Um... thanks?

*Argument.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

This, especially if no one knows who you are and you haven't met 30/30. Just looks like spam otherwise.

OK summary

Quote:Time and again, we put religious claims under the white hot light of science, reason and the evidence, and almost invariably, those claims dissolve in the face of the facts.

Yet they persist. They continue. They are everywhere.

JT Eberhard is host of the popular blog, "What Would JT Do (<snip>).&... An atheist, advocate for LGBT rights, co-founder of Skepticon and sought-after public speaker. In this podcast, JT weighs in with his perspective on the worst (and most frustrating) arguments that skeptics encounter in the debate arena.

Outside of his work as an activist, JT Eberhard is a veteran of the Springfield Regional Opera's Young Artist Program. A baritone, JT has a handful of professional roles to his credit with various companies including work under the directorship of two-time Grammy-winner James Billings.

'Crazy' is a term of art; 'Insane' is a term of law. Remember that, and you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
