    For Non-anti-Moslems!

    Monte, You are just playing with me, right? Using a Roman Catholic website to justify what the RCC did to Galileo, that's funny! ;) Seriously though, the RCC did ban Galileo from even discussing his heliocentric theory with anyone under pain of excommunication. "Galileo attracted the...

    Witchcraft

    I really don't know. My mother was a very serious type person. Not the kind to make things up. But since she's dead now, I suppose we'll never really know for sure.

    Witchcraft

    My mom told me once that when she was a young girl, she and her friends made a Ouija board and asked a bunch of questions. One question apparenly upset the spirit and the glass item they were using to point out the letters and numbers spun around fast and sped across the floor shattering...

    The best holy text...

    You sound a bit superstitious to me. These people are no more wacky than anyone else on the planet. Have you seen their website: http://www.faithists.com/ Pretty dull, but hardly the demon filled cult you're professing.

    What's so great about Christianity?

    What's wrong with a policy signed by Krishna, Ahura Mazda, Zeus (not JeZeus) Osiris, Baal, or any other divinity?

    Why haven't you become a Mormon?

    The NT was written decades after Jesus supposed death. Josephus is admittedly a christian interpolation. Tacitus likewise is highly debateable. Would you like specifics? It would have to be in PM mode, as Im no longer free to discuss this here.
