Its not about "good news" its about bad news which some insanely call "good news".

Which simply proves there is no difference between any of you. You are on equal footing, despite wanting to claim superiority of enlightenment for your team.

Team? What team? Please do not put me on any team that promotes, or in any way condones democide...I'm a peaceful man and am appalled at the violence that continues to this day, But I agree that there are few "groups" in the world today that are blameless...

You mean I'm sure just the "team" that does not believe in the Christian god, not the team that doesn't believe in Allah,Thor, Ra, Odin, Osiris, Quetzecoatl, Zues, Apollo, Ahura, etc., since you are on that "team" yourself.

Two teams, Atheists verse Religious. Both have been equal failures throughout history. That's why we have history books. The problem is when in the context of this forum, blanket statements can be made by either side. Simply clarify it in the future. Does that answer your question ???

Unfortunately as time goes on, I even find it necessary to distance myself from some of these rediculous threads, since I can equally be catagorized as part of the Kool-Aid crowd. But having spent some wonderful moments here and reflecting on the contents of the various sides, I have come to the conclusion that Kool-Aid has multiple flavours and no one has the market cornered or the patent for it !!!
