Judeo-Christianity is the Monsanto of Religion.

Reason #2
For my mathematician* cousins:
I had two parents; but so did you!
And, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents, 16 great great grandparents, and so on.
2, 4, 8, 16, ... a geometric progression.
Go back 1000 years or 40 generations (assuming 25 years per generation)
That's 2^40 ancestors alive 1000 years ago.
But, 2^40 is about 1 099 511 628 000.
Hah! There weren't over a trillion people alive on Earth 1000 years ago - neither my ancestors nor yours.
It is a much, much smaller web of interrelationships. We indeed are cousins and not as long as 1000 years ago.

As to that, that is also my definition of science, of scientific research. But then what is religion?

Religion is a blind man looking for a cat in the dark room which isn’t there, but the man shouts from time to time “I found it, I found it” and damns all the other men to Hell because they haven’t found it.
Cousin Spade, if you'll allow me to call you that; Off topic but since this thread is dedicated to you, (maybe we should have an "ask Spade" thread) I have a quick question for you. My daughter and I don't speak much considering it costs about 2 bucks a minute so we don't get into the minutae of grammar and syntax. As you know, she is attending Университет Санкт-Петербург; the address they give is spelled Университетская. She rattled off something about male-female, something the english language doesn't express for inanimate objects; is that the reason for the "tskaya" suffix on so many words? Я не знаю, Спасибо.
Yes, it's a female-gender adjectival ending. It converts a male "sky" into a female equivalent.

Really? Hmmmm. I would have never guessed
Don't look into the light. Don't loo....
"I did think people deserved to know why you called them cousin because I was sure that they were either just a tad curious or maybe even thought you might be a raving lunatic"

The bold print is not Tyr's. It is me you are quoting. He copied it from my post.8OWarning, Tyr! To view, use welding glass number 14!

Reason #5 is one of the following
I use "cousin"
A. In reply to a poster to affirm their point of view. I am sayinfg, "Hey, I agree, and could not have said it better myself!"
B. In reply to a poster to contradict their point of view, and if they think me a "dumb arse" for contradicting them, well they and I are related. We're both "arses"!
C. Because they really are my cousin.
D. I come from a small Prairie town where practically everyone was related.
E. I was part of a community that lived "community"
F. I am totally insane.
G. All of the above
H. None of the above!
Well, maybe...
