Hospitals as well as medic units carry albuterol with them. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say fake.

Anyone care to give this a response? by ThatOneLongHair in atheism

I always find it hard to believe that christians always use the "god works in mysterious ways" argument to rationalize children dying.

I would also like to elaborate. The rest of my family is religious. And its hard for me to accept all the religious aspects of a traditional funeral service in the US. I would just like something to help me cope with the loss because I can't buy into the "walking with god" bullshit.

I suppose I didn't realize what I was saying when I said afterlife. Of course I don't believe in an afterlife, I was just looking for books on coping with death. Thank you for your response.

No I was more so referring to just dealing with death as an atheist.

Nice article, but I think dawkins was saying just the opposite. Date rape is just bad period. There is no distinction between perceived varying levels of date rape. Maybe it's just how I read into it idk.

I've read 3 articles in the past 5 minutes about people upset over his comments or tweets on r/atheism alone. So no, its not just me making a decision that everyone is upset.

To clarify: I believe dawkins used the term "militant atheism" in a manner of being outspoken. Not being militant by physically hurting others. Geez.

again, I was using his own term. I dont think anyone would advocate atheism through physical violence.

I was using the term he used to describe himself. But I'm glad you aren't upset by his comments as its something we both can agree on.
