    Where is everyone from (rebooted)

    Getting the Skeptiko forum rebooted, is a good piece of news for sure: in the latter time, it became a bit stagnant and inactive.

    Psychic crimes: should we change our law to recognize and prosecute intentional cursing and hexing?

    As I said in my personal introduction on the new Skeptiko forum, I have an education of a lawyer. One of my most vivid and interesting memories about it is the criminal law lesson describing the attempts to commit crime and its prosecution. In Russian law, attempt can be prosecuted if the crime...

    Marianne Williamson for Congress? Spritiuality is going into the world of politics

    Marianne Williamson, a spirtual teacher and a participant of (Ex-)TEDxWestHollywood event, are now going to the US Congress no less! Well, it is highly unusual for the pro-spirituality, pro-paranormal person to aim at the Congress position! I, generally, like the idea. If we, spiritual...

So they want to be killed and revived, performing a...
