1. Religion

I wanted to cry when I heard that George had died. Even though he was a comedian, most of the stuff he said really made me think in addition to making me laugh. I love the way he would always tell the brutal truth, not just about religion but about everything. The way he would confront all of us with our own hypocrisies.

His rants on religon and the ten commandments were some of his best stuff. I'm just glad I was able to see him live four years ago when he did a show in my city.

Now if everyone will excuse me, I'm off to pray to Joe Pesci.

2. Research Volunteers Needed

Did all four, and sent them to all my friends.

I would really love to see how the responses from Christians differ from the responses from Atheists. I know that if I had taken these surveys when I was still a Christian, my responses would have been so incredibly different.

3. Interviews with Richard Dawkins and Michael Shermer

Hitler used religion to justify what he did at least as much as he used natural selection. How interesting that Stein left that part out of his movie.

Someone should really do another movie on this topic, one that sets all of Stein's claims straight and explains evolution, and the physical evidence for evolution, in a way that people can understand......come to think of it, Richard would be the perfect candidate to do this :D

I would do it, but I think I would have trouble financing a documentary.

4. Open Letter to a victim of Ben Stein's lying propaganda

Great letter Richard.

Although I myself am an atheist, my grandfather's family were all German Jews. Nearly all of them were killed by the Nazis. I cannot describe the rage I feel that people like Stein will use what my relatives went through in this manner. This film is an insult to every person murdered by the Nazis. Is this really the reason that my relatives died? To be used as pawns in some idiot's fundamentalist propaganda?

Seriously, as soon as someone starts doing what I call the "Hitler comparison", their credibility is dead to me.

And by the way Stein, belief in something for which there is no evidence: NOT INTELLIGENT.
