“Religion is to knowledge as lead shoes are to swimming” do you agree with this statement?

Magellan 24 Comments »
Yoda Green asked:


I for one fully agree. Nothing, but nothing has held humanity back from it’s full potential as religion.
Look at the scientists that the church (predominantly christian but all religions are equally guilty) has either jailed, denounced or excommunicated. Men like Gallileo, Tycho Brahe, Magellan… the list goes on.
After all, one of the first lessons taught in the bible is the one about Adam, Eve and the tree of KNOWLEDGE. They could eat from any tree but that one. What’s that tell you? That knowledge is bad in any form and that blind faith is all a person needs.
Personally I hope for the day when religion is nothing more than an embarrasing footnote in the history of mankind.
When people finally reject mythology, they move ahead at tremendous speed. Those that are mired in the mess that is religion however, either move slower than continental drift, or simply go backwards.
Well julia has won today’s “idiot of the day” award.
I cannot imagine a stupider statement than the one you just made.
The church did NOT act as a patron to the sciences. Doctors were persecuted for taking money from the church (healing after all was the domain of god, not man) and scientists were routinely jailed or killed for simply speaking the truth.
Please do a bit of research before you answer, that way you might not look like such a moron…

ciara4947 asked:


I have a question I plan on moving to Atlanta from St. Louis early 2009 after I have my baby. I want to know what the best advice would be as far as residential areas. Hopefully I can get a job transfer from my job the company I work for is Magellan Behavioral Healthcare Services and the office in Atlanta, GA. is located in Alpharetta county. Which I already looked online and its pretty expensive. Basically I need some advice on childcare services and residential living that would accomidate me and my child.

My 401k is tanking! What to do?

Magellan 7 Comments »
lis asked:


I’m 28 y/o. I’m told to stay and wait it out. But I get so nervous seeing my 401k tank by more than 25%. I have investments in Fidelity Magellan which invest in AIG. And my investments in overseas stocks just tanked as well!!

I just need some re-assurance that staying and holding out is the right decision.
Oh, I do not get a matching contribution.
