Gog and Magogg
If this quote by Chirac is accurate... how is it not getting more attention?
Chirac recounts that the American leader appealed to their “common faith” (Christianity) and told him: “Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East.... The biblical prophecies are being fulfilled.... This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase his people’s enemies before a New Age begins.”

Religion is a hermit crab..
Well actually, religion is that first shell... and the people who believe in it are the crabs... it's funny to watch the excuses and justifications build up as religions get things wrong... from intelligent design, to god is testing me, to faith, to god invented evolution, to god put those fossils there...

content cleanup forthcoming.. just wanting to get some of this stuff down..
People believed the world was flat until...?
How much progress was made in exploration during the window between the enlightened people knew and everyone else accepted it...
People believed that the sun revolved around the earth until...?
How much progress was retarded during the time from Galileo until universal acceptance

A way to solve health care reform, tort reform and defense spending...
Post in progress, but obviously you see where it's going... fundies can pray instead of visiting the emergency room, use faith instead of the legal system, and can pay a religion tax for the portion of the defense budget needed as a result of their beliefs...
