MeatLast night I picked up a dagger from my dresser and examined it. As daggers go, it's not very ostentatious: a straight, stainless steel blade with a dyed wood hilt and brass guard and pommel. The blade is only about six inches long, and it is not very sharp, for I have not taken very much of an interest in sharpening the edges. The point is already to a needle. As I examined the dagger, I thought that it was quite effective enough of a weapon to kill most humans and a wide array of animals. It is probably able to puncture flesh rather easily, and with its reach, it can reach most if not all of one's vital organs, if the wielder is able to staMeat

If there was an all-knowing, all-powerful benevolent being, people wouldn't die needlessly, nor would there be evil people, nor would there be more than one religion. A loving omnipotent being wouldn't want people to go to hell, but if it

Polytheism vs. MonotheismI was thinking today about how, for the most part, polytheistic religions have given way to monotheistic ones in today's world. I am aware of religions like Hinduism and Shintoism, but the majority of the world's population (or at least the population you hear about) is either Christian, Jewish, or Muslim. I was wondering why this might be, so this is going to be an essay about speculating.Polytheism vs. Monotheism
The first possibility that came to mind was that monotheistic religions make it easier to control people. With polytheistic religions, you can pick a patron god from the pantheon to follow and model your life after their teachings. Your patron
