All working in unison to create some sort of meta-robot that is self-aware of its experiences of pain and joy, yet somehow theists speak negatively of this understanding, as if we cannot value these experiences as much without belief in a quasi-comforting, anthroprocentric fairy-tale. The funny thing is that by devaluing our view, they're really just demonstrating their own insecurities.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Citation?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

If you're going to put urls on walls for the loons to get hold of, please put the WBC, the GOP, or Young Earth Creationist websites - those are where the loons seem to gather anyway.

I specifically wrote "whatever you do, most emphatically DO NOT visit atheistforums.org." I even used my best piss handwriting. Maybe I changed the context when I shook it afterwards; added a comma here and there or something.
