I was thinking of doing the same. Abra, your signature is a bit ridiculous. Atheists are unimaginative? You define unimaginative as not believing in things just because people tell you to? That is just ignorant. Also, no one is saying science has answered every question about the universe. Science is a possibly never-ending search for knowledge.

There are extremely over-bearing atheists who proselytize that there cannot possibly be a spiritual essence to reality and they claim this is an indisputable proven fact, yet other atheists don't speak out against that nonsense either.
It's funny how non-rationalists confuse "proselytizing" with "educating with facts".
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."
