One of this week's science magazines had an article about humans being genetically wired to believe in God. If this is so, those who turn away from God will be predisposed to believe in something else.



From a different study - Jewish New Yorkers responded overwhelmingly in the positive when asked if they agreed with the following statement: "I feel good about paying taxes because I know that my contribution is helping people in need."

Is this just another great example of how our tax dollars are "helping people in need?"

Catholic or nonreligious teens are most willing to believe in them

Is this the first tax dollar study that has lumped Catholics and nonbelievers together?

I don't believe in astronomy, but there may be something to ESP. Back in high school science class during a color sensory experiment, I freaked out the class by being able to identify construction paper color by merely holding my hand over it while being blind folded. I could also identify playing cards by only looking at the backs (unmarked!) which eventually scared me so much I refuse to try it now.

I'm a strong believer in physics, especially the fourth law of nature - gravity sucks. My dog really likes that one when I drop a slice of ham on the floor. Then the fifth law of physics, written by dogs, kicks in - "It's mine, and watch it disappear in two seconds."

I'd like to see practitioners of physics open parlors on street corners to answer serious questions like: I tossed seven pairs of socks in the washing machine, and now one sock is missing. What law of physics applies, where did it go and are washing machines really fifth dimension portals?

What? It's psychics we're talking about, not physics? Oh, sorry. Never mind...

This is hardly surprising. Long ago, I saw how the entire "psi" community was indelibly connected to "democrat party" philosophies.

... and it's okay for the "dead to vote". snort.

I cant find the exact scripture right now, but God warns Christians to stay away from the paranormal (not His exact Words).

If God tells us to keep away from it - it must be real, right?
