Subject: RE: Does Music Deny Religion to Children?
John Lee Hooker's Black Man Blues kept taunting me last night. Every time I woke, there it was pulsing my brain. Not pulsing in my brain... actually pulsing it.

A few days ago a friend on Facebook commented on my wall
"and tomorrow perhaps you'll wake up in the mornin wid dem blues all roun' your mind."

Well yeah!

I have to agree with Mousethief on the Dawkins thing. I am a recovering baptist with atheist leanings.   I think it is bad form to cram my way of thinking down anyone else's throat. Dawkins' tactics smack of same used by fundamental christians. Also his tactics make atheism look like a belief system rather than an empirically based conclusion. He just stirs it, he is a self publicist. Got to sell the books and interviews and television shows, don't you know.
