    Wull....if the USA'ers knew how to build a proper wall they would have gone undefeated in the Copa. When Trump wins in Nov everyone will get their comeuppance. The walls will be the best and finest the Peso will buy and they will be Yuuuuggge! :whistling:

    Magic? And old books with magical stories.

    Then again, it would not surprise me if some atheist believe star wars is real. But then they would be in the Jedi religion.

    Wait, what? As though Christians, Jews, Buddhists or Muslims can't believe Star Wars is real?

    Religion is the conceit of thinking anything we dont know must be magic. If you show me a magician Ill show you an illusionist. Atheists are people who dont measure their actions by fear of divine punishment or promise of divine reward.

    Although, God creating atheists is an interesting stretch.

    Probably been posted, but it's nice to find something that reflects my thoughts on this subject. My heart is with Larry - I'd like to live forever. But my brain is with Neil.

    A nice article on what was possibly the first monotheist religion in the world, it did not last long, so really maybe it is better to call it the first monotheist cult.

    The "nones" may have it.

    No religion (or at least not afiliated with a particular church/temple/mosque) is the fastest growing "religious" category.

    Not only whites.

    But the atheist/agnostic are a small percentage of the nones,

    I believe in avoiding splitting headaches doing the mental gymnastics required to believe in anything supernatural. I'd be miserable and scared any other way.
