It is a little embarrassing as a label, isn't it? I know that there's a significant correlation between lower intelligence & theism (& supernaturalism generally), and higher levels of intelligence and atheism, but it's not as if there are no fuck-witted atheists about.

Also, it comes across as a bit arrogant to me. Not as arrogant as those who tell me what God wants (invariably very much like the sort of thing they want too, surprisingly), or that they know better than me, that they're kinder & more charitable than me, and how I could be just like them if I simpy asked Jesus into my heart (where's that vomiting smiley?). But arrogant, just the same.

So yes, it would be good to drop that 'Brights' bollocks.

I enjoyed the short general clips but the street bawls between Thunderfoot and AronRa and the fucktards were too much for me. I appreciate the posts though. :cheers:

Where's zomgitscriss?

I agree about the street brawls, just silly, they should have risen above such shout fests.

The problem with fantasies is you can't really insist that everyone else believes in yours, the other problem with fantasies is that most believers of fantasies eventually get around to doing exactly that.

If it was closer to me I would have gone.
