Just a brief note to offer my appreciation of finding a dialogue on atheism which is intelligent, rational and entertaining. Too many sites offer up the same fundamentalist attitude more usually associated with religion, in the process belittling and undermining the scientific and intellectual viewpoint of atheists, and no doubt driving us into individual seclusion [...]
Being an atheist means you dont believe in anything, meaning there ARE NO RULES you dumb ass website!

Hmmm.

Sheesh. I can point out a few discrepancies in that correspondence with the ‘Young Girl’. She obviously has no working knowledge of science, and is still trying to bring it in. Albert Einstein never said ‘every action has an equal and/or opposite reaction’. Newton did. And it’s not and/or it is and. Also, opposite reaction [...]
