religious progress would-be
I would say that for the sake of human progress, the best thing we could possibly do would be to diminish, to the point of eliminating, religious faiths. But certainly not eliminating the natural yearnings of our species or the asking of these great questions.
religious intelligent people
I thought perhaps it should be recognized that religious people, including fundamentalists, are quite intelligent, many of them are highly educated, and they should be treated with complete respect.
religious views theory-of-evolution
Of course, there is no reconciliation between the theory of evolution by natural selection and the traditional religious view of the origin of the human mind.
religious marine college
People yearn to be in one of the best--a combat marine regiment, an elite college, the executive committee of a company, a religious sect, a fraternity, a garden club--any collectivity that can be compared favorably with other, competing groups.
religious believe different
I believe that traditional religious belief and scientific knowledge depict the universe in radically different ways. At the bedrock they are incompatible and mutually exclusive.
religious belief adaptation
Religious belief itself is an adaptation that has evolved because we're hard-wired to form tribalistic religions.
religious groups essentials
Religious beliefs evolved by group-selection, tribe competing against tribe, and the illogic of religions is not a weakness but their essential strength.
religious character atheism
Character is in turn the enduring source of virtue. It stands by itself and excites admiration in others. It is not obedience to authority, and while it is often consistent with and reinforced by religious belief, it is not piety.
religious epic poetry-is
The true evolutionary epic, retold as poetry, is as intrinsically ennobling as any religious epic.
religious believe dogma
I tend to believe that religious dogma is a consequence of evolution.
religious differences people
We ought to recognize that religious strife is not the consequence of differences among people. It's about conflicts between creation stories.
consider dose full learned religious smaller taking teach took year
About a year ago I had what I consider a very religious experience. I took LSD, a full dose of LSD, and later, another time, I took a smaller dose. And I learned a lot of things, like patience, understanding. I can't teach you or tell you what I learned from taking it, but I consider it a very religious experience.

We've been talking to about 10 labels. So far, they haven't given us exactly what we want.

We've been struggling to make outside shots and we need to make outside shots to play our inside-out game and Kyle stepped up and made the outside shots we needed.
