those few quotes should give you a clue on my position on the "atheism vs theism/creationism/id" issue and that through a constant process of evolution, my mind has been opened up to atheism as the smarter and more grounded theory ...

being an atheist means i'm:
- against organized religion or any religion that has evolved beyond simple spiritualism
- against men-over-women domination
- against faith-based moral codes and rules which violate reason & logic
- against anti-abortion people
- against fearmongering on behalf of everyones "immortal soul"
- against bullshitstories being taught in school

... the only church that enlightens is the one that's on fire
