Yes folks, that's how it is, because Lorrie said so!
And we must all pay homage to her, because she
is the great one who can think for us and knows
not how to err in her thinking!
Yes! All bow to her, because it is only her mind
that can think clearly and only she is capable of
judging God!
And do not argue this point! Because it is ridiculous
to think that she is deluded for thinking that she is
smarter than a Being who can create a universe
and make it function properly!

There is no biological functioning. Matter has no function. If you
believe in rationality then you believe that matter has functions and
you cannot be taken seriously in debate.

I think that there isn't much difference between religion and
religious philosophy.
If you consider the Old Testament, was an eye for an eye and a tooth
for a tooth.
Revenge basically.
And then the New Testament is, no, we are smarter than that now, more
evolved than that, revenge is not the way to go.
Who would want to inflict revenge on someone? Thats not crime and
punishment, thats not rehabilitation, its redoing the wrong that was
done.
So two wrongs don't make a right.
Thats all it is pretty much.

Once you realize that all that religious stuff are jokes by Advance Alien
Intelligence - mocking and making fun and taking the piss out of humans -
then it all makes sense - really it does.
It is BRILLIANT!
You should get to know these aliens - they are REAL - they are VISIBLE and
they are very very funny.
Their alien jokes and sense of humour have taken over Earth!
And the religions are not all they have done.

Indeed. The soul is a device to replace the lack of understanding, by
which primitive folk sought to understand "that which changed" upon
the death of another creature. The soul is thus that animating
principle that has "departed".
Today we can switch off the TV and have a better metaphor for death.

Did Sagan have "puritanical" beliefs? If so, what would they have
been, exactly and did he admit to them?
