Sorry on that.
You know, the problem I have with threads like that is their implied absolutes in the title. You see what's happening. Certain people jump at the opportunity to assign a dogma to us. Granted, they're dishonest and don't even try to dig deeper or to have an honest discussion. But if I'm fighting for one thing on the atheist front, it'sindividuality and being recognized as an individual who subscribes to nothing else than disbelief in the atheist department.

How about
8 free from pointless guilt about the fact that you're human
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Christians are only free to run and dance.

Think of the time saved from having to evaluate 40,000 Christian schisms in a hopeless task of trying to discern the One True Faith.
{By the way, the correct answer is {spoiler alert} Congregation of Jehovah's Presbytery of Zion.}
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I share these views totally. As I said the other day

These are my views and nothing I say is meant to counter tem. I just wish I had made that clearer the first time.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Hey, beer is the intelligent man's drink. It made Bud wiser.
