"Joan, I am truly impressed by the eloquent manifesto in your recent/previous post. And yes, we must reverse religion's progress and loosen its grip on humanity before it's too late (and it almost is)."

I agree on ALL counts, your take on Dr. Tyson's charisma, entertainment value, love of kids, love of science, etc - and a vastly superior knowledge set to my own, to boot. In…"

"It often seems to me that these questions are really as difficult for the Atheist as they are for the believers. They often can't see past their beliefs to understand any other world view.

kazim said… - my name is Mohammad ,from Iraq ,muslim,but I hate Islam,prophet Mohammad and Quran.
I want to leave my religion forever and be without any religion.
All religions are the stories and legends created by people to achieve their personal interests and control the minds of human .
I do not believe that "god is exist.
I do not want any one or religion control on me.
I want to be free in my life.
I am looking for freedom and paces in this universe
my dear friend? I'm suffering a lot in my community.
You know if any one wanted to change his religion or be without any religion, they will kill him.
So I hope to help me.

- Hi Jack: Just came across your name in searching and i thought I might obtain you work in both the NT and OT. You responded to my comments on trying to get through the Bible on books on tape. I finally did it but it was difficult and boring in many spots especially the design of tent and all the genealogy. The question I have are your works on tape--easier traveling around the countryside listening than finding the time to read.

- Hi Jack! My parents live in the Villages! We visit there a couple of times a year. They too are non believers though I don't think they call themselves Atheists.
