The Humorism

The four humors

Humorism, or humoralism, is a now discredited (but historically important) theory of the makeup and workings of the human body,

Christians behavior is no longer tolerated in civil society.

This morning I was reading the comments on a Christian blog and came across the following screed, posted by someone named “Rick”:

Catholic Nuns Steal Babies

Randy Ryder as a baby being cradled in a Malaga hospital in 1971 by the woman who bought him.

Between the 1930’s and 1970’s the Catholic Church and government in Spain allegedly trafficked anywhere from 30,000 to 300,000 children. Up to 300,000 Spanish babies were stolen from their parents and sold for adoption over a period of five decades, a new investigation reveals.

4 reasons religion is extremely bad and unpleasant.

Over years, missionaries have this to say “I’m doing gods work” This really proves to me either the so called god is dead, crippled or vividly don’t exist at all to do his own work. If god really wanted me to worship him/her/it, he/she/it would tell me and not human beings. 

Cardiff Giant : One of the most famous hoaxes in United States history

The Cardiff Giant being exhumed in October 1869

The Cardiff Giant was one of the most famous hoaxes in United States history. It was a 10-foot (3.0 m) tall purported “petrified man” uncovered on October 16, 1869, by workers digging a well behind the barn of William C. “Stub” Newell in Cardiff, New York. Both it and an unauthorized copy made by P.T. Barnum are still on display.

If God doesn’t exist, then who wrote the bible?

Intend to demonstrate here why the theists’ usual arguments in favor of a God fall logically flat…

This argument states that because the Universe (the physical realm) exists and shows signs of intelligent design, there must, of course, be an intelligent designer (a supernatural deity), and this person we call “God”.

The False prophets

Two Assembly of God missionaries, John and Theresa Foud, came to investigate and convert one of the many tribes previously exposed to Western cultures, so that most of its members could communicate with them. There was a suspicion in their denomination of a new religion among these tribes which was “spreading like wildfire.” The following are excerpts from writings they recorded during their encounters.

The Burning of Washington

Burning of Washington 1814

The Burning of Washington in 1814 was an incident during the War of 1812 between the forces of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and those of the United States of America. On August 24, 1814, after defeating the Americans at the Battle of Bladensburg, a British force led by Major General Robert Ross occupied Washington City and set fire to many public buildings.

Is Christian God powerless?

A curious statement I heard often during my Christian years was this: “God first needs to break a person before he can bring them to him.” I can remember feeling as though I understood perfectly what was being communicated here. These days, however, I’m not so sure.

Conservative Christian Iron Age obsession

Stories of patriarchal Christian leaders groping, fondling, masturbating on or otherwise harassing or assaulting women—and having clandestine sex with men–seem to be a media staple of late.

Why did God wait?

Okay, so Adam and Eve have just eaten from the tree. Sin has entered the world. Human beings are now forever separated from God. Upon their physical death, they are subject to everlasting spiritual death as well, since it takes only one sin to earn eternal damnation.
