Owens L'ill Slice of the Web

Interesting item discussing why the ability of scientists to disprove evolution makes it more believable than Faith in a creator.

While reading the article linked in the previous posting, I saw a nice quote:

“My religion is better than yours.. Because I don’t have one.”

Must remember that, it could be useful.

13 percent of Americans believe Joan of Arc was the wife of Noah..
Oh Dear.

Interesting days in the Gaza strip, in that religious fanatics have flocked to the scene, and a bit of me is glad to see their frustration. I feel like this is some restitution for the Palestinians who have lost their homes. The ordinary settlers have my sympathy though, they were told by the fanatics that the land was theirs, learning that it wasn’t must have been a bitter pill.

“Just a few yards outside Kfar Darom, dozens of Palestinians stood on the roofs of their houses watching the evacuation.

“For the first time in the last few years I’m standing here without any fear that Israelis will shoot at me because their battle today is against themselves,” said Mohammed Bashir, a Palestinian farmer.”

Long may he continue to stand there.

“Once Bush had chosen the site, there was virtually nothing the Iraqi government could do to avoid war, short of total capitulation. As a demonstration of both America’s military might and his own itchy trigger finger, Bush had decided to make Iraq his Alderaan, the hapless planet in the original Star Wars movie that was picked to show off the power of the Death Star.”
StarWars and Politics collide

I´m not really as angry as I seem..

The ultimate accessory for a MP3 Player has to be a AK47! errr.. I got that the wrong way round..

Having awarded all the big Iraqi reconstruction projects to Bush supporting companies. The Americans are now throwing some crumbs to their other ‘partners’ in the war. Of course, they’re banning companies from anti-war countries from participating. So that’s all right then.

Our fight to keep the settlements and suppress the Palestinian people is killing us. It is killing our right to live safely in the country of Israel. A very small group of radical Israelis is leading the sane majority to catastrophe.
That’s a quote from a Captain in the Israeli military. I really should remember that not everybody in Israel follows the failed policies of force.

Scientologists or the Catholic Church? Actually they’re both dangerous and wrong.

No weapons of mass destruction? You are lying little weasels. And your warmongering spin has been laid bare. While of course you are still developing your own.. You’re hypocrites too!

A amazing crock of nonsense! No wonder they want to stop you seeing it until you’ve had years of prior brainwashing.
