America's Income Inequality Has Now Surpassed Russia's, A Shocking Development - The Intellectualist
nicknotes comments on Apr 6, 2018:
A while back someone wrote a book about income inequality. The premise of the book was that looking at the past history of nations of the world, when the inequality between rich and poor reaches a certain tipping point there is always a revolution. The poor strike back at the rich. Sorry I don't remember the title or the author.

nicknotes comments on Apr 6, 2018:
The Bible tells Christians that God is the healer.... From James chapter 5 13 Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; 15 and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up,​ Of course this Christian health plan needs to be repealed and replaced because it sucks.

An interesting fact...Brown v Board of education TOPEKA KANSAS. Many assume this case involved a southern state but it involved a state we would assume was more enlightened as to racial prejudice. So even after Brown v Board of ED 1954, there was much work to do and still people of color have not yet entered the promised land of equality.

nicknotes comments on Apr 5, 2018:
Jesus was ignorant about health issues... Look at what was said about hand washing... The Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered around Him when they had come from Jerusalem, 2and had seen that some of His disciples were eating their bread with impure hands, that is, unwashed. 3For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they carefully wash their hands, thus observing the traditions of the elders; 4and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they cleanse themselves; and there are many other things which they have received in order to observe, such as the washing of cups and pitchers and copper pots. 5The Pharisees and the scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unclean hands?" Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. Nothing outside a man can make him 'unclean' by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him 'unclean.' " Was this good advice that Jesus gave the crowd. For health reasons isn’t it prudent to wash your hands, cups and pitchers and copper pots? What do health professionals always tell you concerning how to avoid getting sick? Wash your hands. Wash your hands before eating. My mother always insisted that I wash my hands when I came into the house, and before eating. Is there “Nothing outside a man can make him 'unclean' by going into him,”” as Jesus said? What about bacteria, viruses, and poisons, that may be on your hands, and may find their way into your mouth and make you sick, if you don’t wash them off your hands? If Jesus is who Christians think he is, didn’t Jesus sin by giving people false information?

nicknotes comments on Apr 5, 2018:
God Trumps All Arguments Against Him. It is impossible to win an argument against a hard core Christian. No matter how absurd, impossible, ridiculous, inane, the Christian Position and no matter how scientific, reasonable, or even Biblical, the Skeptic’s position, the Christian can always play the “God can do anything” Card and trump the Skeptics argument. With God all things are possible. You lose My Skeptical friend. ​

nicknotes comments on Apr 1, 2018:
The man of the year is a man who has had the greatest influence on world events for the past year. It has nothing to do with the man being a "good man" or a "bad man." Surely Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin had their 15 minutes on the world stage where they were making the news and influencing world events. The fact that they were "bad men" does not detract from the fact that they were news makers.

How do you know what they wrote in the bible,koran and the bagavate gita is all true ?
nicknotes comments on Mar 30, 2018:
The Roman Catholic Encyclopedia admis the Bible has been edited. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14530a.htm No book of ancient times has come down to us exactly as it left the hands of its author--all have been in some way altered. The material conditions under which a book was spread before the invention of printing (1440), the little care of the copyists, correctors, and glossators for the text, so different from the desire of accuracy exhibited today, explain sufficiently the divergences we find between various manuscripts of the same work. To these causes may be added, in regard to the Scriptures, exegetical difficulties and dogmatical controversies. To exempt the scared writings from ordinary conditions a very special providence would have been necessary, and it has not been the will of God to exercise this providence. More than 150,000 different readings have been found in the older witnesses to the text of the New Testament--which in itself is a proof that Scriptures are not the only, nor the principal, means of revelation. ​ Eusebius in the 4th century had some comments on the Scriptures in his book "Church History" They have not been afraid to corrupt divine Scriptures, they have rescinded the rule of ancient faith, they have not known Christ, they ignore Scripture but search for a logic to support their atheism. If anyone challenges them with a passage from Scripture, they examine it to see if it can be turned into a conjunctive or disjunctive syllogism. Abandoning the holy Scripture of God, they study “geometry” [earth measurement], for they are from the earth and speak of the earth and do not know the One who comes from above. Some of them study the geometry of Euclid and revere Aristotle and Theophrastus, and some virtually worship Galen. In using the arts of unbelievers for their heresy, they corrupt the simple faith of the Scriptures and claim to have corrected them.   That I am not slandering them anyone will learn who compares their writings, which are in great discord, for those of Asclepiades do not agree with those of Theodotus. Many manuscripts are available because their disciples zealously made copies of their “corrected” –though really corrupted-texts. Nor do these agree with the texts of Hermophilus, while those of Apolloniades are not even consistent among themselves, earlier copies differing greatly from later ones subjected to a second corruption. This sinful impudence can hardly have been unknown to the copyists, who either do not believe the Scriptures were inspired by the Holy Spirit and are unbelievers or deem themselves wiser than the Holy Spirit and are possessed. They cannot deny their crime: the copies are in their own handwriting, they did not receive the Scriptures in this condition ...
Death from an Agnostic/Atheist perspective
nicknotes comments on Mar 30, 2018:
