Atheism doesn't rule out the possibility of life after death, it simply is a statement that we would like some kind of evidence before shaping our lives around the idea.
But beyond that, ceremonies and monuments have always been for the living, not the dead. Atheists are just more likely to get that concept than somebody who is afraid the man in the sky is constantly judging them, along with all their dead relatives.
& She wasn't "lying", she believed what she said. Most republicans actually think Bush's presidency started when 9/11 happened. They're not far off. He didn't actually do anything before that aside from take vacations.
I don't understand why people are amused by videos of children hurting themselves. It makes me ache inside to see how close they come to serious life-threatening damage. Adults who do dumb things are occasionally funny, especially when the result is unexpected. But when the title of the video gives away everything it contains, where is the humor? And I expect the fact that it's a kid makes this funnier to some than if it was an adult.
I'm not trying to judge, I just don't get it. Why am I different from those who laugh?
These are sad, sad people. You can have a political agenda similar to Nazism, but once you actually start identifying as Nazis, the single most hated group (and accepted by mainstream society as hated), then you are demonstrating a real cry for help. They need therapy. Lots and lots of therapy.
Yes, please end this puritanical nightmare we are in. Even though I don't think I would ever use a prostitute's services, it's horrid to think of the conditions these poor women suffer simply because their trade is illegal.
I think it's quite simple. When making something illegal does more harm than good, put it back the way it was and try something else!
Prostitution and the drug trade would not be entangled with serious crime if they weren't illegal.
There's no way voting republicans will select her as the candidate against Obama. She'll be out of the race by the time she announces she's in. She's a figurehead for the moment, but everybody knows she brought down the McCain campaign, and you'll see republicans start to come up with odd reasons to vote against her. They will never mention her lack of intellect or political knowledge, it will be strange things. Then she will bow out, saying that she needs to focus on her family and her "other projects".
Hopefully at that time she will disappear forever.
