No I don't want to rethink anything, I don't care what a couple of videos say, I stick to what I have already said.

Because for me those are just two sides of the same coin.


No…. Why I lie to you guys I'm gonna be honest for me theres no difference between those two.

Since religion is proven to be nothing more than a self creating Protection Racket - the difference between a cult and a religion is MONEY - and numbers of Adherents

Rational, skeptical people are always willing to rethink things.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

You see this is one of the reasons why I use Emoticons[Image: evil-smile-onion-head-emoticon.gif]they make sarcasm so much easier to understand.

Your'e right I was joking…[Image: smoking2-onion-head-emoticon.gif]

Not just numbers, but pervasiveness in the particular culture and similarity in values.
