thegermansmakegoodstuff asked: Hi there! A quote you put up recently - "The Government of the United States is in no sense founded on the Christian religion." - is commonly attributed to John Adams, but they're not exactly his words. They're from the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli. It was passed unanimously by Congress, and President Adams signed it into law. I just discovered your blog and I love it, keep up the...

Anonymous asked: I found an interesting analog for the refutation of a common deist argument, "there must be a first cause." It was somewhere along the lines of the juxtaposition between location and time. Imagine venturing across the surface of the Earth and progressively getting closer to the south pole. Once there, I ask you "go further south," but at that point "south" has lost...

Jesus gives them heart defects
measles, mumps, and ringwormed necks.
Jesus loves the little children of the world.

Top 10 Myths About Evolution
1 If Humans Came From Apes, Why Aren’t Apes Evolving Into Humans?
