Not all horned goat-men are Satan, CL:
Look out, it's the prince of lies!
I was wondering when someone was going to point this out. I like CL, so I don't want to offend, but....this. ^^
Don't be afraid to say as you feel Aroura. If CL can't respect your honest views on how stupid religion is, then she shouldn't be on an atheist forum trying to make friends. That's her problem. She's not mad about the 10 commandments being up, but mad about something that she says mocks it. Tough shit, it shouldn't be on public land. She should be mad that the 10 commandments are up there, and she should want them down, so they're not forced on everyone else, if she was a good christian.
