Today is the 12th of November, 2014 and it's snowing.  Humbug!  It's not unexpected in Wisconsin but this a little early.

I read an article today about an author by the name of Dan Brown.  He wrote the book "The Da Vinci Code" and now has a new book he is pushing.  I am not promoting the book so I won't tell you the title but I guess the premise of the book is that Religion and Science can coexist and even rely on each other..........What Crap.   Science relies on facts, peer review, the ability to change ones mind if relevant facts dictate it.  Religion relies on...a book.  It is entirely speculative....no observations, no evidence.
Religious people use made up "answers" to make decisions and judge other people... There's something deeply arrogant about religion: the believers are not able to say "I don't know." They always know everything, they know what "god" wants and, thus, when its bad or good for other people too, no matter if the others believe in the same god or not, no matter if they have undeniable evidences of the contrary.
Mr. Brown asks..."Where did we come from", "Why are we here", and "What becomes of us after we die".  Here is the answer Mr. Brown....Stardust, Evolution, Stardust.  See how easy that was.

Another article I read today...The Mormon cult er...Church has finally admitted that Joseph Smith was a pervert.  Well, they didn't really say that; they admitted that he had 40 wives one of them being just 14 years old.  His successor was  Brigham Young.


Young was a polygamist, marrying a total of 55 wives, 54 of them after he converted to Mormonism. The policy was difficult for many in the church. By the time of his death, Young had 56 children by 16 of his wives; 46 of his children reached adulthood.
