  • Commented on The cult of justice
    I don't agree about your distinction between religions and witchcraft: holy books are not necessary for religions. That's a matter of definition. I'm using the definitions from "Religion Explained" because it's the best model I've come across explaining why...
  • Commented on Trust Me (I'm a kettle)
    believe Jews to be the chosen people of their God, yet they themselves are in no hurry to convert to Judaism... FYI, Rob Bell is an Evangelical Christian with a sensible view on this specific issue. He believes he...
  • Commented on PSA: Why there won't be a third book in the Halting State trilogy
    Google Books helped me find "the Wager". The relevant John Barnes is the science fiction writer, and the Wager is mentioned in his "In the Hall of the Martian King", among others....
  • Commented on PSA: Why there won't be a third book in the Halting State trilogy
    And I'm wondering if I can get John Barnes' the Wager declared a religion. Sort of a modern Confucianism for assholes... The important question here is if they have some tangible representation that can be put on the lawn...

  • Commented on What scared H. P. Lovecraft
    Some people who read "Childhood's End" take it at face value and assume that the truth is what the devil-shaped Overlords want people to believe. That is, the employer of the Overlords is benign. However, the evidence given to the...
  • Commented on The revolution will not be hand-stitched
    IIRC an economist whose name I've blanked on noted that if you start looking at un-developed world peasant systems and developing/developed world intra-family transactions it turns out that something like 75% of all economic exchanges of value occur in...
  • Commented on (Flash fiction) A message from the Laundry public relations office
    Of course the Queen is not a reptoid. According to Neil Gaiman's historical document Study in Emerald, she's an immortal alien tentacle monster....
  • Commented on Catching a Blighty
    I assume the poppy sales happen in the UK, and I have no clue what you're talking about because I'm in the US. Searching Google Images for "four children poppy" and the like doesn't lead anywhere useful. Can anyone post...
