work noBulgarian Music

Examine the Music in Bulgaria

Bulgarian music, terminology, classification of instruments, and much more
examine the history from its earliest polyphony through to modern day.

There is a strong traditional culture in the region of the Balkans, across Southern Europe, the area to which Bulgaria belongs.

Bulgarian music is internationally famous for a number of reasons. Singers are well known for their special technique of constricting their throats, which strengthens and amplifies their voices. This action also gives them a unique sound. The complexity of both rhythm and harmony is another distinctive mark of this usually lively style of music.

There are several different types of musical instruments played in Bulgaria. Here are just a few:

The Gadulka is a string instrument related to rebec (similar to the violin).

A Gaida is a bagpipe


made from goatskin of which there are two variations, both differ in their tuning. These are called the Thracian or Rhodopi gaidas.

The Tarabuka (Dumbek) is a finger drum that is shaped like an hourglass.

The Tambura is a half pear shaped metal-strung lute.

The Tupan is a drum with a large frame - one side is struck with a beater called a Kiyak and the other side is struck with a thin stick called an Osier. For comfort, it is worn over the shoulder.

Electric instruments (guitars, basses), accordions, drum sets, saxophones and clarinets are used in parties to play Bulgarian dances or Wedding Music.

In folk Bulgarian music, there is a quantity of different regional styles: Rodopi, Sofia, Dobrudzha, Bulgarian Macedonia in the area of the Pirin Mountain, Thrace and theDanube coastline share the particularity of their unique sounds.

Folk music in Bulgaria is closely tied to celebrations and holidays such as Christmas, New Year's Day and midsummer, apart from the various feasts and fairs along the year. One clear example is the one of St. Lazarus, along with the rites performed in the area of Strandzha, precisely in Nestinarstvo. These rituals are famous because dancing participants, being in a trance, often dance on hot coals in the feasts that honour Saint Elena and Saint Konstantin, on May 21st.

Private celebrations and other gatherings joyful or not - involve several
music manifestations (e.g. weddings), and traditional singing for both men
and women is rather common. Women usually sang at some parties at work called
sedenka (usually attended by youngsters looking for partners), in


betrothal
rituals and ceremonies, and also for fun. However, Bulgarian music was also
present in some sad events of life - the lament, sung at funerals or in the
occasion of the departure of men for military service.

Apart from the special techniques implied in singing, the unique sounds of women are partly due to their unique polyphony, rhythms and harmony. The use of close intervals and their drone accompaniment, along with the melody also add a note of exotic atmosphere.

With Communism, some music activities were state-supported, but, of course, amateur or private musicians were not. They had to live outside the supported music sphere, which was not so bad, because without official support, wedding bands were not tied to the restrictions of the official regime on music. The lack of limitationsAlva Johnson, the former Trump campaign aide who accused President Donald Trump of forcibly kissing her during a campaign stop in 2016, dropped her lawsuit on Wednesday, weeks after video emerged casting doubt on her allegations.

Johnson, 44, sued Trump and the campaign on Feb. 25 for gender and race pay discrimination, as well as battery. She alleged that during a visit to Florida on Aug. 24, 2016, Trump grabbed her forcefully and kissed her against her will.

Judge William Jung dismissed Johnson’s case on June 14, saying that it was a “political lawsuit” rather than a “tort and wages” lawsuit. Jung said that Johnson could amend her complaint if she wanted, but Johnson decided on Wednesday not to proceed with the case.

In the suit, Johnson claimed that Trump treated


third and fourth Nines". In some colder places, the saying goes that "people even do not dare to take their hands out of the pocket due to coldness during the first and second Nines and they walk on ice during the third and fourth Nines". At the time when the situation on the Korean Peninsula is extremely grave (just like this freezing weather), it is encouraging that the DPRK and the ROK can extend the hands of goodwill towards each other and have a handshake.

The Chinese side welcomes the positive outcomes achieved at the high-level talks between the DPRK and the ROK. As we said many times, as a close neighbor of the Korean Peninsula, the Chinese side welcomes and supports the positive steps taken by the DPRKgot nothing meaningful in response," he told the BBC.

