Its only recently that there has been an upsurge of preachers on the streets - maybe a last ditch attempt at filling some pews. Its disgusting that the schools still cling to this antiquated system of hymns and prayers. Its clearly not productive to the UK's science sector to teach children these fairy-tales. I have an 8 yr old girl, and she thinks it absurd that her friends and teachers believe such nonsense.
It's good to see children stand up and say "that's stupid!". Makes me smile like hell.
The religious know they are falling, not only are adults walking away but so are the children too. Despite their desperate attempts they are still falling.
I smell fear.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
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.
