I know the title is contradictory, but eye-catching, don't you think? I really am quite grateful that I am an atheist, and I thank higher education for the gift of it. When I was young, my very religious family discouraged higher education, telling me, "Universities are dens of atheism; they'll turn you atheist, for sure!"

And that is exactly what happened.

No, this wasn't part of some insidious plan to indoctrinate against religion, it simply was because at university I learned to think with reason and to not blindly accept the superstitions of others. I state emphatically that a person's level of education is directly related to a person's measure of religious faith. Those with little education cherish the validation religion provides. This is, at least, my opinion, and it's a good opinion.

I welcome others to chime in with their opinions, of course.

Since I'm certain the Christians won't appreciate my fine wording, I'll congratulate myself: Jack is one clever boy!

I noticed that my girlfriend wants to learn Italian one day. So would it be smart to buy her something in italian like a dictionary, vocab book, or audio cd? or is too much?
or would it be stupid and weird? I figured that it would make her happy because at least I think of her.

when I first saw her I chocked and began to love her , I didn't expect that I may love her but it's slowly get into my heart.
I hide my feeling some time and suddenly decided to tell her my feelings toward her ,until this moment she was nice with me and I truly feel that she is comfortable when she was with me
but the disaster when I told her that I love her very much and want to meet her outside and I am very honest with her.
her first reaction was very helpful she laughed and at that moment I was able to see a true love in her eyes ..but ..
when I tried to approach her she chocked suddenly and tell me sorry I can't .. I don't have chemistry towards you
and this happened many times when I tried to say something she run away and after that when I said ok it's your live I'm sorry for this , then she look at me with that kind look and I could read from her body language that she say please don't go.
what I have to do ? note the problem is little more complex but what's the chemistry

Review it, push a pencil on your own situation, and support it if you can see the advantages. If I got the employers share of Social Security and Medicare added to my paycheck I would get about a 7% immediate raise in take home pay with at least an $800 rebate.above the 23% sales tax.

I think the one thing I would have changed was making sure there was music at mine. We got married out in a natural setting, but I wish we had at least had a portable stereo for the music. Also our video camera really didn`t pick up the sound all that well (my brother`s wedding too). I probably would have had a microphone attached to the camera audio or at least had the camera closer to the minister.

My hamster has had a boil on his left eyelid for quite some time, about 6 months, but nothing happened so i didnt think much. But overnight another boil popped up on his other eyelid, this time on the inside of the eyelid, so he cant close his eye properly and its a little watery. It sort of looks like a pink, round thing... is it a tumor? Anything i can do for it besides take it to a vet because i dont live anywhere near one? My hamster is 3 years old. Suggestions please?

this girl on yahoo answers asked whats the best way for a black girl to grow her hair this user (wisconsindeathtrip03) replied with what i think was the upmost rude comment
"A wig, hairpiece, weave etc. I've never seen a black chic grow long straight hair. It's greasy looking, and smelly. All the chics you see on television have weaves. " theese are his exact words you can go to my profile and see i emailed him furious because as you can tell by ny avatar i am african american and i think no race is seperior to another we were all made by the same creator if he would have belittled an asian or any other race even his I wouldve said something he also had the nerve to tell me in my e-mail he could tell i was black because i didnt know how to write so he was trying to say african americans are uneducated.

....but those same screamers never bat an eyelash at handing over of billions of tax dollars to Big Business even when those businesses are posting record profits?

WHY? Why do they hate people who are stumbling in life so very, very much? Yet continue to give Free Passes to Corporate Vampires who are sucking the life out of what USED to be "capitalism?"
