Certainly. I'm yet to read Sam Harris' "The End of Faith", I'll try to get it. Richard Dawkins is just admirable!

Yes, Those two humans are true and living Gods.
May God which is something that has not been shown to
actually exist bless them both.
An excerpt and a review:
The End of Faith by Sam Harris.
The End of Faith provides a harrowing glimpse of mankind’s willingness to suspend reason in favor of religious beliefs, even when these beliefs inspire the worst of human atrocities. Harris argues that in the presence of weapons of mass destruction, we can no longer expect to survive our religious differences indefinitely. Most controversially, he maintains that “moderation” in religion poses considerable dangers of its own: as the accommodation we have made to religious faith in our society now blinds us to the role that faith plays in perpetuating human conflict. While warning against the encroachment of organized religion into world politics, Harris draws on insights from neuroscience, philosophy, and Eastern mysticism in an attempt to provide a truly modern foundation for our ethics and our search for spiritual experience.
”The End of Faith articulates the dangers and absurdities of organized religion so fiercely and so fearlessly that I felt relieved as I read it, vindicated, almost personally understood… Harris writes what a sizable number of us think, but few are willing to say in contemporary America… This is an important book, on a topic that, for all its inherent difficulty and divisiveness, should not be shielded from the crucible of human reason.”
— Natalie Angier, The New York Times Book Review

So your still cloning me? Not bored yet? So now you are a Saudi girl married to a Scottish man?
Not a Pakistani girl who hates Islam and constantly clones others and has had several accounts?
The only thing is I am the Scottish one not my husband, I'm not Saudi and my Algerian husband has no idea how to play the bag pipes. If your going to clone me at least be a little accurate about it. Sloppy, sloppy.
Himalaya girl, ex Muslim cowgirl, Azra clone, terry g clone...etc etc.
Get a life and an original ID of your own would be refreshing.

sure great thought considering that Voltaire predicted that in 100 years Christianity would be wiped off the face of the earth. by the way his house is now being used as an international bible outlet.
