Nader was vilified because he knew he wasn't going to be elected, he knew it was an extremely close race between Gore and Bush and his campaign was going to take many votes away from Gore and he went ahead and gave the election to Bush. No matter what you have to say about Gore he would still have been a better president than Bush and I still dislike Nader for giving Bush the white house. That said I'm going to vote for Dennis Kucinich!

2. BBC man says 'I was wrong to lose it. But these scientologists are truly scary'

tedlove, yes any myth can sound ridiculous but scientology seems particularly so. But it isn't so much that it's tenents are more ridiculous than other faiths but the actions of it's members. My only contact with scientology was once trying to read dianetics (which was total crap) but if you look at the groups history they are truely scary. The leaders have been tried and convicted of spying on the IRS and US agencies, the members are taught and commonly use a tactic called bullbaiting on opponents of "the faith". This consists of getting in the persons face and agressivly slandering them to the point of makeing them "snap" like this reporter or to prod them to physical action so legal action can be taken against them. Go to utube or other video site and look for xenu tv, they have recorded this tactic being used on them repeadedly. They truely do seem scary to anyone opposing them. I could go on but all my information is second hand so if your interested you should look into it yourself.

3. Kirk Cameron Proves That God Exists

Ok, the atheists won no question, Kirk and Ray were pathetic if polished when they actually had something to say. I think Brian and Kelly did do a good job but their public speaking and debating skills obviously need some work but if they keep at it they will get better and atheists need good spokespeople so I think it's important that young outspoken atheists are doing this kind of thing.

I on the other hand have been an atheist for over 20 years and have never argued for my beliefs other than in very small comfortable gatherings. I would like to change that so I made the terribly bad decision to respond to the emails the RRS were recieving from christians on their website, and was quickly attacked by angry, rude, hateful, personally abusive email from the same. I think it's great that the RRS is advertising at tiger beat, we need to get information to people while they are still young enough to have an open mind. The christians trolling atheists websites are certainly not in that group.

4. World's most prominent atheist takes on the Biblical God (and other topics)

I watched a few minutes of this and I recommend you skip it, no information at all. A quick mention of a headline followed by several minutes of religous bable denouncing any other viewpoint. Truely astounding that people can watch these inane broadcasts but even more so that they support them.
