LoveUniHateExams:
Most British politicians keep their beliefs to themselves.

They're more like Thomas Jefferson than US Republicans:

"...on the subject of religion, a subject on which I have ever been most scrupulously reserved. I have considered it as a matter between every man and his maker, in which no other, & far less the public had a right to intermeddle."

Thomas Jefferson to Richard Rush, May 31st, 1813. From The Online Library of Liberty: The Writings of Thomas Jefferson - Volume XI, Page 292

Does anyone here watch the walking dead?

by Butyoucanneverleave in

if so, what did you think about tonight's season finale?

Are you trying to spoil it for those who only have Netflix? I saw the first 5 seasons. Season 6 is not yet on Netflix.

"508 Million Year Old" Exceptionally Preserved Embryos Found

by Perry in

actually, they we found over 100 years ago.

but because so many dinosaur bones have yielded soft tissue, blood cells, dna fragments etc.

, many have predicted (including myself) when all this really broke loose in 2005, that many more similar discoveries would be made simply by going back and cracking open old fossils and having a look inside.

Village Idiot

So? Fossils of all kinds of animals at every stage of their growth have been found.

maybe this was posted before on jwd, but i just came across it.

it will make you mad, but hopefully more awareness will make people see this religion as the dangerous cult that it is:.

You might want to change your title to include the words "years old". Your title seems to say that there are 14 martyrs.

Freedom from Religion

it should be mandatory for s.c.justices,judges and attorneys to take a four year course.

on the history of religion,bible and the koran.iam sure they would conclude that religion.

has little value in society.there would be no such thing as religious accommodation(lawsuits).

Village Idiot

Everyone should have a comparative religion class while they're in grade school, atheism included. Not to teach any particular religion; I don't believe in anything close to public prayer. It doesn't have to be a four year course; just one semester would be fine.

Was this talk actually given ?

by opusdei1972 in

i just want to confirm if this talk was true, if so, this was a very explicit proclamation that 1975 would be "the year of the end".

At the 0:20 second mark the speaker says "because he's (Jehovah) held up before all of us...". The Spanish translation says "Jesus" even though it's Jehovah who's the subject.

There are other trivial differences such as the speaker saying "a new year" whereas the Spanish translation "an important new year" (0:27)
