Now, David Carradine and his NDE's had it going on. Woot Woot!
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Atheism and science are not even remotely related.  The two have nothing in common.  Most atheists accept most science, but one can both be atheistic and deny all science.


Agree with you, Asmodee.  Popular comedian and atheist Bill Maher famously rejects that vaccines are safe or called for.  Being an atheist doesn't require science, naturalism or an above average IQ.  It is just the lack of belief in gods.  Full stop.

Hasn't he "evolved" on that issue over the last couple of years?  I seem to remember that he used to be pretty adamant that he wasn't an atheist, but now has no problem accepting the moniker.  I may be mistaken, though.
Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately?  Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use.  Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel.  Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.

Why? To harvest their organs at night?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Do you mean about the vaccine?  If so, I hadn't heard he has changed his position.  But he has always copped to being an atheist since I've been watching his show.

Older than Haloween in Continental Europe. It was called world savings day and was to promote getting an account.

Because they have no answers?  It's a question I ask all the time and never get any answers from theists.  How do they know anything that they claim to know about their supposed gods?  No clue.
