harvey danger (dangerfield was the comedian) is still around, they just put out a new album last year which actually doesn't suck. i saw them in madison last year when they were starting their tour with a band called So Many Dynamos, who i'm pretty fond of. honestly, i'd forgotten about them too until that point.

and in case you were wondering... i wandered my way here from the boards because your profile pic is cute and i'm a creep like that.

Nothing wrong with being an Atheist - just means you have "grown-up" and are trying to see the world as it truly is and not as you want it to be. Some people see great comfort in the idea of a God watching over us, or guardian angels - just like children see great comfort and joy in Santa Claus, the easter bunny and the tooth fairy. (I prefer Halloween Town and Jack Skellington myself - but thats another issue)

Not believing in a particular religion without evidence (or in the case of the organized religions - in the face of contradictory evidence) isn't a vice - in fact it means your willing to accept the world/universe in its true form - not impose one on it.

When people ask you how you can be an atheist you can tell them its easy - they are an atheist in respect to every other religion - you just take it one further.

I think not having total faith i an afterlife is also incredibly rewarding - it just means we will live this life to the fullest - since we don't know if there is anything beyond this.
