Or even any, apparently.
Back on topic....
I respect your right to believe anything you want, but there is no requirement for me to respect either your belief or you for having it.

Completely redundant. No event needs evidence to have happened, you do need evidence to back up a claim it has happened.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

"These are the streets of this city, where the New Scum try to live. You and me, and here in these streets are the things that we want: sex and birth, votes and traits, money and guilt, television and teddy bears. But all we've actually got is each other. You decide what that means."
