I’ve seen way too many people regurgitate flawed stats regarding suicide rates in the US Military.

It’s from RAND, a large think-tank currently funded by the …

“Science doesn’t say ‘there is no God’. Science doesn’t say ‘God doesn’t act’. We just can’t test God, so we leave him out.” – Eugenie Scott I like that quote from the video. I personally think that science directly contradicts all of the major religions’ sacred books. But I concede that there are many people …
