"I went to college in Pullman, immediately across the border from Moscow. And I had no idea Moscow so progressive! Must be some conglomeration of two college towns right next to each other - they bring out the intelligence, right? :-)"

"I'm not sure I agree, although I'm of two minds on this topic. Yes, I believe your actions would be MORE altruistic should you be doing something for others without the added desire to please a nonexistent entity. But isn't altruism…"

"Personally I think religion needs its faithful doubters, the ones who believe in their god but still question his existance from time to time. These are the people who keep the churches looking sane. The dangerous ones are always the mindless sheep…"

I mean, obviously if you're a religious person, and you feel abandoned by your God, you're in a bad spot in your life to begin with. Wouldn't you think it would just be fodder for the noose route for the church to be saying that not only are you in a bad spot right now, but that it's YOUR fault that God left…See More
Marci B replied to Goz's discussion Can atheists be parents?
"I have no words. No words. I have a pit in my stomach right now from hearing about the fate of that poor little girl. If this judge didn't live 3000 miles away from me I would be on his doorstep screaming right now.
Oh, wait...it wouldn't…"
Marci B replied to Aaron Landes's discussion My daughter and my funeral.
