[benlehman]

Attention atheists who say "atheists don't do horrible things in the name of their religion."

Please go read a book about the cultural revolution.

Dawkins actually has a scale for this, where one pole (which he does not count himself in) is "absolutely sure there is no god." He puts himself in the "Does not believe there is a god, and lives his life as though there was not one." That's a position most scientists who are atheists would take, I believe.

And, for the record, the slot I'm in.

Fair enough.

I just beleive that there's enough order to the universe that acting as if there's a driving force behind it is practially useful.

I also think that the word God (or Buddha) can be defined as "The part of you that wants you to be a happy, moral person" without any loss of signal. But I'm just weird that way.
