Comment by Imaginary Cat Owner on Friday: One of the most interesting debate between Theists and Atheists (yes with a capital A) is that If the Bible/Quraan is right then God exist ,and if it was wrong then he doesn't , as If These man written books have anything to do With the God of the Universe who have been unseen since the dawn of Humanity

Comment by Joan Denoo on May 16, 2013 at 9:20pm: I am so grateful that science refused to be subdued by religion. My life with breast cancer has so much more meaning with science and the options it offers me than faith in delusions could ever have. My team of medical professionals and my team of emotional supporters have something to offer that is real and does not depend on denial of reality.
Thank you, all my atheist professionals and friends who do more than rub their hands together and make verbal noises; just so much babel in a sea of platitudes signifying nothing.

Comment by Napoleon Bonaparte on May 15, 2013 at 1:05am: Hi Steph,

It's for my new video 'Metal Urbain - Snuff movie.' It's only 2 minutes and 47 seconds long and is the second video I have done for the punk band. The image is a google doodle celebrating Saul Bass who made movie posters and the like. I messed around with it on Paint and Moviemaker and used acted snuff movie clips instead of the real thing and applied effects. It took about 12 hours to think of it, find the materials and make it.

I like punk art and will make more videos in the future.
