A look at the rights and duties of a juror.

If morals are imposed by external (sociological and cultural) factors, and there is no intrinsic right and wrong, is the following behaviour immoral?

Novelists always say that the science in the world right now is at a low level. I agree, let me give you some evidence. Here is my list of Top five unexplained mysteries in the world, let’s have a look and guess how many years later scientists can give them an answer.

I have lived as a faithful Christian for the first half of my life and studied theology extensively. My apostasy began with the introduction of such authors as Napoleon Hill, Brian Tracy, Norman Vincent Peale and Anthony Robbins. The lessons I had learned from their concepts of how faith really works as a functional component of the human brain led me to scrutinize “God’s word” and present questions that point to inconsistencies that Christians have no sufficient answer for. Don’t get me wrong, they will have an answer for them. You will find, however, that their answers have no basis in verifiable fact or evidence whatsoever, and will be largely based in their blind faith.

Here is some perspective, and some speculations on this, from an IT professional’s viewpoint.
