While some websites stop people from right clicking and saving (such as flickr) you can get around that by just screen printing. So why would you invest time in trying to stop one route of copying when there is a second unstoppable?

Yet religion still exists and thrives after tens of thousands of years. In fact religion seems to be one of the only staples of human civilization, suggesting in fact that many people do have some kind of intrinsic need for religion in thei

To speak candidly, I always found it irritating when Atheists and Secular "thinkers" would attack me for being religious and a scientist at the same time, as if my religion must somehow stunf my intellectual capability. Furthermore, more of

You might be correct, thats an interesting point you've picked up. I might re-read my comments to see what else can be extrapolated and what biases I'm susceptible to.
