Country: | As I said, I have a problem with religious fundamentalists. Religion can be a great, constructive thing if taken in the right spirit, the right perspective. Killing and murdering for religion (or anything else for that matter) is not right, plain and simple.
Religion is fine. Its a personal choice. So is atheism. As long as we don't start killing each other, everything's okay. |

| Reincarnation of course ! First you will have to relive everyones feelings caused to them by you (aka purgatory) and then move to another body. Just my favorite theory, probably just to fill a void with inability to imagine NOTHINGNESS

Atheism is a religion.
My advice, go read "The Power of Now" and forget everything else  |

DNF$: 2,690 Location: Grand Rapids, MI | Atheism, at least in its most reasonable definition, is not a religion. It is a lack of religion, or the opposite of religion. It is a belief that there is a consistent, reasonable, natural, scientific explanation for everything in the universe, without resorting to the supernatural to fill in any gaps.
Many see the lack of a complete "doctrine" full of knowledge and explanations as a negative point against atheism. Actually, it is a positive. The language of science is not written in stone. It is open to new discoveries, new theories, new explanations. The only condition is that new theories are testable, repeatable, and do a better job of explaining problems than their predecessors. Those are no small criteria. But using them, mankind has been able to build an amazing textbook of life fleshing out many branches of the natural universe - physics, geology, biology, etc.
I would put that textbook up against any religious text out there.
But what did this have to do with domaining again? |

Doc, you can come to worship naked, but spandex and cowboy boots will score point with the ladies.

**Turns up the CCR** | Me in spandex would make you atheist if you believe in God or turn you into a nun if you were atheist.
Remember, if you hear banjo music, paddle faster!
And my nakedness, yeah...you would believe in creationism and evolution.
