Irish institutional abuse and pedophiles

Today's story on the Irish children's work schools is great confirmation of my contention that God Viruses always protect their vectors. See this link:

Those of you who have read my book will clearly see the virus at work in this article. This went on from the 1930's till at least the 1990's and Catholic authorities knew it in detail, but continued to protect the vectors. These people will really… Continue

Parasite Theory

If you have not watched this video yet, you need to. This is mind blowing stuff. Michael DeDora of the NY City CFI sent me the link and recommended it. Both are worth watching, but the first 20 minutes will really open your mind to new possibilities in understanding religion. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9VFmiMI49Y

New York City book tour

Wow, Saturday night was a real trip. John Broughton, leader of the New York City Philosophy club and I debated the merits of the God Virus model of religion. It was a lively exchange and the audience was very involved, asking great questions and challenging John and I on a number of fronts. I would have to say it was one of the more fun things I have done lately. John was well prepared and had read The God Virus three times or more. I was impressed with his insights and challenges. The format… Continue
