I see evidence for evolution all over the place. Or at least. (And this is the clincher) I observe what is explained by no alternative theory.

I also observe genuine well meaning people praying at the bedside in a children's hospice yet the goodbye room (not heated) is in use most days.

Such perspective allows you to draw your own conclusions over the power of reality over the delusion of superstition. Ironically the delusion that lets people down is the same one that then gives them comfort and strength.

Looks like Shimrod is wrong. Christians can indeed have it both ways...

I finally got around to watching the sad but compelling Stephen Fry two part series on being gay last night. The common link in persecution seems to be hiding homophobia in a cloak of religion.   Uganda had a pastor who said rape of a woman was better than consenting sex between two men in the eye of God. A government minister is still trying to get parliament to legislate the death sentence for being gay and has outlawed medical charities combating HIV in the (large) gay community. Presumably including the lesbian who was corrective raped at 14 to cure her of her budding sexuality. That she fell pregnant and was HIV+ from the ordeal being here nor there. Oh, the minister is an ex Catholic priest. ...   In Iran they are hanging people for being gay. God wants it apparently. In California a church group is charging parents thousands of dollars to cure your teenage offspring of the sin. Usually ending up with deep phycosis and lifelong mental health issues.

So... remind me.   How awful are these militant atheists this and other threads warn us about? Bigotry devalues humanity and I for one don't want to be associated with turning the clock back on human social evolution.
