People often place a great reliance on sources to "prove" their views. To do that is to misunderstand sources - and to completely neglect what I can only call common sense.

For example, today I heard, once again,  the speech by Roosevelt in  response to the Japanese surprise attack Dec 7, 1941. Ot cpnjured up all that was implied this "day of infamy" - good guys, bad guys, good, evil - with all the hints of racism, of Japanese natural cruely and deception (slanty eyes) and American purity.

That's a source. And surely a respectable one.

I thought I'd test the waters of this site and see how many atheists actually frequant these hallowed halls. If you are an atheist, please post. Explain why you are a non-believer, explain how, explain when, do anything you want. The point is to show all these unbearably superstitious people that we do indeed have a presence on this site.

I'd like to communicate further that it is not just the claims of religion which I do not accept, but all supernatural claims.  Richard Dawkins has made a two-part film called "The Enemies of Reason" which can be viewed on-line.  Here's part one:

(Part two should be listed there somewhere).
