Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

There's been a lot of rewriting of what deism really is over the last decade so that Libertarians like Ron Paul can claim it as their own without crawling too far away from the Republican Party. (Much like Libertarianism itself has been rewritten.)
In my book, if you want to know Deism get to know Voltaire.
I've been on the fence of atheism and deism since the early-to-mid-90's. Trust me here, I know what I'm talking about.
Plus one on the nifty and fairly thorough chart though.
ETA: The tag-line that accompanied real Deism back in the day was: "The Scientists Religion". Thus the obvious need for a modern rewrite of its definition and roots.
