Why the need to weigh them against each other? Assuming the answer is “no, I feel more empathy towards the illegal detainees”, what is the point you are making?
Dean, you can put up your link now. The one you probably want us to visit. You’re hit-fishing, right? Trolling to get hits to your site and stuff. To do that, you kinda need to put up your site’s URL.
Go on, we’ll throw a couple of hits your way, just to increase your stats. Hopefully that’ll give you all the attention you’re trying to get by trolling us lesser atheists and agnostics.
I don’t get what your problem is. You perceive us to be a group of weak people in need of support or something based merely on the fact that we congregate, and because of this you feel the express desire to announce that, what, you’re better than us because you don’t need a group?
I’m also not sure if your arrogance stems your being a believer or being a nonbeliever with no need for groups. Which is it? Do you belong to the One True Church? Or are you perhaps among the “real atheists and agnostics” we give a “bad rap” to by congregating?
From your comment above it seems you’re the latter, but you reek of a Higher Moral Ground for some reason, which makes me think of a church.
So the prize is, we put the book of your choice in the FF Library, and you get first dibs? I like it. I could write to get more science books in the library.
You forget that it’s not only the man who benefits from contraceptives, but also the woman. The church tries to make all women out to be virginal Marys with no interest in sex, fit only to play the gender role of taking care of children at home. Fuck that.
This Moral Law the church is fond of conduring seeks to impose “consequences” on women who choose not to submit to their stereotype of the virgin mary, so that she is not “[reduced] to being a mere instrument for the satisfaction of [men's] desires”, never mind what the woman wants, or that the sex is consensual.
According to the church, every woman who doesn’t submit to them is a slut and needs to suffer the consequences.
He wants attention, and he’s getting it, whether by blog hits or page fans. Just ignore the bugger, “un-Fan” the page and let him drown in his ignorance. Nobody takes him seriously, and he has crossed from humorously ridiculous to just plain ridiculous.

Astiiiiiiiiiiiiig!! Wonderfully well-thought, expertly written, I’m sure many others besides myself thought “Exactly what I wanted to say!!” You just captured the very sentiments I wanted to convey in an Ignite talk, Why Science Is Better Than Superstition.
Congrats on being the first FF-UPD to post! And what an article; way to set the bar high. =) looking forward to more posts from you and other FF-UPD members!
Like I like to say, for the world we have to exist, God cannot be All-Loving, All-Knowing, and All-Powerful. If he exists, at least one of these three must be missing.

Condom use like legalizing free sex?

Who says agnostics are atheists without balls?
February 27th, 2010 at 10:33 am@Michael: If I asked you whether if I was wearing an orange shirt right now, what would you say? Yes? No?
Sometimes, “I don’t know” is the logical response.
