I don't expect any less of Atheists, as I do believe that moral etiquette is not exclusive to theists. In fact, moral etiquette is lacking in most every place I can see. And, to be furthered later, I am not upset that they are not acting up to my, or common standards.
Pippy,
This is the most astute observation I have seen you make. Atheists can be both moral and show proper decorum. I would maintain that they are separate issues but I get where you are coming from.
We all take our jabs at each other and some jab harder than others. By the way, you will talk to Kyu again, you know it, I know it, get used to the idea. He has interesting things to say. I just wish he would let his rants stand as written because they amuse me.

You maintaining the effects of theology are never negative and effects of numerology and astrology cannot be significant and positive?
Do you have an advanced degree in theology and numerology and astrology which qualifys you to make that statement?
Dotard,
You should check out http://www.astro.com. Go to "Free Horoscopes" select the "Short Horoscopes - Personal Portrait". You will need to know the hour of your birth. I did it and the whole report was pretty specific and applied to me.
I don't live my life according to horoscopes or anything, I just find it odd how well I match up to a description based on the date and hour of my birth on some website.
