It's Easter once again....

Bible-punchers, and other 'gold-miners' like Roma Downey are once again milking those ancient myths for every dollar they can get, because the faithful are usually so most often only on a couple of days a year - Christmas and Easter. And shame on all of us.

Recently, in a discussion of the relative differences between science and religion, one of our more prominent scientists pointed out that science doesn't depend upon faith, but rather on facts. Religion, on the other hand, is all about faith, and as Michel de Montaigne said in the 1500s, "Nothing is so firmly believed as that which is least known."

One of the more serious problems is that there are a lot of different religions, because anyone can start his or her own, if they can get enough others to join them, and as someone has pointed out, they can't all be right. H.L. Mencken, the American journalist and literary light, once said "We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart."
