  my great nephew, 8 months old, was killed yesterday.

  so far appears to have been murdered by his sitter, a couple with whom my nephew and his girlfriend have been living.

  they beat and drowned this little baby.

  Sorry about your loss.
  
  Your dad is brainwashed. Using the Memorial as a weapon is bad form.

  As soon as I was out of the dubs I registered and voted. Glad I did, it was an empowering experience.

  Today I learned not to be afraid to be called Atheist

  by Gopher in

  i was inspired to go by a fellow poster on the board who encouraged me to examine atheism a little more closely.

  i am glad i went.. (now if anyone wants to come here and encourage me to be religious, sorry i won't respond to that on this thread.

  feel free to start your own thread about the wonders of belief.).

  Welcome. I too consider myself an atheist and questioned why some consider the need for agnostism in the first place.
  
  You might enjoy this article from the magazine 'tricyle'.

  Fundamentalists and 'militant' atheists both have it wrong, according to this author.

  Evolution doesn't attempt to explain the origin of life. Ben Stein apparently doesn't understand what Darwinism is.
  
  The fear tactics are disgusting in the trailer.
  
  So Ben, if life is too complex to have evolved, who created God? O wait, he always existed? What if the universe has always existed?

  this afternoon i attended the ca, pioneer / pioneer / pioneer / pioneer, everything else you might need to do in life is not important.
