I've just begun reading "The God Delusion," by Oxford professor Richard

I like most about Dawkins is his evangelical zeal for atheism. Most
atheist seem to be rather passive sorts. His web site is
www.richarddawkins.net which includes an atheist help and resource
center wherein are listed the contact info for many atheist/humanist
organizations, including two for ex-Muslims who have arrived at the
realization that "Islam is a hoax," and another founded by a rabbi to
promote the nontheist aspects of Jewish culture. There is even one
based in nearby Bradenton, an organization that I never knew about.
Maybe I can pass out their tracts in downtown Sarasota. I'll do almost
anything to purge a religi-bumpkin of his delusional mental illness.

I imagine you enjoy the same sucess in that purging that you enjoy when
you try to sell the chess community on the Mensa model.

If Tom Klem were still around, you would get a vigorous defense of the
theists' position, the logic of which is well demonstrated in this
debate concerning the relative merits of Islam and Christianity:

Sadly, Tom is no longer with us. I know I am not alone in considering
his loss a significant blow to the group.

A word of caution, however, Vince: be careful what you wish, lest
Bachler rears his ugly
head again.

Ugh!


Frankly, I am so bored by rgcp these days that almost anything would be
more interesting.
