identical twin studies show there is a strong inheritable component to religiosity.
thomas bouchard studied identical and fraternal twins raised apart and tested them on religious attitudes.. the correlation for the former turned out to be 62% compared to just 2% for the latter.

I wouldn't. Neither am I sorry for people who are theists. Why are you?
I'm just pointing out that both sets of people got to where they are by the roll of the dice when the sperm hit the egg. If this study is correct the atheist didn't get to his position by virtue of superior intellect any more than the believer got to his via superior moral character.

hey everyone!.
i live in victoria (canada).
anyone in my area?
today i called to my sister and she told me that two elders went to her house to announce her that a judicial committe is waiting her in the kingdom hall this friday.
she told them that she will confirm if she will go.
however, i have told her that she shouldn't go, instead she should ask them to write a formal letter, with signatures, asking her for which charges she should be submitted in a private room with two men (or three?
did anyone notice this wt's subtle attack on wikipedia?
they wrote (from the 2011 yearbook of jehovah's witnesses, pp.
9-10. source: 'tracing all things with accuracy'):.
there are many things wrong with the world, many injustices and crimes committed.
what if we could stop one of them?
wouldn't it make the world a slightly better place?
OK, so what about the Oxford comma?
Do you want "cars are available in red, green, black, and white;" or "cars are available in red, green, black and white?" Style guides can be cited for both using it and not using it. Are we following MLA, APA, Chicago, etc; or AP and Canadian Manual?
spear points dating to thousands of years before the flood (or even adam's alleged creation, for that matter) found preserved in situ among mammoth bones in naco, arizona.. or the 14,000 year-old footprint of a child at a mammoth hunting camp unearthed in a bog in monte verde, chile:.
the kicker is that this isn't even the oldest evidence for human settlement of the americas.
since the wt loves to trot out frozen mammoth carcasses as "proof" that mammoths died in the flood, who were these mammoth eaters in north america?
warnings are out that radiocarbon may soon find itself in a crisis situation.
Written in 1981. Maybe he and the Watchtower are using the same dictionary to define "soon."
with hopefully a good deal of interest here in the conti appeal tomorrow (or later today, depending on where you are), i thought that on my ride home from work tonight i'd preview what to expect and what i think the key issues are for any who are interested.
i have had a busy few weeks and haven't had time to read everything, but i had some time to look at the appeal briefs during my work commute the past couple days.
it'll be interesting to see what develops out of the network news coverage of this case.
you have to watch the movie "the giver"!
it is simply an awesome movie for every thinking witness, or those trying to break free from the org's hold on us.. i wont give away too much, but the concept of the film is mind blowing!
utopia vs reality etc... conformity vs individuality and humanity... etc.
i was in the house with her for all of the last week of her life.
she went quietly and peacefully and had people that cared a lot for her around at the end.
she and dad touched a lot of lives in very positive ways.
I was in the house with her for all of the last week of her life. She went quietly and peacefully and had people that cared a lot for her around at the end. She and Dad touched a lot of lives in very positive ways. Not the least of which was the fact that she made sure I was still part of the family even after I joined a religious cult.
Here are two articles, last time I did this some people had trouble linking The Hutch website so I put up a news article too.
