this is a great thread. I had a huge argument with my cultural diversity teacher over this very fact.
she's a christian of sorts and I'm an atheist, and she argued in class one day that one had to have religion behind a belief to make it a belief. I was really angry at that assertion, and argued that my beliefs were just as valid as hers, by all the principles of social justice that Community Services work by [which is what I'm studying].
She then argued that my non-faith based beliefs were less important on the whole...
I really feel like putting a complaint in about her...

Quote:Frankly, I wish that the fruits of my work useful and glorious appearing of the world that the fruits of my labor awaken the mind and unlock the feeling of those who are deprived of light.
Ridiculous to say, outside the sky was nothing.
There is not one world, one earth, one sun, but as many worlds as we see bright sparks on us.
Giordano Bruno
