You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.

I thought this was another thread about TV evangelism.

"Activity of lower lifeforms "
Dammit!
I thought this was about religious fundamentalists.

This is in the 'Life Sciences' forum.
I found the article interesting. With all the discussions on free will and awareness, this is, perhaps, the basic building block of those functions.
There are some really fascinating documentaries on plants reacting to their environment and 'calling for help', 'stealing', 'killing', etc.. Even 'nepotism'.
Apparently there seems to be no audience for this information. Like most things, "In the eye of the beholder".

I know. It's very interesting.
Sorry, couldn't resist the smart arse remarks. It's what I do.

This is some seriously cool stuff! Thanks a lot for sharing.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
