I'm wondering what exactly would make the perfect first blog post. No idea. So I'm just going to start with my first thought.
Religion is never too far from my mind. I've only been out of the fog that is the church for about two years now. Wait, I take that back. I was never in the fog, all my life I had watched the fog from afar as my loved ones walked into it and disappeared, all the while being told I should hold my breath, enter, and be "born again". Mentally, I was a sinner. Now I know, the religious fog stinks. Devout church-goers must have God-given peppermint sap under their nostrils.
Evolution, religion and cough syrup don't mix. They can't. How can Christians, and most all people of organized religion, deny all proven science, including archeological dates and evolution of mankind - when it is the same science that God's people adhere to when they fetch a bonus-sized bottle of Tylenol PM for a midnight headache - or why men of God whom have certain dysfunctions stock up on Cialis prescriptions from their doctors every three months? This is the same science.
How can we indulge in one side but play make believe with the other?
Where I'm from (Britain) more christians belive in evoloution than not.
So glad you joined the world of blogging! I've added you to my blogroll (hope you don't mindl..lol)
Perfect first post...looking forward to reading more :)

Welcome to blogville!!
Go! we're all here with you.Good wishes.....
'Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it will fade away as we adopt reason and science as our guidelines.'
-Bertrand Russell
You might really enjoy reading some Neitszche.... Thus Spake Zarathustra has plenty on the 'death worshippers' of religion. Organized religion is about power and control.
Beyond that, conceptions of 'god' just don't hold water when passed under the scope of logic and reason.
Here is my favorite trap for theists.... 'what can you tell me about god, is he perfect?'... 97% step right into the trap.... which you then proceed to dismantle them. If god is perfect, and god is the creator, then everything god creates must be perfect.... and if god creates perfect things, then why are you not perfect? Does god have a plan.... if he does, then everything is predetermined, and you have no free will... which is a little discomforting.
here's another for you.... do a quick search and read on: The Cadaver Synod Trials..... that one will work splendidly for destroying Catholics... the infallibility of the pope goes right out the window.
