I've heard tell of a little place on the planet where you can go and be surrounded by people who are just as ardent as you are.

It's called the bible belt.

Yeah, I was going to post about this a couple weeks ago. The thread title was going to be "Why I'm Never Moving To England". The short answer is that the UK doesn't have free speech, I guess.
"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."

And yet Muslims can protest with signs threatening to kill anyone that ridicules their stupid religion and that's ok.

I don't agree with kicking them out, it's there opinion and no one is asking you to agree. I look at it like this: Freedom of speech is a wonderful way to know if someone is a cunt. As evidence I have Bill O'Reilly and Pat Robertson. I know I can completely ignore them as they're not having to hide anything.

Don't forget Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, & Glenn Beck.

That's irony for you. They are attacking the very freedom that allows them to express themselves. Dark age beasts. Primitive animals who have yet to evolve intelligence. Should put them in zoos. 'Primitive man before mankind left the caves'. Take your kids and say "see! That's how stupid we used to be thousands of years ago". Big Grin
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.

That's no different than some of the shit you see here in America.

The rabble are a stupid lot. Rome survived on Colosseum games for a reason.
