Optimist, eh?
You'll get over that.
Because, you know, sitting down and shutting up has historically changed the world so much.
At least we atheists didn't cost the Democrats the election. We'd never hear the end of that.
Sometimes I just slay myself. And no, you, wise-ass in the back row, that's not a promise.
The idea that a few non-believers on an Internet yak-board could influence the election in...oh, just about any way...always tickles the Rick Warren out of me.
I still can't believe they fling that one at us every 4 years. Usually when the Freedom From Religion Foundation commits some atrocity, like actually standing up for the First Amendment instead of playing Internet Constitutional Lawyer on places like DU.
To partly explain my absence, I've been searching out places more like the old DU. You know, where conversations aren't hijacked by some thin-skinned professional grudge-holder who is still pissed that they never got to be Hall Monitor in junior high.
And get off my lawn...
(I still visit Religion pretty often, but strictly for the lulz, as the kids say nowadays.)
I'm not exactly a big fan of atheism myself, but nobody deserves to be attacked simply for their beliefs.
Here. 
Not looking for a fight either. Saw you posted here on a thread that had been dead for weeks and had not posted there, where people were awaiting responses. Seemed odd that you would do that, which is why I asked.
