Subject: RE: BS: Are Atheists really Atheists or......
Don't you all find Argument that there would be no atheists if there were no believers, a little circular?

I see a cartoon group of cave men having marvelous conversations about cosmology and of course their own evolution, "Aunt Gertrude, yeah you can't mind her, she was more from the Chimp side of the family." "Cousin Clara, she is a wild one! Oh my! the bonobo doesn't fall far from the family tree! Does it?" When another cave men wearing purple buffalo robes and a pointy hat made of turtle shells stomps up to the fire and imposes religion on him.

Though Steve is right about one thing, the atheists who define themselves by their attacks on religion, those like himself, would have to find something else to do. Hopefully something more useful.
