I don't see much problem wit religions as long as they don't decide to kill anybody who doesn't believe what they believe.

What's his name said that the universe is not only more complicated than we understand , but it is more complicated than we can understand.

Although I don't have any faith I also know that I really don't know shit in the scheme of things.

I just don't think religions have anything to do with existence. Could be wrong about that to.

Only when applied to fellow true believers of faith. Others of different ideologies history has shown apparently very little concern or conscience projected.

LOL, nobody does when it comes to the nature of the universe.


Google Dipole Repeller and Shapley Attractor when you are bored sometime.

And, we may not know much more as a percentage of what there is to know than cave men around a campfire since we have no idea of what there is to know.

That's what gets me about people who "believe" shit.

I remember seeing lots of those on college campuses,and sometimes even in the workplace.

Really? So who is it that wants to ditch Dodd Frank so the big Wall Street banks can get back to screwing everyone in sight?
