Quote:Thoughts? What would you change? Here in Australia,we have a technical term which pretty well covers the list: "What a load of hot cock" Atheism is about belief,or more precisely, the lack of it. There is nothing whatsoever that 'as an atheist', ANYONE needs to know,teen or adult. End of Lesson#1.Never ask for an opinion here unless you really want an honest answer.
I concur with Pad here and there seems to be some personal bias and many strawmen in that book. Also I noticed you putted catholicism ans christianism in defferent sections: They are Xtians too
In it self the booklet is not bad, I just read the first 20 pages and I take little issue with it. It does seem to want to interlink science and reason a lot with atheism while atheism in itself doesn't need to be linked to any of that, but then again a lot of the western atheist are at least somewhat science minded so its not a big deal to me.

Pointless. Teens should be learning about sex, drugs (inc. booze), money, and their talents. Religion or the lack of it isn't about to land them any of these (unless they become a priest, then there are alter boys).

I'd love to completely link the two as well, but then you have people like Joe Rogan who don't believe in the moon landing...
I like it.
but than again, I'm not an atheist, so my perspective may be considered a lot less valid.
It's embarrassing to have to side with Sae
[not really Sae(can we still be mortal enemies?)]
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Speaking of the walking dead, how you feeling, more or less psychotic?
