interesting site. i can't help but take amusement at athiests and religious
folk - two extremist factions who, despite ample evidence, refuse to realize
how intricately similar they are. it's actually quite ridiculous.

as for your site, well lets see ... your whole dictation follows uncannily
identical patterns to preaching, you outline a rigid set of beleifs, you
enforce those beleifs with faith, you pledge trust and allegiance to icons
(Darwin?) who have conveniently supplied a whole framework of dogma for the
masses of obedient 'free-thinkers' - hah!

preaching. beleifs. faith. icons. dogma. my friend, what you have here is an
anti-religion religion. you gotta find that at least a little funny.

by no means do i claim to have the answers, but i do know with unwavering
certainty that neither you or your religious cousins have them.

though this message may seem a little hostile, please don't take it as that.
i find this topic very interesting, and i'd like to encourage you to respond
with your thoughts or rebutals (and if you behave in the predictable manner
of the priesthood, you will have many)
