"15 Minute Hate"

You know, after 9/11 I think the whole world moved beyond where Orwell ever got to, do you? And was Orwell an atheist or an agnostic? Swirl those questions around awhile. Interested in your opinion.

Anyway if I'm right on that, the United Hate Swirlers Amalgamated Union, Nancy Grace, chief commissarette is about to take it on the virtual anime chin.

I seem to recall Orwell making a statement that "he hoped he was right" about being an atheist; in my book, that makes one an agnostic (greek = 'no knowledge'). REAL Atheists (greek = 'no deity'), from what I have seen on some of my favorite dust ups here on FR, have a faith that would put many of my brothers and sisters in Christ to shame.

I don't know about beyond--but closer, definately closer.
