really sorry about the HUGE mistake of mine. Imagine me saying dirt instead of dust from the ground. And the democrat thing was a joke, thus the teeheehee.

Remember I'm just as free not to believe as you are to believe. And I do respect your belief, I just see it a different way.

I know you are free to believe or not. And I respect our belief too, but I won't sit back and let someone call me (basically) stupid like fissionproducts did.
Religion requires you to supress your intellect.
If religion (and I use that in the loosest of interpretations since I'm not real keen on "religion as an organization" to begin with) requires one to supress their intellect what does atheism or agnosticism require? An expansion or narrowing of your intellect?
Seem like a narrowing of intellect to me.
