Hi Fred - Your mail address bounces the photos I send... The world has become, as he points out, divided between "good" and "evil" Arrgh! That's not what he says, Fred <g> He is saying Americans are seeing it that way because of their binary/religious thinking... I have decided to be more vocal in my criticisms of religion and my own atheism Great. I will carry the flag by your side, although I started out life as an atheist and converted to agnosticism when I was old enough to figure out that there is no proof that God does NOT exist, either.

Hi, Fred! I think that choosing Atheism doesn’t really offer an escape from the dilemma of religion. Believing in God is an act of faith – but, so is NOT believing. Often enough the difference between the two is… shall we say, nominal (-g). Religions tend to offer more, because they are usually… better thought through. Religions reflect traditions, while Atheism, especially in its militant incarnations, drifts towards nihilism, and often enough doesn't have very much to say, except for declaring its credo...
