I think the Saudi Government is the religious crazies. They have very strict religious laws and excessive punishments for minor infractions.

Moral Enforcer
by Coded Logic inever wonder what it would look like if the watchtower ran a country?
this is one of the most insightful articles i've read in a long time about the religious police in saudi arabia.
some really eye opening stuff about what it's like to live under sharia law and the problems it creates - even for the head of the commission for the promotion of virtue and the prevention of vice in mecca.. definitely worth the read!.

"How come you JWs are so invasive with everyone until the Bible comes out? Soon as the Bible comes out you want to run away."
That guy really hit the nail on the head!

Liberty is a great means to an end. We use our liberties to promote societal health and human happiness. But my problem with the Libertarian movement is they completely flip it around and value liberty OVER societal health and happiness.
Liberty - in degrees - is fundamental to fairness and equality. But liberty - as an absolute - is just plain chaos. We live in societies because we know that working together we can achieve exponential more than if we all worked on our own. And Libertarianism seems to ignore this basic truth. Freedom is about how we can all work together with the maximum amount of liberty. But freedom isn't infinite liberty.

Why are the least informed people the most opinionated?
by Coded Logic inwhile trying to have a conversation with a trump supporter today i realized the person knew next to nothing about the us constitution, world events, trumps flip-flops, hillary's e-mails, etc.. i have sense decided it is much easier to do absolutely no research and boldly make broad proclamations rather than read up on a particular topic and make concise points.
as such, i will now be telling you why tim kaine was the worst governor new jersey has ever had:.
under tim kaine new jersey gdp dropped by 97%.. humming birds were able to penetrate restricted airspace.. the bridge to missouri kept getting closed.. he made the state look weak by having a state flower.. all the hard working i-pad miners lost their jobs.. and he set up obamacare death panels that were run by isis in planned parenthood vegan centers..

Cancer has been with us for a long time
by Coded Logic ina 2 million year old hominid has been discovered that had cancer in its foot - making it the oldest neoplasia found in the human lineage.
now, as to why cancer predates original sin by nearly 2 million years, i'd love to hear christian apologists try and explain.. http://sajs.co.za/osteogenic-tumour-australopithecus-sediba-earliest-hominin-evidence-neoplastic-disease/patrick-s-randolph-quinney-scott-williams-maryna-steyn-marc-r-meyer-jacqueline-s-smilg-steven-e.

That's why they are referred to as apes and not humans.
- VidqunHumans are apes. We belong in the category of "ape" much in the same way we belong in the category of mammals. But australopithecus isn't just an ape. It belongs to in even more specific sub category - hominin - of which we humans also belong. But chimpanzees do NOT belong.
You're trying to draw a distinction saying australopithecus and chimpanzees belong to a group different from humans. When, in fact, the complete opposite is true. Australopithecus and humans belong to a group that chipmanzees do not belong to.
