"I don't believe that anyone is qualified to determine that there is or isn't some magical being in the sky"
Are you serious? You don't think people are qualified to say there ISN'T a magical being in the sky?
What about dragons, unicorns, faeries, orcs, dwarves or elves? Am I qualified to say they don't exist? They are FANTASY. We all *know* that. Gods are, and always have been literary works of fiction. They are myth. Zeus, Ra, Pan, Osiris, and a list 10,000 long ... any doubt that Zeus was made up? Why do the current gods get a pass, when there's no more evidence for their existence than Zeus?
The reason atheists are speaking up, is because we're sick of seeing our society being dominated by Christian doctrine. If only the Christians are active, then you'll have a theocracy on your hands. Look at the middle east. No one can speak up against Islam, and so Islam runs the state, and women have to walk around in burkas.
I'm proud of my right to free speech, and I intend to use it."
I didn't write that by the way.
Just wondering what someone would say in their defense..
