I hope i succeed once in a while.ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062585218369513464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363448.post-81987391040887087322011-02-04T13:03:11.114-05:002011-02-04T13:03:11.114-05:00isn't haiku supposed to be

Like Linux zealots^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hevangelists complaining about 'M$'. My reaction is the same: "uhh, ok there, no need to get excited...you go ahead and do your thing, buddy."<BR/><BR/>Is secularism really under attack? What do theists do to you in your everyday life that warrants the vitriol spewed in their direction?<BR/><BR/>Admittedly, I say this as someone who grew up in this largely secular, open society. I have never been persecuted for my choice not to have faith, let along been threatened with harm or death. But I also do not think that Canada or the US are in danger of becoming places where refusing to profess faith is a potentially bodily harmful thing to do, and treating it like we're headed that way is an overreaction that weakens the (valid!) arguments that evangelical atheism makes.Fraxashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01250589389977400643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363448.post-53048026005813875962007-09-14T20:06:00.000-04:002007-09-14T20:06:00.000-04:00hi ivo, thanks for visiting. i suspect censors are...hi ivo, thanks for visiting. i suspect censors are moved by religion of revenue, not of abraham, so they could not care less about what dawkins has to say. there is not much one can do.
