Re: On Humanism and Religion

Re: On Humanism and Religion

If you add a historical aspect to the clock, you'd probably find that over time, the two major offenders in the religious atrocities department pretty much even each other out.

Re: On Humanism and Religion

Well, yes. How can anything be true if it isn't based on observable fact :confused:

The opinion itself doesn't have to be true, of course. That being said, if it isn't grounded in fact it will...
