Chapter Eight: 1450 - 1750 C.E.
The Reformation did not convert the people of Europe to orthodox
Christianity through preaching and catechisms alone. It was the 300 year
period of witch-hunting from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century, what R
.H. Robbins called "the shocking nightmare, the foulest crime and deepest
shame of western civilization." The Church created the elaborate concept of
devil worship and then, used the persecution ... 阅读全帖 |

Hell is described in only a few spots throughout the Bible as a place of

allegorical stories like Shadrach, Meshech, and Abednego in the fiery
furnace. In God’s Revelation to John, the final end of the world is
depicted as a war between good and evil. The good are not Christians.

in American universities – and why?
The first story was how the football team at the University of Missouri was

terrible acts of aggression, had been problematic at Mizzou, leading to a

Misconceptions
There is an urban legend stating that daddy long-legs spiders have the most
potent venom of any spider, but that their chelicerae (fangs) are either too
small or too weak to puncture human skin; the same legend is also repeated
of the harvestman and crane fly, also called "daddy long-legs" in some

125 in the pot and it costs you $20 to call. A ten-outer is about a 4-to-1
shot, and your pot odds are over 6-to-1. But an ace or a king may give you a
real problem. A king puts four parts to a straight on the table, so anyone
with a jack has a straight. An ace could give one of your opponents aces-up,
since hands containing an ace are the kinds of hands players limp in with.
