so if you can find the planet that takes 1000 Earth years to complete a rotation, you'll know where god lives
oh, for a mod point
but it must be free, it says so right there on the label!
" a view they support by pointing out that in the days of the founders when the constitution was written, Christianity did indeed permeate every aspect of public life including government"
which nonetheless is patently false
and yet you speak Spanish. curious.
"big three"? wow, that speaks volumes.
Hindus and Buddhists, not to mention a variety of other Sino-Indian religions far, far outnumber Jews. Your own straw-man says they're the big three because they all share the same foundation of the Abrahamic religions. How convenient.
I think you mean complicated.
google atheist crime
it's the first result
"Top of the class, in both atheism and good behavior, come the Japanese. Over eighty percent accept evolution and fewer than ten percent are certain that God exists. Despite its size – over a hundred million people – Japan is one of the least crime-prone countries in the world. It also has the lowest rates of teenage pregnancy of any developed nation.
(Teenage pregnancy has less tragic consequences than violence but it is usually unwanted, and it is frequently associated with deprivation among both mothers and children. In general, it is a Bad Thing.)
Next in line are the Norwegians, British, Germans and Dutch. At least sixty percent accept evolution as a fact and fewer than one in three are convinced that there is a deity. There is little teenage pregnancy , although the Brits, with over 40 pregnancies per 1,000 girls a year, do twice as badly as the others. Homicide rates are also low -- around 1-2 victims per 100,000 people a year.
At the other end of the scale comes America. Over 50 percent of Americans believe in God, and only 40 percent accept some form of evolution (many believe it had a helping hand from the Deity). The U.S. has the highest rate of teenage pregnancy and homicide rates are at least five times greater than in Europe and ten times higher than in Japan."
"Thou art God."
I think the children programming was a side effect. The real reason was Congress was convinced Communists were incapable of saying "under god". Hence, anyone who complains about it being in the pledge must be a Communist.
that 'oustide the realm' part has been shrinking for centuries
executive compensation is tied to your relationships on the compensation committee. nothing more.
Exhibit A: HP
your first two sentences tell me everything I need to know about you.
you said yourself: "It may also eliminate some candidates that are actually good, but what technique doesn't?" so it eliminates good candidates, but it's not pass or fail. brilliant.
your tautology is showing
Those who can, do; those who can't, write. Those who can't write work for the Bell Labs Record.
