Thank You Dan Barker.

It was interesting to hear from the man himself that it is possible to think god is speaking to you. I wouldn't have taken the information seriously had I read it somewhere, I used to think everybody is faking it. A life experience like his is important in understanding religiousness.

Even people that want to believe are laughing at this just like they laughed at the commandments of driving or the review of the state of limbo.

Let them produce more of this communiques so believers understand what they're following.

Mary Midgley read TSG expecting to find information related to her interests and she understood something related to her expectations which she didn't like.

I'm glad you brought up Eckhart Tolle.

After reading TGD I understood there is nothing wrong with atheism. After reading Eckhart Tolle I understood that their is better help than organized religion.

My 2 cents ...

This is the Pew Forum Survey:

Interesting that only 1.6% of the unaffiliated declare themselves atheist.

7. God vs. Gridiron

Super Bowl is right.

The reason for the broadcast of the game is the advertising that is meant to influence the viewers which are not influenced if another message is promoted during the game.

I'm sure the church understands the issue but it's hard for them to miss the opportunity. If the law is bent to allow the church to promote their message then other organizations should be allowed to promote their positive message, for example charities. But then Super Bowl would have to police the positiveness of the messages, :).
