"GO WITH THE FLOW?" NO, NO, NO!!!

I would say that the Bible folks are the herd, with the agnostics and atheists standing out by proclaiming what's real and what isn't.

Here, for instance, is my trilogy of truth.

a. Reality is that which exists.
b. Reason is the standard for knowing what's real and what isn't.
c. Truth is the recognition of reality.

In short, my trilogy defines common sense, too.

Very good article. Very true. It seems the more education one receives in America's institutions of higher learning, the dumber one gets. With the left extremism and humanistic non-values being taught, it is no surprise that we are turning out barbarians in three piece suits!

Yeah I had seen this research done on TV - fascinating. I never had too much trouble standing up and being ostracized. lol

Excellent article -- with applications in many areas other than religion.

Also explains the .com bubble, and bushbots.
