If enough people want it, sure you can do it. But I'll have to agree with Gus. I'm here mostly for the atheism stuff. I don't mind a few tech posts, but a series on Linux? Not interested.

Deterministic religious people drive me just as crazy as deterministic rationalists… like B. F. Skinner… the behaviorist psychologist.

Why can't people just admit that we make our own path with some pre-dispositions? Recently, I was very stressed out about school and my mother (who is a "born-again Christian" …God help her! Haha!) told me, "put it in God's hands and it will be taken care of". I told her that I have to work hard to do what I've been doing in college, and the encouragement of my girlfriend, friends, and family helps to sooth me in rough times.

The best part is… I can be considered (but HATE the label) to be a Christian. I prefer the term Christ Follower. And although many parts of my life are kept secular, I am still very "religious", but it is more a philosophy than a tradition for me…

Thank you for reading. I actually was very hesitant to write this story, as you can see it;s very personal. But I've seen so many theists praise God for saving them and insult atheists for having no hope, that I eventually decided to write it. I glossed over a lot of the more personal bits, but I think the message is very clear.

Thanks for the story, miss Jackie. I've always been a bit bitter about theists when they portrait atheists as in a void "descartian" world with no one to answer to them. Once saw a funny game about it, where you had a character in a small slab and the background totally black. You could go up, down, left and right. You could hit "help", and had your character utter something like "Please help me", and no one would answer. If you went to the end of the slab you would fall and the game would be over. There is no "replay" button because, in the atheists' world, there's no life after death. Quite funny in itself, but unfortunately it's the idiotic idea that theists have about atheists.

They truly believe that all the notions about community, morality, love, compassion, etc., are fundamentally christian values. If one is atheist, then one is either left with nothing, or uses every of above without conceding their "true" supernatural source, how arrogant of us!
