Carl Sagan WAS strictly scientific. The quote was 100% out of context and purposely misleading. If anyone has any doubt of that, they need to read "Demon Haunted World"

science can explain how of things, but it cannot explain why of certain things (for example, why did life arise from non-life and evolved from simpler creatures to more complex life forms only to die and disappear?
) so are the conflicted religions whose chief concern is in safeguarding each ones separate identity..
next option is to look for pearls among the stonesusing power of our own reason.

i just had two female jws visit, one in their 30s and the other about 20. .
they invited me to their convention to learn about jesus, they said it is three days long but i don't need to attend every day and she highlighted one session at 11.15am where i could learn about jesus.. i said to her that i wouldn't be interested in attending the convention because i believed what a man called rutherford said about religion being a snare and a racket.
they wanted to know who this rutherford guy was and after explaining knew who i was talking about.

It was a master stroke to get the sheeples conflating imaginary deity big J with his imaginary organisation on earth, yep you guessed it right, in the form of the cult we all love so much.

in the wt's literature it is often theorised that the "great fish" that swallowed jonah was a whale shark.

while the whales mouth is huge, it's oesophagus however is only a few inches wide.
God dun it, nuff said. (resumes staring at navel fluff)
