    the founder wasn't all that much off. Six days before the suicide on March 13, 1997 the "Phoenix Lights" UFO craft flew right over my head. Research done, from 2PM that day until 5am the next day 10 craft were seen flying from north to south from Eastern California to Western New Mexico. One spotted western Arizona estimated to be 8 miles wide. The craft I saw was about 1 mile wide. Retired Sheriff from the Navajo Nation said on March 11-12 there were multiple craft spotted over the reservation and landing on their land. So many that his neighbors took their furniture to the front yard to watch them. Large and small craft, some landing at a distance and beings getting out to work on the crafts they were in. SOMETHING at that time went on with UFOs. Odd this founder knew craft were coming at that time. Everyone I know that saw them had a positive experience. I've no idea if anyone was taken away.

Why would anyone take seriously the ramblings of ignorant, Bronze Age goat herders, who didn't know any better. If you came up with the ideas contained within these old books today, you would be rightly locked up as insane. So why does religion seem to get a free pass in the twenty-first century. OK, everyone should be free to believe what they want, but should that include ridiculous myths, for which there is absolutely no supporting evidence?

    What about the evils committed by communism? Somehow that always gets swept under the carpet! The terms 'good' and 'evil' are merely subjective. Anyone can commit crimes against humanity whether they believe in a higher power or not. It's easy to make blanket statements that somehow sound clever but when you break them down they are erroneous because they haven't considered all possibilities. Humans are complex!

    Delirium, and psychosis more broadly, is a potentially traumatising medical complication of many serious medical emergencies and illnesses. It has a specific neurological cause and is treated successfully by antipsychotic medication regardless of the medical trigger of that neurological state. Socialised religious belief does not respond to antipsychotics because it's not caused by the same neurological processes as delirium and other psychotic states. In socialised religious belief, activation of the part of the brain responsible for critical thinking is in fact happening, unlike in psychosis. It's just full of logical fallacies and other failures of heuristics which humans have inherited from our ancestors who mainly had to avoid being eaten and so evolved to be safe more often than to be accurate.
