Often the delete key is my friend. A thousand word post has disappeared. I was going to post a response to someone else’s post, and use this video of Douglas Adams as an example of positive atheism. I’m tired of yet another post from someone who says “I’m an atheist, but you mustn’t talk about

I’ve been reminded that I should link to this paper from Spring 2006 today. I’ve no idea what this author had been drinking, but it must have been pretty tasty, because the author clearly drunk a lot of it. Neanderthals explained with the aid of Tom Cruise. Some people are simply beyond help.
