When you refer to Christian scholars as “scholars”, is it because you think you are smarter than them?
I do not think I am smarter than Christian “scholars”. I am simply more honest than they are. I keep the website because Christians are liars and cheats. I call them “scholars” with the quizzical marks because scholars are meant to be honest enquirers after truth, not obfuscators, destroyers and disturbers of evidence. They have consistently rewritten history to suit themselves, thus proving the Christian dogma, but the world and history is pretty big, and even Christians with 1000 years of total control in Europe have been unable to get rid of all the clues. Fortunately the clues, unlike Christian mythology, make a lot of sense.
I offer what I have discovered to enlighten others—not particularly Christians, who have closed their minds and even their eyes and ears to the truth.

Before you go, think about this…
Creationists are trying to pick and choose research results that fit the Jewish scriptures. Research workers in Moslem countries have complained that they have been prevented from publishing findings contrary to Islamic teaching. No one can dissent from the supposed words of God or the Prophet under Fundamentalist dogma, yet they are never content to keep their dogmas to themselves. Everyone else must obey them too. Free thinkers must be on guard against the bid to take over the free society and turn it into one theocracy or another.

When blindfolded patients are deceived into believing they’re being touched by a leaf such as poison ivy or poison oak, an ugly red contact dermatitis often develops. It is a symptom produced by the mind. What faith-healing may help are mind-mediated or placebo diseases — some back and knee pains, headaches, stuttering, ulcers, stress, hay fever, asthma, hysterical paralysis and blindness, and false pregnancy. These are all diseases in which the state of mind may play a key role. In the late medieval cures associated with apparitions of the Virgin Mary, most were of sudden, short-lived, whole-body or partial paralyses that are plausibly psychogenic. It was also held that only devout believers could be so cured. It’s no surprise that appeals to a state of mind called faith can relieve symptoms caused in part by a realated state of mind.
