Comment Re:Written Before Christianity Was PAGANIZED (Score 1) 568

That's kind of you to said. I am, as you probably surmised, an atheist. One of my dearest (and oldest) friends is a Christian. She teaches Sunday schools and goes to Bible camp. I don't have an issue with religious people. I just don't think one should believe something because they were told to, or because others do. But if someone has read the Bible and decided that's the life they want, that fine. My father was very religious. He often told me, "I'm your father. You'll believe what I believe." I would often reply, "if everyone thought that way we'd still be burning witches at the stake."

Really? The Jewish faith is about 5000 years old. That's 3000 more than Christians. They don't believe in the resurrection. Neither do the Muslims, and they way out number your "millions and millions." So, are they the "geniuses" or are you? Because you both can't be right, and using time or number of people doesn't prove your point, neither.

So, because something popular, it must be true. And if people die believing something, it must be true. Wow, no wonder people choose dogma over critical thinking. Thinking for yourself must be too hard. Just follow all the lemmings that came before you. They MUST know what they are talking about!

Save them until winter, then burn them for heat. If you don't have a fireplace or wood stove, give them to a bum to burn in a barrel for heat. By bum I mean an out of work fellow software engineer (except anyone who worked on Twitter or Facebook, you should be warm in the afterlife when you burn in hell). Pay it forward...

Submission + - What to do with Outdated Books 1

gmletzkojr writes: "Recently, I was put on a new project at work, which is in a language I haven't used in years. I checked my personal library for books on this language. The books I have are outdated to the point that currently sell on Amazon for less than $1 each. I'm not interested in making money on these books, but I would like them to go to a good home. What do you /.'ers do with your outdated books? Do libraries or schools want these books?"
