Yes you're right *sarcasm on* It's those horrible atheists who, by understanding the theory of evolution, create new flu vaccines every year and who find new antibiotics which save countless of lives. It's those horrible atheists who, by understanding the importance of keeping the separation of church and state and by working to maintain this separation keep the Christians safe from domination from any other religious group, like the Mormons, Muslims, Catholics and/or protestants (when one becomes a majority it usually dominates the others). It's those horrible atheists who, through the creation and strict application of the scientific method, have developed so many things that improve lives and make the world safer. Yes, I admit those horrible atheists have had a few misses but I would still venture to say that human beings have a much better quality of life than humans did in the middle ages. Jeees we are just a bunch of assholes. Those Christians are right, we really should listen to them and adopt their beliefs about the world and how it works. *sarcasm off*

Though the "pagans" (the word "pagan" being a matter of perspective) had it first, perhaps you could grant the Christians this one. As for every other day of the year except Easter, how about I have on my car a magnet that says "Keep reason in reason".
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
