Shun SO
If you ask me, mods are quite right not to ban SO. I, for one, don't want to live in a paternal world, so I will do my part to help deal with those of SO's racist attitudes. Rahvin has decided to shun SO and I fully support and join Rahvin in this.

Greentwiga is to be congratulated for the Message 183 below. Here's to hoping he sticks around for a long, long time.

I was thoroughly chastised by myself when I read through the site I posted to realize that it was a creationist hoax. Everyone very kindly told me what a dummy I was to believe that scientists originated the hoax. I couldn't respond to this thread till my face stopped flaming red.

Choosing Your Words
but to be sure that it couldn't be?
​
that there could NOT be a God?
​
Atheism is not the belief that there could not be gods. Atheism is lack of belief in gods. Your brand of atheism has the atheist walking around actively denying something. Where some may have an "extreme aversion to anything resembling spirituality", it doesn't stem out of atheism, though that may lead to it once the "extreme aversion to anything resembling spirituality" resolves into "What should I have for lunch?"
​
The world breaks everyone, and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those it cannot break, it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these, you can be sure that it will kill you too, but there will be no special hurry.

Not one that wouldn't be hidden under a basket.

When cometh the day
We lowly ones
Through quiet reflection
And great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we'll make
The bugger's eyes water
