National Day of Secularism
May the 26th
I have been tagged by Beep Beep, the wise sage responsible for Beep! Beep! It's Me.
How the “meme” works
This “meme” works in two steps; first the “Tagging stage” and then the “Blog against theocracy stage”. (the word "meme" incidentally, is one of the most pretentious words doing the rounds of the internet)
Tagging stage
If you are tagged by the meme, then it’s the same old format; mention this entry so people can see the rules and then tag five other bloggers (preferably Australian given the nature of the NDoT.).
Blog against theocracy stage
If you have been tagged then in addition to tagging others, it is also hoped that you will write a blog entry about the separation of Church and State in Australia. It could be a critique of Pell’s “normative democracy”, the historic anti-democracy sermonizing of Archbishop Daniel Mannix, inevitable discrimination by the funding of (approved) chaplains in public schools, the state backed imposition of bans on forbidden women’s dress or whatever Church-State issue you find important.
Preferably, such a blog entry would be published on the 26th, but there is no deadline as such. Just a couple of caveats:1) the church-state anti-theocracy blog entry should mention the phrase “National Day of Thanksgiving”, possibly mentioning that the entry is a response to the NDoT, and
2) feel free to add the (again admittedly modest) banner.
I don't really know all that many Australian bloggers, and Beep and Plonka have already been tagged, but I will tag those I do know:
1. The Second Sight
2. Crazy World
3. Contempt
I'll have to leave the rest open.

LOL at the wise sage. Careful, my head will get too big to fit on my blog. ;)
heh heh heh!
Hey Dikki - poke some fun this way! (Don't know if you caught that Robert Winston doco, but it's the same place he visited.)
I'm going to have to see Winston's doco now. I thought it look ed interesting at the time - Winston appears to be a typical moderate theist, and from what I've heard presents things in a balanced light.
AiG's review shitcans the bejesus out of it, so you know it's gotta be good.
