Why is it so important for atheists to convince others that there is no God?

The only people proselytizing to me in the last 8 months have been extraordinarily loud atheists. No fundies, just atheists. Isn't there something wrong with that??

Choggie, in that same speech you quoted so selectively, the president also called Ahmadinejad "intellectually ignorant," called him out for being a Holocaust denier, and demanded that he cease actions that would subject the Iranian people to further sanctions (nuclear development).

Even should he decide to go without medication to make a point, I think it's a valid tactic. Those of us who do not have this condition cannot know what he's going through, yet we claim authority over decisions that affect the possibility of a cure for his condition. We owe it to him and others like him not to kid ourselves about what the symptoms are like.

Forty seconds long and I still couldn't bring myself to watch the whole thing. That was torture.

oops..

It's *dead, my friend.

Upvoted for the story of James...the rumor of his survival was a folk tale that I grew up on. From Wiki:

Rumors of Jesse James's survival proliferated almost as soon as the newspapers announced his death. Some said that Ford did not kill James but someone else, in an elaborate plot to allow him to escape justice. Some stories say he lived in Guthrie, Oklahoma, as late as 1948, and a man named J. Frank Dalton, who claimed to be Jesse James, died in Granbury, Texas, in 1951 at age 103. Some stories claim the real recipient of Ford's bullet was a man named Charles Bigelow, reported to have been living with James's wife at the time. Generally speaking, however, these tales received little credence, then or now; Jesse's wife, Zee, died alone and in poverty.

The body buried in Missouri as Jesse James was exhumed in 1995 and, according to a report by Anne C. Stone, Ph.D.; James E. Starrs, L.L.M.; and Mark Stoneking, Ph.D. titled Mitochondrial DNA Analysis of the Presumptive Remains of Jesse James, does appear to be the remains of Jesse James. A court order was granted in 2000 to exhume and test Dalton's body, but the wrong body was exhumed. Some people believed that Jesse James hid in the attic of a two story house in Dublin, Texas while he was hiding from the law.

Nope, Ted just said "ride it" and "suck it". He's an idiot redneck, but he's probably safe.

Not sure if you know, our BillOreilly is just playing a part. I'd hate for anyone to actually associate him with the real Mccoy.

Hope I didn't ruin your fun, Bill.

That's funny, if you google "Carly Mann" you get a page full of track and field stories.

My new most favorite sift ever. Good save, Eric.

Oh good! I hoped this would get published!

Edit #3: O! I found a DVD! If anyone feels like getting me a present...

We are so utterly screwed. Failed by our fellow citizens too busy buying SUVs and Pokemon to see things falling down.

That was Vegas, wasn't it? I hope these guys had their fun in the casinos already, cause they're not getting back in after that little stunt.

Should I include <joke> tags next time? Will that help?

One of my favorite books!
