All Google Images for \u2018hacking\u2019 are dumb, but some are more delightfully so<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

When a Christian church got tagged with atheist-themed\u00a0graffiti last year, I chipped in for repairs, along with a lot of other atheists<\/a>. \u00a0(I ended up with post-length mixed feelings<\/a> but still think it was the right decision). \u00a0And now it turns out I\u2019ve converted just in time for another \u201cSorry about our team\u2019s bad behavior\u201d fundraiser.<\/p>\n

Adam Lee of Daylight Atheism reports that the Secular Student Alliance is getting a lot of DDoS attacks<\/a>, and they\u2019ve had to pay to up their servers just to deal with this threat. \u00a0Since money is fungible, that means less is allocated toward their work, and the terrorists win. \u00a0Adam is asking Christians to consider chipping in as a rebuke to the people targeting the SSA and to help them return to the status quo ante bellum<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Cyberterrorism as heckler\u2019s veto pisses me off. \u00a0It ticks me off enough for me to make my entire senior thesis an attempt to lay out my objections in a rigorous, political philosophy kinda way<\/a>. \u00a0I\u2019m chipping in, and I hope you readers will consider joining me.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re having a fight about philosophy and truth, you have to fight fair, or else you\u2019re not keeping your powder dry. \u00a0Your intellect, your virtue, your honor are your weapons, and if you compromise them to score cheap points or kick the other man in the shins, you\u2019ve forfeited the tools you need to be able to win if you\u2019re right and to be able to recognize that you\u2019ve lost if you\u2019re wrong.<\/p>\n

So give to negate the effect of people behaving badly. \u00a0If you feel awkward about giving to a group whose ends you oppose, I\u2019d remind you that a lot of the work the SSA does is being beat cop for violations of church\/state stuff, which should be a lot more universally compelling than it is<\/a>. \u00a0But if you oppose their mission, I might suggest matching your SSA donation with one to your parish, or to a GiveWell-vetted charity<\/a>, so that you\u2019re getting a spur to contribute more to a cause you support.<\/p>\n
