Just quickly - Sasquatch, evolution is a scientific theory. The key word is 'theory'. It does not attempt to explain why we are here, but merely speculates about how we came to be here. To claim it is a 'religion' is mental. To me, it is a very elegant theory, and makes a lot of sense. But like you said, we're not here to discuss it, so I'll stop now. Just felt the need to say something.

And a note about athiests who try to shove their views down other people's throats: they are, in a word, hypocrites. They fall into the trap of believing in not believing in anything, which is a pile of shit. They follow pedagogues and ****wits like Richard Dawkins and always assume intellectual superiority. I don't like them.

As for athiesm as a trend, I'm seeing more and more of it these days. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but catch these people in conversation and chances are they won't be able to properly back up why they say they don't believe in a higher power. They are often teenagers and often fools. However, I'll admit that I did grin when I saw those 'There probably isn't a God so stop worrying and get on with your life' posters on the sides of buses. When I found out they were paid for by some kind of athiest group, a concept which defies description, I was perturbed, and the smiling stopped. Athiesm is and always will be an individual thing. Organising it just doesn't make sense. Plus, we'll end up having wars with giant sea otters if we pursue that path.

But back to religion. I don't really have anything to say about it except that I detest the 'God on our side' wars and I don't like evangelicals, no matter how well-meaning, and I ask that any kind of extremist steer well clear of me. So I'll let y'all get back to it now.
