Right frodo? Wink

I think most of us are like that. Mainly because we're lazy.

That be true.

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.

We're all searching for meaning.

Although I guess I need to clarify :p

Real punk rock, not that typically fake American junk, is not over produced, heavy metal with spiky hair. It's stripped back to the basics, cut off as much as possible from tradition, raw expression of music. Punk rock is taking climax and putting it at the beginning. Having your band photos not go through PhotoShop to remove the not so nice reality.

Atheism is this.

And I think it's a religious endeavour as much as any other, in that it's an honest search for meaning.

I mind this bollox, its wrong on almost every count, but what would you expect from someone with only superficial knowledge.

So by that definition you'd class philosophy as a religious endeavour too?

You're not being ignorant. You're getting your knickers in a twist and completely missing the point.

Frodo, what are you on, and, can you get me any?

Also I'm still waiting for a clarification of what's in your avatar. Are you handing us your ass on a plate, or, are those the massive bollocks which enable you hang out in the den of the lions?
