Re: Richard Dawkins - Faith School Menace (TV doc starting s
What a pity... I don't think it will be aired here for a good time (if ever)
I have the additional problem that for something to finally come here, it has to be translated to Spanish... :(
And what's worse, even translated, I...
The most annoying probably was
"Sos ateo? pero si eras tan buena persona..." because my creationists speak Spanish, translated it would be "You are an atheist? But you were such a nice person..."

But it would certainly be interesting to see what do they have to say...
Poe's Law basically establishes that is extremely difficult to distinguish between real fundamentalism and a parody of it...
Anyway... If it's for real, I agree with her... That must have been the "stupidest atheist ever"... If somebody tells you "It's in the Bible, dah! And the Bible is the...
It's always difficult to introduce oneself... specially if you are an extremely complex person (I'm not, but it's hard anyway).
I'd like to tell you, then, the series of events that brought me to this place.
I've always been an atheist, I'm part of these rare new generations being brought up in...
