		<description>Bill Maher, in a recent interview on The Daily Show, said he &quot;doesn&#039;t like the certainty of atheism&quot;. I was pretty upset by this - you don&#039;t have to be certain of anything to be an atheist! Any reasonable atheist would say that they would be willing to begin believing if there was sufficient evidence to warrant belief.

I found it really upsetting that Maher, who has a movie critical of religion coming out soon, contributed to the misunderstanding about what atheism is.</description>

		<description>Truth Justice,

Couple of things.

First, I&#039;m not a teacher. I have never purported to be a teacher, nor do I want to be a teacher. I have no idea where you got that from.

Second, I thought it was funny given this administration&#039;s problem with FEMA and hurricanes, especially in light of Bush&#039;s comment to then FEMA director Mike Brown (&quot;You&#039;re doing a heckuva job, Brownie&quot;).

Third, I&#039;m about as white as it gets, so...yeah.

Cheers,
varkam</description>
