RT> I thought we were all god's children?
ac> Where did you get that nonsense from?
Several religious cults make the claim, most of note Christianity. It is
part of the primate behavioral trait which comes under the encyclopedic
entry titled "Alpha Male."
It's pretty freakish but then we're talking about religion, after all.
RT> Similarly I think it funny that you try to infer that a lack of belief

ac> If you believe there is no God, then you hold an affirming

Except that atheism is the lack of belief in all of the gods and goddesses
humanity has created for themselves. Everyone is born an atheist and, as
you know, everyone is an atheist after they're dead.
RT> What am I supposed to be waiting to see?
ac> You'll see.
Pathetic threats and voodoo curses don't work upon those who don't
believe in them, dear. The only thing that the better educated see is a
lot of gullible and very ignorant, superstitions people clinging to the
absurd fraud their masters perpetuate out of greed.
