Shawn Short replied to Danny's discussion 'What if there is a god?'
very well said... many of us (non-theists) tend to assert our own opinions as pure fact, and yet we mock those that we disagree with (as i do with anyone opposed to evolution)... we HAVE to be carefull that we dont become the very ignorance and…

i agree Mr DePaulo...i doubt we will ever convert or even educate the ID clans...but my one hope is to be able to depunk them or expose their lack of scientiffic validity to the masses on the fence that they are trying to reach

wow...i am still able to be surprised that it takes a FEDERAL court to remind a school that it is not only unethical but unCONSTITUIONAL to get in bed with a religious institution and in a northern state no less

Welcome! You are now at a place where you will be comfortable with others who share the same world view point as yours when it comes to the fundamental value of TRUTH.

Please feel free to join my group Pat Condell who pulls no punches when it comes to voicing his opinion about religion. I post regular You Tube videos which are brilliantly apt regards current affairs put across with wry humor.

Hi Shawn Short, and welcome to this friendly meeting place where freethinking atheists recognise that religion is nothing less than a huge fraud aimed at controlling vulnerable superstitious people, especially defenceless children; and
how tragic and inexcusable it is that women and minorities have been oppressed these last two thousand years and even longer.

Terry Meaden
founder of the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Evolution, Darwin..." with its 280 discussion topics. We invite you to join us.