The UK's National Cyber Security Centre - contacted through friends with intelligence connections - was key in helping get the security problems solved, he added.

Common weakness

Clues that the HMRC site was vulnerable to attack were picked up by Zemnmez as he was using the site to check his taxes.

His expertise and experience in finding similar bugs on other websites suggested that the way the HMRC log-in system interacted with his browser left it vulnerable to some well-known attacks.

After a short period of experimentation, he found that it was possible to use the HMRC site as a "forwarding service" and send a victim to any site an attacker wanted.

The issue – known as "agricultural encroachment" – has happened incrementally over several decades, and is adding to the many pressures facing the region's internationally significant braided rivers and the rare ecosystems they host.

Environment Canterbury (ECan) research found that nearly 12,000 hectares of Canterbury's river margins had been taken over by intensive farming between 1990 and 2012.

SUPPLIED Intensive farming moving closer to the upper reaches of the Waimakariri River in the high country.

About 60 per cent of that land was developed through private land sales, but nearly one-quarter was public reserve land effectively privatised and developed.

Authorities in charge of public land all acknowledged


that land had been taken and developed without permission.

None of them were able to quantify how much, and in some cases, the encroacher was allowed to keep the land after meeting certain conditions.

The result had been a "massive transformation of riverbed margins" in Canterbury's lowlands, a problem now starting to spread into the high country, said Forest & Bird's Canterbury conservation manager Jen Miller.

"Forest & Bird has become increasingly concerned over what appears to be an increasing land grab of our public land in the high country for private economic use," she said

"Further, it is exacerbated by the failure of agencies such as DOC and LINZ, charged with managing this land, to actwhen they become aware of the illegal development occurring."

While not a braided river, ECan's data showed the Selwyn had lost 400 hectares of margin land since 1990.

ECan had taken enforcement action, including prosecutions, against people for illegally taking public land, he said.

The protection of braided rivers had its own chapter in the Canterbury Water Management Strategy (CWMS), and new rules introduced last year gave further protections, Chittock said.

"We need to be particularly aware of how land use change may impact stretches of our braided rivers in the high country, where we see a higher degree of natural character."

Ashburton farmer Chris Allen, who is Federated Farmers' environment spokesman, said it was in both farmers' and the community's interest to protect river margins from encroachment.

candidate as you can get. That isn't to say she doesn't have convictions, but she obviously sees conviction and policy as not quite the same things-policy is your best effort to put your convictions into practice, but it comes with the realization that pragmatic compromises may have to be made.

It's been noted about Sanders that he believes exactly the same things that he did when he first got involved in politics half a century ago, and that certainly isn't true of Clinton. She has moved and evolved, and more than anything else, she has changed as her party has changed. In the 1990s, she and her husband were at the vanguard of a movement that sought to bring a more centrist cast to the Democratic Party after threewas the environment in which Bill and Hillary Clinton made their reputation for centrism. Who she was then was a combination of her natural inclinations and a keen eye for the political risks and possibilities of the moment. On that basic level, she hasn't changed, but the environment has. The Democratic Party has moved to the left on many issues, from gay rights to immigration. At a time when the parties and their voters are polarized, and Democrats have significant demographic advantages at the national level, there's little to be gained by moving to the center. So Hillary Clinton is a much more liberal politician than she was 20 years ago.

And she continues to change. Just look at how she has reacted to the argument over the minimum

Fast forward several decades, and Williams has formalized his hobby on the pages of a new book, "Hiking Ohio," which describes in detail 83 recommended trails throughout the state.

Each suggested hike includes a description of the trail, including length and any historic or geographic highlights; amenities (restrooms, camping, etc.); a map; GPS coordinates and more. In addition, each hike is rated for its degree of difficulty, from one boot (easiest) to five (most difficult).

Williams, a retired librarian, lives in Wintersville, just west of Steubenville, and is a volunteer with the Buckeye Trail Association, which maintains and promotes the 1,440-mile trail that winds through Ohio. He has previously self-published four books on early Ohio history.

