A common complaint, but it comes from an alternate universe where abrahamism had to come up with some excuse for why it's pews were emptying that didn't have anything to do with them being cocks. I guess all the molestations just don't seem like a causal agent to cultists. Back in the 90s, lol..the rise of paganism was considered to be a product of consumerism..as these other traditions were packaged for consumption under the new age header. Man, they really do seem to get it when the other guy is eating their lunch.
Religion, is a market. Religiosity is a form of consumerism, not a competitor. I agree about that. Which is why I believe there is such a thing as true religion and that most people don't practice it.

You would never know what brand it actually is unless you had special goggles that allowed you to see the truck. But it is the truth. There are some powerful forces (people) in charge of this whole thing, and I would gladly tongue their anuses in exchange for being considered a part of the team.

I don't disagree that Hypatia was a smart woman.
But most of the library had been burned before she was born, in collateral damage from raids on the city by Julius Caesar. In her time, what remained of the books were housed in the Serapeum, a temple to Serapis with which Hypatia had no connection.
She was a Neoplatonist who thought that the goal of life is to reconnect the fallen soul with the transcendent One, so if she were posting here people would call her an idiot.
Sorry to be picky about history, but this misinformation gets repeated all the time.
And least you arent fussy over grammar.

I have no idea why it took me so long to think of her, but I would like to add Hillary Clinton. She's just brilliant.

Here is she with her Apollo code
She even got a Lego set based on that photo
Without a single bug or fixed all the bugs that got caught?

She would bring her little daughter to work and let her play with the computer (Apollo simulator) and she would mess things up and in that way discover bugs.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
