JWs and "Simple Truths"
by JW_Rogue inin public talks we would always hear about how we knew god's word was the truth because it was simple and clear.
how god revealed the real truth to uneducated and ordinary people.
the problem is that in reality something being simple or clear isn't an indicator of it's truthfulness at all.

Senator's last rites to church tax breaks
by defender of truth insenator's last rites to church tax breaks.
getting rid of tax breaks for churches and axing the school chaplaincy program could save the federal budget $250 million a year.. liberal democrats senator david leyonhjelm says the government should consider the move, which he has had costed by the parliamentary budget office, in this year's budget.. "this easter, the liberal democrats propose a $250 million annual boost to the budget by abolishing taxpayer support for religion," senator leyonhjelm told aap on thursday.. .
the christian church had made a "significant contribution to liberal democratic values" and had a right to impose religious tests for membership and employment, the senator said.. "however, we do not consider it appropriate for taxpayers to pick up the tab for what is fundamentally a private matter.".

Loss of Tax exemption for Australian religious organizations
by defender of truth ini have no clue when it comes to australian politics, but these articles got my interest.could this be the start of something?...it would take too much space to quote them all, but please read each one in order.
it might make more sense, what i am getting at.it seems to me that the debate we no doubt all want to see happen: 'why do religions, those who don't do any community work except advancing their own religion, get tax exemption?
', could be coming soon.or maybe i am wrong?www.crikey.com.au/2016/04/05/essential-voters-want-to-dump-religious-tax-exemption/http://m.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/news/tax-exemption-for-religious-groups-should-end-poll/2994952/http://m.theage.com.au/comment/easter-is-a-good-time-to-revisit-taxexempt-status-of-religious-organisations-20160323-gnpzjj.html^^ note who wrote the article, it says at the end.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/australian_sex_party^^ yes, the above is actually a real political party.

Evolution is a Fact #35 - Nature Red in Tooth and Claw
by cofty ingenes only get copied to future generations if the bodies they help to build succeed in surviving and reproducing.
these sort of genes thrive in the gene pool and genes that build unsuccessful bodies don't.
this blindingly obvious fact is at the very core of understanding evolution by natural selection.. being born, finding food and shelter, escaping predators, fighting opponents, attracting a mate and raising the next generation - the challenges faced by living things are daunting.
