[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh I got a good one...should atheist parents be allowed to receive welfare?
I mean isn't their lack of faith and failure to impart religious values onto their children irresponsible?[/quote]

Irresponsible?  Hell no.  It's responsible.  They are teaching their kids self-reliance, self-determination and responsibility rather than pumping their heads full of false hope, fairy tales about big invisible people in the sky, and a belief in the paranormal versus a belief in science.  Religion is not the basis or ultimate authority for morality and values.[/quote]

(Psst...Not the PP, but this was sarcasm. As a fellow atheist, let me say that you're helping us look like the humorless ranters that the believers claim we are. ;-)  )[/quote]

If it was supposed to be sarcasm then a. ) I'd suggest PP work on their humor skills a bit more and b.) if it was trying to be directed at a supposed conservative vs. liberal divide then I'd say it was miscalculated.[/quote]
