"Flirtatious, saucy and never less than impeccably dressed, Downey is an atheist, feminist, anti racist, author, publisher, writer and all-around super-righteous wonder woman. Visit any culture-war battlefield, and you'll find her on the right side of the barricades, glammed up to the nines, taking chauvinist names and kicking bigot ass." - Philadelphia Weekly

TUNE IN FRIDAY NIGHTS AT 9PM EST HERE:
Brian Sapient and Rook Hawkins have been responding to irrational claims and emergencies globally since 1999. Brian Sapient specializes in debating Religion from all angles, while Rook can pick apart the bible better than those who actually believe in it. Longtime allies of the Infidel Guy and Jake from the Atheist Network, Sapient and Rook have conceived a squad that will help respond rationally to irrational claims around the globe. One of their first moves was aquiring the help of noted Scientist from the Infidel Guy message boards, Yellow_Number_Five (Mike). Mike is our newest member and is a specialist in all things scientific. He's a chemical engineer, microbiologist, and evolutionary geek.
We've recently added Kelly M to our ranks as a core member of the Rational Response Squad. Kelly is a psychology major with a minor in philosophy.
Look for the show "Rational Response Squad" on Freethoughtmedia.com and Atheistnetwork.com internet radio streams broadcast globally. A new show is released on Friday nights at 9pm est while show hosts and friends gather in the chat room at the Rational Responders site. Come join the party with us and BYOB.

By Madalyn Murray-O'Hair in the early 60's: "...An Atheist loves himself and his fellow man instead of god. An Atheist knows that heaven is something for which we should work now --here on earth-- for all men together to enjoy. An Atheist thinks that he can get no help through prayer but that he must find in himself the inner conviction and strength to meet life, to grapple with it, to subdue it and enjoy it. An Atheist thinks that only in a knowledge of himself and a knowledge of his fellow man can he find the understanding that will help to a life of fulfillment. Therefore, he seeks to know himself and his fellow man rather than to know a god. An Atheist knows that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An Atheist knows that a deed must be done instead of a prayer said. An Atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanquished, war eliminated. He wants man to understand and love man. He wants an ethical way of life. He knows that we cannot rely on a god nor channel action into prayer nor hope for an end of troubles in a hereafter. He knows that we are our brothers' keepers and keepers of our own lives; that we are responsible persons, that the job is here and the time is now."
hay guys jest thought I'd let you know techdirt is covering the story about the recent BS involving CSE heres the url: http://techdirt.com/articles/20070916/223446.shtml

"It ain't the parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand."..."Religion consists in a set of things which the average man thinks he believes and wishes he was certain of."..."In God We Trust, I don't believe it would sound any better if it were true"..."The Bible is a mass of fables and traditions, mere mythology."..."Our Bible reveals to us the character of our god with minute and remorseless exactness. It is perhaps the most damnatory biography that exists in print anywhere. It makes Nero an angel of light and leading by contrast"..."There is no other life, life itself is only a vision and a dream for nothing exists but space and you"..."If there was an all-powerful God, he would have made all good, and no bad."..."Faith is believing in something you know ain’t true"..."I never told the truth in my life, that someone didn’t say I was lying. And I never told a Lie, that somebody didn’t take as a Fact"..."You can’t go beyond possibility"..."First God Made Idiots"..."It’s not that the world is full of fools, it’s just that lighting isn’t distributed right"..."Truth is the most valuable thing we have, let us economize it"..."The best cure for Christianity is reading the Bible."..."I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and politics a man's reasoning powers are not above the monkey's"..."Always do right, this will gratify some, and astonish the rest."..."Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day, Give him a religion, and he'll starve to death while praying for a fish"..."If there is a God, he is a malign thug."..."The Bible has noble poetry in it, and some good morals and a wealth of obscenity, and upwards of a thousand lies"- Mark Twain
HEY! Listen up! This is EVERY GOD speaking. That’s right, all of us in one convenient place. To all of you Stupid Fools that still believe in us Gods, STOP IT!! You are being incredibly silly. It is 2007, not the Dark Ages. You look really DUMB!! Shamefully Stupid!! But worse yet, some of you can become very dangerous and murderous in your beliefs. Some of you are "Lunatics", possessed by Religious Insanity. You MURDER innocent people in the name of "ALLAH" because of your DELUSIONS of going to Heaven and getting 72 Virgins to Violate. You're a bunch of Sick Homicidal Sex Crazed Perverts!! It is the expressed desire of all of us Gods, that all of you humans, stop believing in any and all gods, devils, heaven and hell. We will be happy to go away and never bother you again. After all, the Truth is, We don’t really exist. All Gods are a collection of ancient Middle Eastern Myths put into the "Greatest Phony Story Ever Told". We are not REAL, we don't have any children. "Jesus" was a Mentally Disturbed and Delusional Lunatic. No "Virgin Birth" No "Resurrection" No "Heaven" No "Hell" NO "Devil" NO "GODS" Now, Don't you feel better knowing that. "Charles Darwin" was right. Worship him.
Have a Great Day, that we have made.
We are "Every GOD Known To Humanity", and we approve of this comment.
