Tracy, As you may, or may not have noticed, I am reluctant to accept the label "atheist" as I indicated in post #165. I prefer to align myself with Sam Harris in that regard. If you are not familiar with Sam Harris; please take time to watch some of his talks on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=630y_aBIuc0 is a good one to start with.
He makes the point very well that since we do not have a label for those that don't believe in astrology, Elvis is still alive, or the Earth is flat; then why should we be labeled. We aren't the ones that are making claims on silly, unsubstantiated notions. It is the
theists who should be the ones to bear a label, not us. We are the ones who are being rational.
Please watch Sam and join with the rest of us who don't believe we should be labeled so.
