If there are any gods, why don't they act to eliminate it? The absence of substantive action against evil would be consistent with the existence of evil or at least indifferent gods, which is not impossible, but few people believe in such gods.

Comments (14)PermalinkJim Garlow: Same-Sex Marriage Worse than Radical IslamSaturday October 11, 2008Christians opposed to equal rights for gays are ramping up their anti-gay and anti-equality rhetoric in California.

This subjective validation is generally at the heart of people’s reports of the experience of paranormal phenomena. For example, when it comes to readings by astrologers or psychics, a person will quickly focus on and remember the “hits” or accurate statements, but forget and ignore the “misses,” or inaccurate statements. In this manner, the person has subjectively validated their preconception that there exists some sort of astrological or psychic connection between things in the universe.
