    Shows how hold we are- this was all common knowledge when it occurred- but it's understandable how a 20 something wouldn't know about it.

    Frankly I don't think someone that would do something so stupid are a big loss to the gene pool. I had never heard of a neti pot before, and now I wish I didn't.

  10. Re:Chop Off Heads on Carbon Dating Shows Koran May Predate Muhammad · · Score: 1

    So it isn't Christianity that causes it, just being religious (a form of insanity in my book). I would recommend the 'golden bough' if you are interested in this type of thing. Most of the core of Christianity is a modernization of pagen themes.

    Caused? This was the religion of their time. I highly doubt whoever was in power would of behaved well if they were following another religion. Also your comment shows a poor understanding of other cultures and religious beliefs and how they were used to manipulate people.

    I don't know anything about this subject but I would be surprised if there isn't software that will catalog the network automatically.
