The Barker Postulate

There exists an inverse relationship between the truth of a religious position and the number of gods proscribed. If you have five million gods, your religion is less valid than if you have 5 gods. If your religion has twenty gods is less true than if you have three. If your religion has three gods it is less true than having one god.

Truth value = (1)/(1 + (number of gods))

Quote of the Day: Stephen Colbert

From I am American and So Can You:
And set some rules. Don't worry if the rule makes sense, the important thing is that it's a rule. Arbitrary rules teach kids discipline, if every rule made sense they wouldn't be learning respect for authority, they'd be learning logic.
