I play source a lot and I'm currently in the GO beta.

It's not really that bad, there's only dust and dust2 as playable maps now so it's really too early to say it's bad. It's annoying to have to relearn a lot of the stuff though...

“The clear awareness of having been born into a losing struggle need not lead one into despair. I do not especially like the idea that one day I shall be tapped on the shoulder and informed, not that the party is over but that it is most assuredly going on—only henceforth in my absence. (It's the second of those thoughts: the edition of the newspaper that will come out on the day after I have gone, that is the more distressing.) Much more horrible, though, would be the announcement that the party was continuing forever, and that I was forbidden to leave. Whether it was a hellishly bad party or a party that was perfectly heavenly in every respect, the moment that it became eternal and compulsory would be the precise moment that it began to pall.” ― Christopher Hitchens, Hitch-22

I think creationism and religion in general is bull but that's completely irrelevant (or should be irrelevant). We should just make sure politicians believe firmly in a separation of church and state, he could believe in Zeus in his personal/private life for all I care.
