@@ Yeah, RAT. What do you call devious people - choir-boys?

"...My experience with the nation's atheist community generally--and
I speak from considerable experience--is that few of its members
think very strategically about how to achieve their goals. They're
too angry, too ready to pop off about religion, too quick to file
lawsuits, too eager to offend people. This is not, in my opinion, how
you achieve positive cultural change. If you want to advance the
cause of atheism and cut through societal prejudices, why not put out
some positive messages for once, about how atheists have morals, have
families, have fun, own houses, contribute to society? " ~ Chris

@@ Unfortunately, perception is reality with most people.

The average professing "Christian" will NOT allow himself to be
taught science by atheists and their sympathizers. It's just that simple.
