Nothing
Is Sacred.
"Men will never be free until the last king is strangled
with the entrails of the last priest." - Denis Diderot
(Note:
I did not write the following but I could have. I found this
on reddit.com, penned by a user named "Shebangdotat". Enjoy.
=mike=)
About
a year ago or so I discovered creationisn. At first I was stunned.
How could anyone honestly believe that? I became curious and
I started researching. I watched hundreds of YouTube videos,
I read Dawkins, downloaded talks by Sam Harris, followed discussions
on various sites, subscribed to the atheism reddit.
Today it all came together. It just clicked.
And therefore a big thank you to you.
Why?
You introduced me to Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Cristopher
Hitchens and other intelligent and - dare I say - wise authors.
You renewed my interest in science.
You showed me how ridiculous and even dangerous religion is,
and I have learned a lot about how bad fundamentalist religion
can get.
Because of you I now see how wonderful evolution is.
Because of you I have learned so much about reasoning and debating.
I wouldn't have read Dawkins, were it not for you. I wouldn't
have Einstein and Hawkins on my reading list, had you not renewed
my childhood fascition for science. I wouldn't have found all
those wonderful videos about evolution, biology or astrophysics
that have expanded my common knowledge.
I wouldn't know what Occam's Razor was and how awful the Bible
or the Quran really is. Because of you I found the evidence
and the reasons I needed to fully convince me.
You have killed every last trace of suspicion in me, you have
freed my mind completely from any trace of superstition. I
now know that there is nothing supernatural. I mean, I really
know. Not only rationally, but I now understand it. You have
freed my mind from any last trace of catholicism.
You made a firm atheist out of me.
And therefore I thank you.

John "Stray Calf" McCain Fun Facts:
|
While I'm borrowing stuff, this
is from "Bill
in Portland Maine", a contributor to dailykos.com:
If...
You don't know how to use the internet, you don't know that
Czechoslovakia is no longer a country, you don't know Sunni
from Shia, you don’t know much about the economy, you're
uninformed about women's health issues, you don't know whether
you're for or against gay adoption, stem cell research or
setting a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq, you don't know
what countries share a border with Pakistan, you don't know
when the surge began, you no longer object to waterboarding
or closing Guantanamo, you don't tell the truth about your
votes on veterans issues, you said Putin was the leader of
Germany, you think alternative energy means switching from
regular to premium, you say you know how to win wars but
you haven't actually won any, your idea of a funny joke is
suggesting different ways to kill people in other countries,
you want to keep giving tax breaks to the wealthy but not
the middle and lower class, you confuse Somalia with Sudan,
you thought voting for the Iraq war was an exercise in good
judgment, you once said "I disagree with what the majority
of Americans want," you think Social Security is "a
disgrace," your idea of health care is apparently 'take
more vitamins,' you voted to support Bush's policies 95 percent
of the time last year and 100 percent of the time this year,
and over the course of a single week you unfairly attacked
both your opponent's patriotism and his humanity...
Then tell me again, Senator McCain: why should Americans vote
for you?
