Sometimes it's hard to tell if you are mispelling things or if you know fancy words that I don't (which is fine).<br /><br />Oh, and I agree. I'd like to see more atheists publicly denounce other atheists' bad behavior. Can't say that it's pretty though. hehe At least it isn't when I do it. <br /><br />BenBenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479224236264150172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11516215.post-59513665862548290662010-05-23T07:46:45.509-07:002010-05-23T07:46:45.509-07:00go look on CARM on the "Other" board rig...go look on CARM on the "Other" board right now: "why is Christianity so evil?" where are you?
