The human race persists in its willingness to destroy itself and most other higher organisms for selfish economic and ideological reasons, all of them short term.

The Wisdom of Carl

Christians are always impressed by the reported appearances of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and of various saints who pass on a message, usually to a child or someone simple, that the local church should be repaired or that people must try harder not to swear. Carl Sagan asks why these admonitions are so prosaic — why not important and prophetic messages recognizable as profound enough to have come only from God. No miraculous vision criticized the torturing and burning of innocent people unjustly, when they had been falsely accused of being witches. Could these supernatural saints not grasp its evil? And why is Mary always ordering the poor peasant to inform the authorities? Why doesn’t she appear to the authorities herself? There is simply nothing convincing in any of this unless presumably you have been indoctrinated into it from childhood.

Before you go, think about this…

By reading the Bible, I am forced to the conclusion that those who accept it literally haven’t actually read the book, but I could be wrong. Maybe they didn’t understand what they were reading.
Paul Lutus
Give or take a few, it’s been 23763 months since the first coming of Christ ended. The Rapture can’t be long now… Can it?
