I have been interested in athiesm for some time, and have considered myself one for several years. I have read some Richard Dawkins and Cristopher Hitchens and admire both the content and style with which they present their very pertinent and on target observations. I am appalled at the power organized religion has over individuals and government, particularly the growing "American Taliban" and its Canadian counterpart. Religion has no place in government, schools and work places. I am angered by the presumption of religious people that their views can and should be aired at every oppurtunity, yet feel that I do not have the same right as an athiest. My sense of humor is tickled by the whole Flying Spaghetti Monster movement, as I deeply appreciate the sarcasm and thinly veiled condescension toward fundamentalists, even while I realize they just don't get it. I look forward to great conversations with other free thinkers.
