Excellent work. Again, bonus marks for swearing; I'm a sucker for rude words. Honestly, there's no point in being polite - theists arn't going to take the RRS seriously, ever, so comical profanity is just a tool to try to get a crowbar of sense into the cranny of doubt in the mind of those this might actually affect.

Most of the time this whole discussion is annoying, but I like the careful response to this.

It's just good to know that for every crazy jerk with a bible in his hand, there's a crazy jerk without one.

From the page: ", so this is like saying that there should be conventions for people who don't like Star Trek. What would they do: hang out and talk about things besides Star Trek?"
This page made me burst out laughing several times because the argument was so excellently put together. Worth the full read despite the length.

Many of you may already have seen the recent anti-atheist screed by one Dr. Roger Olson, a professor of theology at Baylor University.
From the page: ""We have to recognize atheists' full freedom to believe God does not exist, but we don't have to embrace atheism as a social good. In fact, I would argue that atheism has no redeeming social value."
Holy shit, you're right! Atheism has no redeeming social value! How can we possibly get out of this one? Oh, wait, here are three ways we can get out of this one: Not believing in Santa Claus has no redeeming social value, Not believing in Leprechauns has no redeeming social value, and Not believing in the Loch Ness Monster has no redeeming social value. In fact, we can come up with a lot more than three of those. The point, of course, is that no shit the absence of a belief in a made-up thing does not inherently have redeeming social value. We're not arguing that it does."
