Unfortunately, though, I believe that the majority of people do. So, while I am glad that this wasn't made into a legal issue, and I wish that what David said was more like Matt's response, I am glad that at least some statement was made. Hopefully, some people may begin to question their irrational beliefs because of it, or at least understand how it can be seen a violation of the rights that we all share.MAtheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489281535410681576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-54804606295335179732011-06-24T16:32:48.726-05:002011-06-24T16:32:48.726-05:00http://pandasthumb.org/archives/2011/06/help-talko...http://pandasthumb.org/archives/2011/06/help-talkorigin.html<br /><br />Here's a link about helping TalkOrigins bid for the rights to "Expelled." The auction is on Tuesday, June 28th.<br /><br />"Today, the TalkOrigins Archive Foundation approved a resolution to use our funds on hand to put in a bid on “Expelled”. We hope to make many of the materials freely available and to collaborate with other groups seeking to produce rebuttals to claims made in “Expelled”. To that end, we would like your help. Our final bid amount will be determined by funds on hand and what has come in via our PayPal donation button by Monday, June 27th. This is because there are delays in transfers between PayPal and the bank, and (hopefully!) we’ll need to pay out of our bank account."<br /><br />There is a link to their paypal account in the link above.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05731546575009127016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-85484416045655921832011-06-24T13:01:49.724-05:002011-06-24T13:01:49.724-05:00There is so much out there that it is impossible t...There is so much out there that it is impossible to get it all right all the time.

The comparison to "IGWT" on US currency makes me think that using the term "heaven" is the wrong thing to do. While a lot of Atheists are not ok with the "IGWT" its deemed a trivial battle now- the time to have opposed it was when the idea first came about. So similarly, I think I oppose the "heaven" idea because we may regret it more later. A poll!
