Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I hope you all enjoy this. :)

You sure that team won't be in the Special Olympics? :P

It certainly was fantastic. My favorite part, however, wasn't any of the content. Having seen enough of Aron on youtube I was able to hear the whole thing in his voice in my head. :lol: So epic...

Glad to be of service. :lol:

The man's choice of signature is neither here nor there. If you'd like to profess that you're staying on topic, you'd do well to actually stay on topic.

Gladly. I don't have the time this very minute, but when I do I'll summarize it as best I can.

Read Letter to a Christian Nation. Sam Harris gives this subject some attention, and I believe does a very good job.

Lol, where did I say that all evil comes from religion? I'll give you a hint: I didn't. Religion does directly cause evil however, while atheism does not. Most of the things you listed have nothing to do with religious troubles at all, only the Gosateizm and the Cristero War, but those cannot be...
