Jared Diamond, professor of geography at UCLA, received the Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction in 1998 for Guns, Germs and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies. In 1999, he received the National Medal of Science. His most recent book is Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed (2004). Professor Diamond argues that religion has encompassed at least four independent components that have arisen or disappeared at different stages of development of human societies over the last 10,000 years.

cloning for organ harvesting? You make it sound liek the grow babies and kill them once born to take their organs. Gender identity disorder as being attributed to a lack of god? Homosexuality? What about all the gay catholic people. Tatoos? Drugs? both have been used extensively in religions since the beginning of time. I'm glad that your church has gotten to you sufficiently to try and suppress all things that seem unfamiliar to you. Raves are awesome, and you, good sir, are an idiot.

@jdcremin Just a question for a minute.... A lot of these things are coming out due to society developing a greater acceptance for people's individuality and a better understanding of who each of us are. Gender identity disorder is hardly the fault of athiests. And drug legalization doesn't seem to be linked to religion in my book. Gay pride parades? How is homosexuality a political or religious issue? Isn't it about who one is and what one likes? What if it were the other way around?

no one is perfect if you want proof of the spirit realm ask some one who does spiritism and they will tell you about the voices they can hear. those are demons if not the devil himself. belive me you don't want to know about being demon possessed. The King Jesus will return to crush them and wicked men who do not believe and practice the truth

Because no christian (or jew, muslim, etc) has ever gotten an abortion, practiced sexual deviance, had a tattoo, or gotten fake tits... Right?

Ironicly the nations with the most atheists have the least crime (Sweden) . Atheists are the bogey men to fundamentalists .Atheists have higher IQ's and are bookworms that have more morals than theists .

[1934-1997] American astronomer and author In a March 1996 profile by Jim Dawson in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Sagan talked about his then-new book The Demon Haunted World and was asked about his personal spiritual views: "My view is that if there is no evidence for it, then forget about it," he said. "An agnostic is somebody who doesn't believe in something until there is evidence for it, so I'm agnostic." To be continued.
