When I last left this discussion, I promised to come back and explain exactly how it was, that I came to know there is no God. And after a week of allowing myself to be distracted by worldly events, and a couple of personal issues, I am sitting at the keyboard – resolved to…
“As the twig is bent, so the tree inclines.” – Virgil This piece is not particularly intended for those who grew up in a secular environment. Who were never dragged-off to Church services as a child. Or otherwise immersed in one of the Catholic, Protestant – or even Mormon – world views. Or otherwise…
VIDEO: The Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science.