He recently agreed to answer a few questions about hiking in Ohio.

Question: I'm sure people notbevy of unusual rock formations, and hiking trails that lead to them all. We also have the Buckeye Trail, a 1,440-mile volunteer-built trail that loops around the state.

Question: Why 83 hikes? And how did you choose them?

Answer: Having 83 hikes in the book is an arbitrary number. The publisher (Human Kinetics) wanted the hikes to include at least 60 entities, such as individual state parks, nature preserves, state forests, or municipal parks. Most of these owning agencies have one hike described in the book, but some, such as Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Wayne National Forest and Hocking Hills State Park, have multiple hikes included. I chose the hikes as not necessarily the best in the state, but as a general overview. The hardest part was visiting a part


Congo: heading back to hell

NO CONFLICT since the 1940s has been bloodier, yet few have been more completely ignored. Estimates of the death toll in Congo between 1998 and 2003 range from roughly 1m to more than 5m—no one counted the corpses. Taking the midpoint, the cost in lives was higher than that in Syria, Iraq, Vietnam or Korea. Yet scarcely any outsider has a clue what the fighting was about or who was killing whom. Which is a tragedy, because the great war at the heart of Africa might be about to start again.

The cause of the carnage

To understand the original war, consider this outrageously oversimplified analogy. Imagine a giant house whose timbers are rotten. That was the Congolese state under Mobutu Sese Seko, the kleptocratic tyrantKabila’s son, Joseph, has been president since his father was shot in 2001. He has failed to build a state that does not prey on its people. Bigwigs still embezzle; soldiers mug peasants; public services barely exist. The law counts for little. When a judge recently refused to rule against an opposition leader, thugs broke into his home and raped his wife and daughter.

Mr Kabila was elected for a final five-year term in 2011. His mandate ran out in 2016, but he clings to the throne. He is pathetically unpopular—no more than 10% of Congolese back him. His authority is fading. He can still scatter protests in the capital, Kinshasa, with tear gas and live bullets. And few Congolese can afford to take a whole day off to


and intractable for outsiders to fix. It has long had predatory rulers, from the slave-dealing pre-colonial kings of Kongo to the Kabila family. Intrusive outsiders have often made matters worse, from the rapacious Belgian King Leopold II in the 19th century to the American cold warriors who propped up Mobutu for being anti-Soviet.

Nonetheless, the world should care and it can help. Congo matters mainly because its people are people, and deserve better. It also matters because it is huge—two-thirds the size of India—and when it burns, the flames spread. Violence has raged back and forth across its borders with Rwanda, Uganda, Angola, South Sudan and the Central African Republic.

Upon arriving in Darkside Heaven, the bracelet given to her by Malphas that makes her traps possible disappears, surprising her.

Drew Harris's Stealth Call for More Government Control

U.S. Health Care: We're Far From No. 1, reads the headline of an opinion piece by Drew Harris, director of the health policy program at the Jefferson School of Population Health in Philadelphia. Harris's piece, in fact, is not about American health care. It is a statistical study about the health and mortality of Americans in general, compared to other countries. Big difference. Harris cites a shorter American life expectancy, for which he blames high rates of adolescent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, baby deaths, smaller babies, heart and lung disease, obesity, diabetes (which is linked to obesity),& turn back statism: retaliatory force. Arguments, elections & all, even when effective, simply enable retaliatory force without actual violence, but it's still retaliatory force, and moral.

I got him Ticket to Ride Europe. :-)

And he also got Planet Earth fromfrom my family.

