Every time I read an answer on here from an athiest, it always has this resonance of hatred or disdain behind it. It seems that athiests always have an agenda and that agenda always seems to be some form of depressing people or, as you call it, "bringing them to rational thought rather than an irrational belief in a supreme being." Here is my question: Why is it that athiests, who have no hope or reason for their unbelief (other than irrational ideas about a "god"), still feel the need to bring other people alongside them? Why is it that in an idea that has no hope behind it whatsoever (and is only based in "reality") is promoted just because the alternative is illogical? Why can't I EVER get a decent explanation for athiesm (even in a book), other than "God doesn't exist. It's just a fact. The Bible is full of lies, thousands-of-years-old lies"? The sad thing is, I already know the responses and "answers" I'll get to my "questions."

Would other beach-goers, surfers, swimmers, saltwater alligators, sea cucumbers and other living things in the sea all around the world be electrocuted too or would it just affect a small area.

If so, how do you determine this area?

I cannot now recall whether it was the front or rear plate that was missing. No-one seemed able to give a sensible answer.

I received the following from a friend. Does anyone have evidence this is fabrication?

Nancy Pelosi:

"We democrats are going to address this issue after the election when we take control of the congress. We will return to the 60% to 80% tax rates on the rich and we will be able to take at least 30% of all current lower income tax-payers off the rolls and increase government income substantially. We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest."

"We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long ways to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as 'Americans'."

Should we start with Congress's high salaries, bennies, and investments?

There is this middle-aged man who goes to my church. He is extremely smart, is in good shape (physically) and he's very personable as well.
He has a deep, sultry voice, he dresses nicely and has great eyes.
He also has a comb-over.
With all of these attributes and qualities, I am just wondering how many of us would look past that and consider him to be "dating" material.
(And if middle age is too old for you, just pretend he's w/in three years of you for answering purposes). lol.
Ladies, would you date him?

a.) effectively illuminated
b.) effectively illuminated by both the second and third light
c.) effectively illuminated by the third or fourth light.
Please show all workings.
