Cool. I read the entire article. A lot of that was spot-on.

I can second that. Have to put this one in my faves when I get back home Smile
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

One wonders how many of our resident, theistic shitheads will even bother reading.

Like their religious bullshit they have already been told what to believe and can see no argument against those beliefs....no matter how fucking silly they are.

Nice find, Summer.

I got it from your Texan counterpart, Min, on the Skeptalk e-mail list. He's just as crotchety as you. For a while, I thought you had a more poetic alter ego.

Another myth: Atheists only care about themselves.

Total Lie. Atheists have been the best friends and the most generous I have ever known. In truth, if there was something that was remotely fucked up in my life, you can be damn sure there was ALWAYS a christian at the center of it. Every time!

You're poetic like George Carlin, Min - prose flowing over the smooth stones of your curse words.