We already watched a couple of the episode of Planet Earth and it is awesome on Blu-Ray!!! We felt like we were right there! Stephen turned to me and said, "I feel like I should be holding my breath right now!" while we were watching an underwater                        No. 18‐2334

if  removed  to  Guinea  he  will  be  tortured  because  of  his
political  and  familial  aﬃliations  and  his  sexual  orientation.
Barry  has  failed  to  satisfy  his  burden  to  substantiate  these
claims with evidence, so we deny his petition.
                              I.
    Barry was born and grew up in Guinea. His father was a
member  of  the  Union  for  New  Republic  (“UNR”),  an
opposition political party in Guinea during the 1990s. In the
past,  the  Guinean  government—controlled  by  the  ruling
political  party  at  that  time—took  drastic  measures  to  locate
Barry’s father and prevent his political activities. Barry testi‐
fied at his immigration hearing that Guinean soldiers showed
up at his home when he was eight years old, stabbed him in
the thigh with a machete, and threatened to cut oﬀ his leg to
elicit  his  father’s  whereabouts  from  his  mother.  When  his
mother  did  not  comply,  the  soldiers  beat  her,


too.  Barry’s
mother  testified before the immigration judge in support of
Barry’s application for deferral under the Convention Against
Torture (“CAT”), reiterating the incident with the soldiers as
Barry described it. Barry is no longer in touch with his father
and  has  no  current  aﬃliation  with  any  Guinean  political
party,  including  the  UNR.  Moreover,  a  diﬀerent  political
party with a new president is now in power in Guinea.
    In 1998, shortly after the incident with the soldiers, Barry
and his mother left Guinea and arrived in the United States.
Barry  was  admitted  as  a  temporary  visitor.  Having  never
returned to Guinea, he is now thirty years old and has been
living  in  the  United  States  for  over  twenty  years.  Around
2009,  Barry  committed  various  crimes,  including  robbery,
controlled  substances  oﬀenses,  and  possession  of  a  firearm.
No. 18‐2334                                                                  3

Melbourne Victory has announced changes to its playing squad following the completion of its 2015/16 season.

Seven players will depart the club, including four who have previously been announced – Archie Thompson (released), Gui Finkler (signed by Wellington Phoenix), Kosta Barbarouses (signed by Wellington Phoenix) and Matthieu Delpierre (retired).

Murnane spent four years at the club and played 32 games, while Gallifuoco made nine appearances in his only season at Victory.

Sources also told Schefter that Brady came off as genuine, earnest and persuasive, addressing every issue raised in the league-sanctioned Wells report during Tuesday's long meeting.

One of the sources called it "an A-plus performance."

Brady was suspended by the NFL for his role in the use of deflated footballs in the Patriots' AFC Championship Game win over Indianapolis in January. He arrived at the NFL's Park Avenue offices Tuesday morning, as did attorney Jeffrey Kessler, who is leading Brady's defense.

Brady now must wait to find out whether his appeal carried any weight with NFL


commissioner Roger Goodell.

It was growing dark when Goodell left the league headquarters after he heard Brady and representatives from the players' union. League security said Brady also had left.

The hearing was expected to adjourn in late afternoon but carried well beyond that.

Patriots owner Bob Kraft, who is on a trip to Israel with a group of Pro Football Hall of Famers, sent a sworn affidavit backing Brady. One source said the affidavit was very compelling and had "almost a holy feel to it."

"I think we put in a very compelling case," Kessler said, adding that no timetable on a decision by Goodell had been given.

Kessler said he would have no further comment Tuesday night.

While Goodell was hearing myriad testimony, Brady supporters were outside, some wearing "Free Brady" T-shirts.champions illegally used underinflated footballs in the AFC title game.

Vincent has issued several fines and penalties for various infractions since replacing Ray Anderson as the NFL's executive vice president of football operations in March 2014.

He suspended former Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather two games in September 2014 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on a receiver. In several other cases, he fined teams or punished team officials for violating rules.

The NFLPA didn't question Vincent's authority in those incidents.

Goodell issued punishments to Greg Hardy, Adrian Peterson and Ray Rice in recent, high-profile cases involving players violating the league's personal conduct policy. The league doesn't consider Brady's case similar because it involved rules of the game.

Scientific arguments also were a major part of Brady's defense. Brady's lawyers tried to shoot down the findings

Star Daniel Craig and director Sam Mendes were so worn down with expectation for this particular Bond film, set for release during the franchise’s 50th anniversary year, than when Daniel requested he wear his brand new leather gloves in a scene, Sam didn’t argue.

Suffix numbers on private plates can be as low as one digit and therefore technically the "first number" is 10-1.

