RELIGIOUS BULLYING BY PUERTO RICAN POLICE



The Puerto Rican Police Force appears to be endemically corrupt. Apparently they are only interested in protecting and serving community members who share the particular religious beliefs of the senior officers and will actively discriminate, harass, bully and harm officers (and presumably other members of the public) who fail to share these beliefs.

Those who break the law or allow it to be broken should not be administering or enforcing it. There needs to be a large and very public shake-up of this crime-committing and crime-facilitating force. Administrative changes should be made that will support and uphold the country's constitutional separation of state and religion instead of willfully, ostentatiously and apologetically breaking these laws.

The Puerto Riccan public should be assured that every person under the jurisdiction of the law will be treated equally and fairly regardless of their race, gender, country of origin or religious status. The police force of the region should not only enforce this but should set a healthy example of this type of behavior.

PROVING GRAVITY IS GOD



A counter to the Kalam Cosmological Argument.

Properties of mind.

 Everything complex is derived from very simple elements over a period of time. [Empirically observed.]
The more complex the thing, the greater the time needed for it to develop. [Empirically observed.]
Minds are extremely complex. [Empirically observed.]
Therefore minds developed from very simple elements over a significant period of time.
[This philosophically derived conclusion has been checked and verified as true by the scientific method.]



Properties of the Abrahamic god. 

God had no beginning. (Statement derived from religious doctrines concerning all versions of the Abrahamic god.)
Therefore God did not develop from simple elements over a period of time.
Therefore God is not complex and has no mind.


Properties of gravity. 


Gravity is an immaterial force that appears to be an innate property of the cosmos. [Statement derived from application of the scientific method to astrophysics.]
Therefore gravity had no beginning.
Therefore gravity did not develop from simple elements over a period of time. [Conclusion validated by the scientific method.]
 Gravity creates stars. [Statement derived from application of the scientific method to astrophysics.]


Therefore gravity is god.
