Mr. Bedford.

Speaking as an atheist myself, I am truley disgusted with your approach to

the matter.

For starters, note how I do not capitalize atheist.

Your page at

http://www.atheists.net/pages/Not_GC_Linking_Frames_f1.html is a travesty of

intelligent thought, and is offensive to anyone who belives in freedom of

thought.

I can see that you are not trying to spread hate ("this is love

literature"), but your methods are simply inane.  You assume that you are

correct, you even style yourself the Atheist Messiah.  In capitals.

A wise man once said that Atheisim is simply the converse of Godism.

Instead of a powerful belief in something, the atheist has a powerful denial

of something.  Atheism is a valid religion.  You sir, have just shot

yourself in the foot with a .45 and then placed it firmly in your mouth.

Personally, I advise a little world called Tolerance.  Even if every

religion known to man is false, what harm does it do?  Answer?  None.  Lots

of people can't sleep in on sundays.  Besides, we'll be laughing all the way

to the bank if we're right, hey?

Finally, I would remind you of Blaise Pascal's work on probability and

religion.  It's a fairly famous theory, the details of which I leave as an

exercise to the student.

Enjoying life & not worrying about other people's thoughts,

T. K****