 Registration platesGreece and Rome, the state supported religion was regarded as the one true and official religion. At the trial of Socrates, the great philosopher was called atheos because he did not subscribe to the Gods of the State (that is state recognized religion) and practised private beliefs. Likewise, in a curious irony, early Christians were persecuted by the Romans for being atheists as well since they did not subscribe to pagan beliefs. In medieval Europe, Catholics called heretics, Protestants and dissenting priests atheists simply because they did not accept official Church doctrine.

In terms of atheism as it means todayi.e., disbelief in god(s) to various extremesthe Greek Sophists and Atomists were more important. They were the ones who started criticizing Greek myths as merely elaborate fabrications of Kings and


Emperors raised to Gods. They also started describing the natural world using language stripped of metaphors. To them, Greek myths and its multiple gods were merely anthropomorphized representations of natural phenomena and fancy metaphors. The philosopher Theodoros of Cyrene even exposed the Elusinian Mystery Cult and criticized religion as largely a money-making scam in terms that are fairly modern. One Diagoras of Melos was called "The Atheist", and possibly was the first philosopher in the West to explicitly disbelieve in gods. This more skeptical worldview can also be seen in the plays of Euripides, roughly contemporary to these changes. He was often accused by critics of lacking in piety; in his plays, gods and Greek heroes are often depicted in down-to-earth fashion, speaking everyday language, as opposed tosuch as the Carvaka, Samkhya and Mimamsa. In China, Confucius developed a philosophy of education, curiosity, and learning that explicitly distanced itself from metaphysical and spiritual questions, noting that such concepts, even if true, were generally available and valuable to the very few, and that society as a whole should be considered with materially improving life for everyone. Likewise, Charles Darwin, in describing his voyages to South America, stated that some native tribes did not even have a word for god and organized their society without any identifiable religion (and therefore cannot explicitly be called atheists, since they never believed in god to start with), noting that it refuted the idea that religion or belief was intrinsic or heritable, rather than cultural and acquired. During the golden age


of the Arab world, several writers such as Omar Khayyam, Averroes, Ibn al-Rawandi and Abu Bakr al-Razi expressed ideas that stressed education, materialism and criticized infallibility of religious truths, expressing a naturalistic worldview that would supersede religious explanations. The freethinker Al-Maʿarri likewise regarded religion as a fable invented by the ancients. Even in the Catholic Church, Saint Augustine, a former Manichaean (an African heretical sect), stated that he considered the Bibles fantastic stories as largely embellished to be accessible to the common man. He dismissed literal interpretations of the Bibles account for creation, noting that as and when science advanced with superior explanations, it should supplant existing Biblical interpretations. This was the defense which Galileo (who was a religious man) usedunsuccessfullyin his trial argument for a heliocentric modelof the solar system.note The dispute there being over whether the heliocentric model were a better explanation—most scientists at the time didnt think so.

Modern atheism first found voice in the course of The Enlightenment and The French Revolution, largely as a consequence of the debate about separation between church and state. It was accompanied by Deism at first. Philosophers such as Spinoza, Voltaire, and Rousseau advocated belief in a distant, immaterial, non-human deity who governed by naturali.e., scientificlaws. Deism attacked Christian intolerance and superstition and advocated science and democracy. The deists argued that religion should have no place in politics and that society should be free to discuss different ideas and should have total religious tolerance. In the Revolution, graffiti stating Death is an Eternal Sleep often defaced


churches and cemeteries. Cathedrals and altar pieces were subject to petty and creative vandalism, giving free public expression to atheist ideas for the first time in Western history. During the Reign of Terror, atheist and deist revolutionaries briefly de-Christianized France entirely. Inspired by the Revolution, romantic poet Percy Shelley wrote a pamphlet titled The Necessity of Atheism,note Though he was actually a pantheist. and the idea was common in Romantic, Revolutionary and Decadent circles. Politically and philosophically, Friedrich Nietzsche noted that with the Revolution, God is Deadi.e., the all-powerful ideal of God, even among liberal believers, was not the same in an age gradually supplanted by scientific, philosophical and political changes.
