“Prayer: the one way to do nothing at all and still feel like you’re helping.”

Nonsense, blogging is another way.

Dr. Dobson is a man of God and so is his wife Shirley who want us to come to the winner, who is Jesus and not become loosers for an entire eternity in hell.

If James Dobson is going to be in heaven I will happily spend the rest of my life in hell.

Elijah, spouting out Bible verses is probably the least effective way of gaining supporters. I'm not swayed by fiction. If you think prayer is effective, google the name of Madeline Neumann.

The “Task Force” excludes Jews, Muslims, Catholics and even mainline Christians

Since when are Catholics, (around 24% of the population) not mainline?

I think I'm going to have myself a belated day of reason on my own. Maybe I can manage to track down a book by Eugenie Scott or something like that to bring with me. *giggle* I do all those things and now I’m annoyed that I can’t donate blood on the day itself to demonstrate my support for the Day of Reason — I’ll still have a week to go before I’m eligible again.

I already donate blood, have been signed up as an organ donor since I was 16, and donate to The Brights, The American Humanist Association, and Atheists and Other Freethinkers of Sacramento as well as many other non-religious charitable organizations. I suppose I could add the Secular Student Alliance. *sigh* For organ donation - remember it is VERY important to let your family know of your wishes. Hmm.
