CotG #70

The 70th edition of the Carnival of the Godless is up at Hemant's place. My picks: Hell's Handmaiden has an interesting post about sin, which includes this quote:

Phenomenal ignorance of history? Check. The world is not getting crazier. It has always been bloody nuts.

At Eight Hour Lunch, there's a post about Mormon missionaries and the crap they are put through. I had been told by a friend who grew up in a Mormon heavy area that Mormonism is a relatively cult-like religion, but I didn't know it was that bad. Finally, the Socratic Gadfly has a good quip about the Buddha.
