Every Jew a 22, stay alive with a 45.
Ah, you’ve seen the good side of the steel-and-brass pill.
So i was wondering what Dawkins meant in his famous quote…god of the old testament is arguably the most unpleasant charcter in all fiction…sadomasochistic capriciously malevolent bully…
I’ve never understood that Dawkins quote either. The G…[Read more]

Yes, I agree. The motto of Atheist Ireland is “You have Rights, your beliefs do not”. The problem happens in places where political parties have a theocratic foundation.
