"I don't recall freedom of religion meaning no religion"

At least in the midst of all the venom, she got one thing right: Atheism is NOT a religion.

Shade 51 :

we can have the beautiful and perfect world we're all living in today.

Yes, so perfect and beautiful that some sick bastards have kidnapped an innocent child. Can your dog (sorry, god) tell us where little Madeleine is? I promise you if he can, I will worship him for the rest of my life!!

5. Scientists Draw Link Between Morality And Brain's Wiring

Mind_Rebel: If your comments are genuinely the beliefs your young mind is struggling with, then I applaud you for having the gall to try and express them. I don't mean to take the moral high ground here, but it is obvious that there are posters on this site whose intellect far surpasses Mind Rebel's - maybe they should know better and try to be a little more sensitive when criticising him.

On a more appreciative note, I am so glad to have come across the above article. I was in a relationship with someone whose beliefs were so important to him that I strongly suspected there was something not quite right with his moral perspectives. Interestingly, he was also unable to empathise and therefore did not realise the hurt and pain he would often cause.

One good thing that came out of the relationship though was that I questioned the existence of god and my very simple little brain just couldn't accept that 2 + 2 = 5.

6. The Paradoxical Hatred of Christopher Hitchens

Fist time posting!

I am beginning to suspect that people like Falwell (and all the fundies) are really the people missing the "moral gene" and therefore find guidance and comfort in the bible/quran etc.! Falwell's comments made so many people unhappy, he was unable to grasp the impact of his comments until they were pointed out to him. His apologies were not therefore genuine. Maybe these people are just one step away from being sociopaths.
