		<description><![CDATA[Today I got a tweet (via @EveDestiny) from @DanielFlorien:
Ask God, &#8220;What is the distance from the earth to the sun?&#8221; and you get silence.  Google, however, answers instantly.

I loved this one, because it speaks to the apologetic that I used to use when I was of that ilk, where the Earth is &#8220;just the right distance from the Sun,&#8221; and on and on and on, about the planet and life (always read &#8220;as we know it,&#8221; which to the thinking mind is clearly a red herring when it comes to ...]]></description>

&#8220;I think that it is ridiculous to assume a moral code if you do not believe that you will be held accountable to it.&#8221;
So, &#8220;not out of fear of divine reprisal&#8221; is not the point you started off with. However, I may be reading you wrong.  So, I will rebut with this; You say that you would ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was about to tweet the following today:
An uneducated atheist is useless.
Then, I paused.
At first I questioned whether or not it was offensive, and was going to add a &#8220;disclaimer&#8221; to my tweet.  But the more I thought, the more I questioned my original tweet.  &#8220;Really?&#8221; I asked, &#8220;because perhaps one doesn&#8217;t need an education to draw a conclusion on the existence of the supernatural.&#8221;  Which then begs the question, &#8220;do you have to be told that a god exists?&#8221;
Clearly, untold numbers of tribes have evolved beliefs in the supernatural.  ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[October 22, for all you date-watchers, is the expected return of Jesus Christ.  Well, of course, it depends on what your definition of &#8220;is&#8221; is.
In 1844, William Miller (after several other dates he prophesied had come and gone) convinced a large group of people that today was the day of Christ&#8217;s return.  While the cuckoo clock sound is ringing in your head, no doubt, just think of this as the end of a slippery slope, and work your way back.  At what point did it start to sound unreasonable?  Slightly ...]]></description>
