Since it says this data is from a SURVEY it kind of invalidates all of you "ugly people are more likely to get caught" explanations

But it's still a stupid study.

These for the most part are pretty good responses.

1. Not sure where you're going with that one.
2. This may be pretty true but isn't exactly a good reason.
3. It may still br messed up but at least years of systematic inquiry and double checking our answer has given us some small degree of know why and how we've managed to mess it up, and what maybe we might be able to do about it.

And I do think this is largely a success, education and religion are kept mostly independent of each othmom by most people in the mainstream. That is to say, I can tell you much more about a person's beliefs if I know they're educational background, rather than their religious background. Generally if religion is more about how you get out of bed and less about what you believe I tend to find it much healthier.

4. But then how do accept that god let's evil men go unpunished... Etc. That's a whole can of worms.

5. I'm completely down with this one because you included those adjectives, simple personal quite.

Religion tells good people to be good, and bad people to be bad, and has no system of accountability. What's important to me is to live in world that doesn't foster confusion.

Honestly wonder why people still believe in god when the age of reason started 300 years ago. Really, why cling to mysticism when you have the resources and education to make sense of the world on your own.

It's not based on research done by ebay, it's just using their sales figures, I assume. So ebay as an authority is irrelevant.

And it says this change precedes the weather forecast. It's not that any one person predicts everything, it's that thousands and thousands of simple guesses have a way to balancee out to accuracy. It's the same thing that ranks google search results and makes places like dig.com possible.
