Ah good. 
Min is probably one of the most aggressive atheists here. Never afraid to call it as it is. I love the way he never backs down. 
My aggressiveness towards religion and some really stupid theists seems to be increasing rapidly. Can't help but hate them really. They're just so fucking stupid. I can tolerate certain levels of insanity, but not all.
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.

Most 'Special Needs' people ARE Atheistic after getting a raw deal from religious groups.

Why take the risk, Sciwoman?
Because a good number of atheists were believers at one time. Plus, she's at the age where she's most likely to start questioning things. Give her some time to figure things out for herself - at least until after college (another prime time for people to start questioning such things).

Oh yeah? You should tell me all about it when you're taller than the clowns nose. That's a prerequisite for higher education right?

Still seems too risky.
