has its minions sentencing 9 people to death for blasphemy.
One wonders when god will show up as a witness or a complainant in a court of justice/ law or in this case when will Mo[piss be upon him] show up in his defense to say he has been blasphemed.
We end this broadcast with a quote from T Paine
“People in general know not what wickedness there is in this pretended word of God. Brought up in habits of superstition, they take it for granted that the Bible is true, and that it is good; they permit themselves not to doubt of it, and they carry the ideas they form of the benevolence of the Almighty to the book which they have been taught to believe was written by his authority. Good heavens! it is quite another thing, it is a book of lies, wickedness, and blasphemy.”
Mr Paine, I salute you!

Your screen name is strange, sir, as are your comments here. I can understand someone not agreeing with Mak’s thesis, or even with Thomas Paine’s works, I do not understand the level of your disagreement. Why on Earth would someone come out swinging on such a puerile level to his simple observation. As the late American author, Robert A. Heinlein wrote, blasphemy is a victimless crime. To hear of people actually being charged with this “crime” is upsetting and certainly makes those bringing such charges suspect themselves. My own philosophical and religious roots come from an era of people being condemned to horrible deaths because of charges that they called upon the “wrong” gods. To see this madness loose in the world again is not only painful, but is a subject that cannot be ignored but must be condemned. Do you then support such misuse of the criminal system?

Spencer, in his book, the rise and fall of destiny, says : “the world operates in two extremes: the sensual and the ideological. the sensual is based on faith and the belief that society breathes at the throes of the supernatural. the ideological is based on science: the belief that everything is logically created and has its evolutionary predisposition to survival. but either way, they alternate in a circular way. one declines and the other rises. there is the in-between area where the two extremes try to pull society each against the other. here, but only for a little time, sensual and ideological co-exist” now, i don’t wholly agree with him but i believe he has a point. we are at a phase where science and religion are trying to co-exist. what disappoints me is not that religion is here, but that people close their eyes to reality in the name of religion. they chose to cover their ills with religion and they do worse damage than an ethical science procedure would ever do.
