Well, wouldn't the homeopathic water work for that extender? We have to some lab tests, I think. Anybody have a lab? Or a golden retriever?

Huh?

Agreed, though I wouldn't speak for atheists that live in the Babble Belt.

Heh...the title of this thread is the exact same one I used for one of my first speeches at Toastmasters. It was well received by a group composed of mostly religious and woo types.

Atheists are the new gay...one thing I give the US huge credit for is fighting for equal rights. We'll get there.

It's true, we may be 100 years behind some other countries, but we'll limp there in the end.

But first we must pick the next group to inherit the mantle of 'least trusted'... :demon:

I don't trust anyone that doesn't feel the lick of hellfire at their sinning heel.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

There're better jokes about 'em, anyway:

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. -Thomas Jefferson
