Atheism is a very narrow platform. About as narrow as 

a-mermaide-ism, a-unicorn-ism and the view that Elvis Presley

is not alive. It is not a philospophy for living. Atheism has no

more (or less) to do with charity than the view that the moon is

not made of cheese. 



Rational thinking is its own reward. Consider your standard of

living to that of any non homo-sapien you know. Would you

want to switch places?

Brett
