1. Hebrew University researcher: Moses was tripping at Mount Sinai

The article states: "And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the horn, and the mountain smoking." Thus the book of Exodus describes the impressive moment of the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai.

Does anyone besides me think it strange that a book called the torah tells the story of someone getting the book called the torah?

2. State Approves Evolution As 'Scientific Theory'

Wow, they are going to teach a "scientific theory" in the science classroom? This is the begining of the end. Next they will want to teach mathatical theory in the math classroom? Where does this slippery slope end?

3. Highway to hysteria

Amazing to me that most ex-gays claim it takes years to "recover" from homosexuality, but this guy did it at the touch of a street preacher? I doubt it.

Why is it that god is happy to cure the gay people but refuses to help war vets grow back limbs?

Quotes of Note:

"It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so."

Sir Arthur C. Clarke

"The objections to religion are of two sorts - intellectual and moral. The intellectual objection is that there is no reason to suppose any religion true; the moral objection is that religious precepts date from a time when men were more cruel than they are and therefore tend to perpetuate inhumanities which the moral conscience of the age would otherwise outgrow."

Bertrand Russell

"Like computer viruses, successful mind viruses will tend to be hard for their victims to detect. If you are the victim of one, the chances are that you won't know it, and may even vigorously deny it."

Richard Dawkins

"Group selection of any kind is not Darwinism as Darwin understood it nor as I understand it."

Richard Dawkins

"To enslave a man, then dope him to make him content! Do you call THAT a solace? . . . The honest fact is that the greatest hindrance to the progress of the Negro is that same dope that was shot into him during slavery. . . . The slogan of the Negro devotee is: Take the world but give me Jesus, and the white man strikes an eager bargain with him. . . . Another fact — there are far too many Negro preachers. Religion is the most fruitful medium for exploiting this already exploited group. As I said, the majority of the sharpers, who among the whites would go into other fields, go, in this case, to the ministry."

Joel Augustus Rogers
