No point
Well if the recent debate I was just in is anything to go by some atheists here are just as closed minded as any other group with pet beliefs.
Not once did any of them even address any of the mainstream philosophical points and just resorted to pet replies and name calling.
I'm not sure how we can overcome this?

I guess with so few atheists on A/N joining your "crusade" and becoming members of Pro-Life Nonbelievers...(11) there isn't any way that you'll be able to OVERCOME....

:) As I said Sydni most people run with the herd, it is too much effort too think outside their box, so why should atheists be any different? Certainly even you must have come up against libertarian atheists who cannot accept that humans can have an adverse impact on the environment.
You maybe right though, it is nearly impossible to overcome those with closed minds. I've found it much easier to talk with moderate Pro-Choicers who are at least willing to go beyond street corner mantras.

Erp, Burp, owing to slurp!
The catch in this case may be that the prosecutors participated in the framing of the plaintiffs before the trail began. As I understand it, prosecutorial immunity from liability attaches only when the trial begins (or so the plaintiffs argue). I ...
That's pretty interesting and I'm fairly sure there are some drugs involved with the developements of such theories.

Here is the link again. Not sure why links don't seem to go up on A/N. I have had this happen more than once.

Hmm, I think it would feel awesome and liberating to sunbathe nude. Never really had a place to do that though.
You may live in one of those rare places that aren't hospitable to most wildlife, the sort of a place where only a human being (and their four-legged hangers-on, like rats and coyotes) would, or could, willingly reside.
In any case, once a cat ha...

I stood up last night at a Central Forum. AA New York only holds 4 of these each year in the U.S., and this weekend it was in my home town. I stood up and identified myself as the GSR for the Atheists and Spirituality group, and I know I heard a f...
this is also why I support the liberal idea of preventing crime by helping people slums and impoverished communities rather than making harsher punishments for them.
The prevention of crime is more important then the "revenge" aspect of punishment
Pascal came from a culture steeped in Christianity, its influence, its dominance, and its fear-mongering. Science in his time was hardly in its infancy, and the brand of rational thought we enjoy now was a stark rarity in his time. Anyone in Pasca...
(In =P) my experience, people who know that their bad behavior will go unpunished are more likely to act badly in the future.
ok, but that is rather childish thinking. I don't think that a lot of people here are like that. We are all here pursuin...
Why do we exist?
As far as I can tell, we're here simply as the result of a series of fortunate accidents. Life arose on this planet by natural processes and humans are just one of the myriads of experimental life forms that evolution produced.
His shape or his habits?
