ParticipantThat hope seems a bit unchristian/unamerican to me.

ParticipantCheers for the clarification cyphire. I was wondering how many of these doctors extended their belief in ‘a god’ to belief in the proactive & jealous God of modern monotheistic religions. It’s one thing to give a name to the unknown/unknowable mysteries of the universe, but I find it hard to imagine that so many well educataed people believe in the rest of the fairy tales associated with religion.

Thanks for the link to that study jg. That’s fascinating, I always assumed that scientists would be far less religious that the greater population.
I have always wondered why people in the US are so predisposed to religious belief compared with the rest of the developed world. It’s interesting how it crosses all the boundaries of IQ, vocation, class and location. The size of the religious majority is overwhelming here, whilst elsewhere congregations are dwindling.

Participanthaha!
I heard 50c of every tax dollar goes to the Pentagon. Do you think that is correct?
Also, how is the government budget deficit funded?

ParticipantThe “Stonewood Scam” only became a scam because you lost money. If it had paid off you would have thought you were all the new Warren Buffet. That’s investing (gambling) for you! You win some, you lose some. If you don’t know how to play, you are going to lose a lot more than you win. If you can’t take losing, don’t play at all.
