Okay, I'm not sure if this should go here or in the "water cooler" section, but here goes. It's not even really an "atheist" topic, but it is "community" I guess. I just have to vent somewhere and…Continue

"I'm reading it now, but must return it to the library before I'm finished. I'm guessing you've finished it by now - what is your opinion overall? So far, I think he makes a good case for objectively determining the…"

"I didn't think he was any harder on Islam than Christianity. Middle Eastern culture got a pretty rough ride, especially blood feuds, but I think that's cultural and not prescribed by Islam, and it was a perfect example for point he was…"

"I haven't read the book, but from my knowledge of Islam, there is very little worth defending. I am liberally slanted also."

Caperton Miller replied to Jezzy's discussion Death
"Here's what I say to my kids (10 & 4 years old), when they ask about death or like "where do we go when we die?", I say, "Do you remember where you were before you were born?". They usually answer "No." So I…"

Caperton Miller replied to Jennifer W's discussion Do you believe Jesus existed?
"Read Philip Pullman's new book "The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Chirst". Interesting read from a good atheist. Maybe TWO Jesus's existed!"
Michelle replied to Caperton Miller's discussion Fire everyone at work! (Any small business owners out there?)
"I'm glad it all worked out well. My work experience recently has been awful and now I can't find anything. Hopefully your regular trust in the employees as a whole will not be too diminished by this behavior. It seems that some of them…"

"The problem? I explained it in my original post. But basically I was just venting. My General Manager talked me off the ledge too. We ARE deciding to talk to people individually."

GBM Harper replied to Caperton Miller's discussion Fire everyone at work! (Any small business owners out there?)
"I am self-employed, and my wife "works" for me. I put "works" in quotes not because she doesn't work, but because I can't really think of it as a boss/employee situation. Tried that. Not pretty!
I can't count the…"

"The question that first popped into my mind was, did they know the importance of showing up on time this specific day? I don't know if this was a weekend day or a regular week day but in my experience some people come in late because they work…"
