bummer as interesting as this sounds my computer would not let me see it! I really need to get high speed!
I watched the video. I don't agree with all of it... being someone who believes in evolution, a follower of the ancient religions, and a person with a rather high IQ. :-D However, I will say it gave me a LOT to think on! I do wish people did not consider only Christians, Jews and Muslims as religious though! I despise those who are too scared to think for themselves or to question things and hide that fear in religion. However, that being said, I've always held a certain prejudices against atheism... guess I need to start thinking more for myself as well!
Val, I hope you are not prejudiced against me as I am an atheist but, I also feel people have the right to believe in whatever it is they want to believe in and I will defend their right to the death. I embrace diversity 100% and really enjoy learning about other people's beliefs be it religion, politics, culture and all things that make up our wonderful world of differences.
Nope - not prejudiced against you. My problem is I've run across atheists that tend to vocalize the fact that they're "too smart" to believe in a god (read: I'm dumb for believing in deity). After a while, I realized I had let myself become jaded into thinking Atheists were arrogant. Anyhow - I did enjoy your post - as I said it gave me a lot to think about!
