  npr has revived an old radio thing from the 50's called "this i believe".

  the one yesterday had penn jillette (kind of my hero anyway) getting around there requirement for a positive assertion of faith, by saying he positivily believes there is no god.. anyway, it's now become my favorite essay.

  here's the link with the text and a link to the audio.

  Cool little article from Richard Dawkins

  i know, i know, the evolution vs creation thing has been flogged to death lately, but i thought this was a great article, with the standard level of dawkins sarcasm, which used to irritate the hell out of me when i was a dub, and now i just love it.. on a side note, i've given up and resorted to ie when going to this site.

  i miss my beloved firefox already, sniff, sniff.. .

  finally, guilt at just being a lurker has driven me onto the board.

  not that i feel i have much to add, but did want to extend my appreciation for much of the information and insight i have received from many of the posters here.. i suppose some brief synopsis of my story should be forthcoming.

  its very similar to many of stories i have read here.. was raised in the truth ,third generation on both sides.
