Historians have explored how society might have developed without Christianity, through counterfactual history, anthropology & moral evolution research.
The evidence is clear: Humanity would still have advanced — and likely sooner — without Christian dominance!
Surprised? Not me.

A real President ……….
Sixty-two years ago today, November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. He was shot while riding in an open-top car and died later at Parkland Hospital. The event, which occurred at 12:30 p.m. CST, was a moment of national tragedy.

I'm sorry, I know it's a typo, but the idea of a "scholastic terrorist" is both very dark and comedy gold.

It's a trick question. Since health can not be assigned a fixed restorative value like a car or a house, the insurance business model doesn't work.
Econ 101 midterm question: Based on what you know about risk pools and adverse selection in healthcare markets, will giving people money instead of giving them money to buy health insurance lead these markets to function more effectively, or will it just lead more people to be uninsured?
