I wanna marry this chick.

Its about time a woman publicly shoved it up Christianity.

[LynxChan]

A fairly large proportion of them were deists, not your average Christian and many were deeply skeptical of organized religion and had nothing but contempt for the theological myths like the creation myth. Look up Jeffersons view of religion. Thomas Paine was an outright atheist.

Even then though, being brilliant in one respect doesn't mean being right in everything. Most of them were deeply racist and many owned slaves. Does that make slavery right?

I have Professor Richard Dawkins to thank for introducing me to this fascinating woman. I have just watched him in debate with the obnoxious and very aggressive Australian cardinal George Pell and he (Dawkins) mentioned Julia with great affection.

I think you atheists do it enough already.

I was raised Irish Catholic & forced to be an altar boy thankfully I wasn`t abused by any of the parish priests. If you haven`t seen the movie Religulous I would have to say it has cured a lot of fence sitters. Agnostic until proen otherwise

@Sconz32 Agreed.

I think it'd be cool if you could hire someone like her to come to your house when you're feeling depressed and cheer you up for an hour or so, but then kinda just go.

Actually, after I watched the entire series I gained a lot of respect for her and her journey. She's obviously intelligent and inquisitive.

[RandomVortex]

She's obviously a lovely person who thankfully now has a good grasp on reality but her ultra bubbly nature would also grind my gears somewhat.

She reminds me of one of my chipy aunts so I cant be too harsh.
