Anti-theism is cooler than you

"Those who believe it is possible to lead an ethical life without religion, who are agnostic or atheist, who believe in the separation of church and state must learn to fight back."

"We too have strong convictions, we too can be offended, insulted and annoyed, and we have to say we're not going to put up with it. Our opinions must be taken into account."

"I'm fed up being told that one mustn't upset the feelings of the God-believing. They keep saying their 'kingdom' is not of this world. Well, let them stick to that."


Christopher Hitchens, quoted in the Toronto Star, Nov. 19/2005, by Lynda Hurst

hey! i can comment again!

i went to a lecture one day, where PARTY members were brainwashed regularly about how great the party is. i took with me a novel about how great secular love is to kill the time. in the book was a bookmark quoting Bible preaching how great God is...interesting coincidence, isn't it?

Man. I love my friends.

Weijia, it's great to have you onboard again. And I like that you can walk around so self-assured, and be so ironic and hilarious in such bizarre situations.
