All of their multiple personalities got together and out-voted the psychologist who said that they all (all of the one person) is insane.
Religious freedom is good, unless it violates the law or morality. Thus, human sacrifice should be banned, even though the 1st Amendment grants religious...
Many cultures eat parts (hearts, etc.) of sacrificed victims to let them live on in the tribesmembers. That is, if they eat their heart, they are still "sort of" alive in the tribe. It isn't to harm the victim, it is to give immortality.
Iraq: A Population Silenced
Many modern Christians frown on religions that practice human sacrifices.
The official United States State Department website, above, states that Saddam Hussein ordered 30,000 Iraqis in 60 villages killed with mustard gas. Additionally, religious and ethnic...
I think that there is an element of truth (and an element of God) in almost all religions.
The Christian bible makes it clear that worship of mammon can overshadow worship of God.
I believe that worship (or reverence) of human preachers can similarly diminish worship of God. Take, for...
There should be a separation of church and state. That means that the Federal government should not respect one religion over another.
Increasingly, religious dogma is polarizing elections.
Furthermore, it seems that the religion are following Satan (must be a member of the National Rifle...
You don't have to look very hard to find pretty underaged girls, carrying their new born babies, and living on the streets. Their families, embarrassed about the scandal, and at their wits end about taming their irrepressible child, have chosen to abandon them to the street.
It is easy to feel...
Some might argue that the bible is something like binoculars. That is, we might not notice things, unless we have some kind of aid to allow us to understand (or see) better.
Before the comet hit Jupiter, scientists thought that the chances of a comet hitting earth were very remote.
FEWER INVENTIONS (President Ronald Reagan didn't understand the value of intellectual property rights (patents).
Reagan’s Executive Order 12591-1
President Reagan's Executive Order 12591-1 (Extending the Bayh-Dole Act to all Federal contracting):

The world is getting worse now, and we are in the end times. Many have predicted it. End times began when President W. Bush (and his father) attacked Iraq (according to the bible, in the chapter called Revelation).
How much does the sky change in a few thousand years?
The website, above, shows that the sky changes with time. Even 5,000 years might be enough time to see some changes.
It seems that bird dances and bright plumage is preferred over intelligence.
Some say that welfare causes reverse natural selection. Natural selection should allow the poor to die, and breed the rich with the rich.
Some say that the poor have more kids, and that might "dumb down" the...
I noted the pock marked moon and large craters on earth, and often thought that it is possible that a meteor could wipe out all life. It wasn't until the Shoemaker-Levy-9 comet collided with Jupiter that scientists took it seriously. Now we have near-earth object tracking, but that is not...
The sun will turn into a red giant, engulfing the planets and killing all life in billions of years. But in far less time, the human species will have evolved. Probably humans are too stupid to stay alive for much longer. Humans pollute the planet, make wars, build nukes, etc. I think that...
If no mass can escape from the universe, it seems to me it could be deemed a black hole. I've always been told that a black hole would crush us if we got near it. Apparently, we are not crushed inside this black hole (if it is a black hole).
Apparently time doesn't exist outside of the...
Premise 1: Only a maniac would drive a car down a sidewalk.
Premise 2: You might get run over by a maniac.
Premise 3: You likely would not be run over by a non-maniac.
Conclusion: It is safer to walk down the middle of a road than on a sidewalk.
Sometimes logic scares me.
We think of a...
Science interferes with religion. Theists say that the universe is 6,000 years old, and scientists say that it is 13.8 billion years old.
Therefore, reading also interferes with religion.
If the world really was done with intelligent design, the designer would have been a genius. But, all indications are that the world naturally occurred. Natural Selection accounts for the increased complexity of life.
I think that inbreeding creates mutations, and this allows natural...
