And some wonder why people consider atheists to be anti-religion…

cool!
I love Westchester!
My ex used to live there and everyone seemed very open and friendly.

Fred, Brad,

the tree of knowledge is such an apt metaphor for what religion is – an enemy of learning and progress

in the garden of eden there was no change, no growth, no thinking

You’re absolutely right, Brad. It suggests a new motto for the church:

“Christianity – suppressing knowledge since 4000 BC”.

Isn’t it interesting that you would call it the “tree of knowledge” … sounds like not much has changed since the garden of Eden…

Cool!

Jake, as long as the other kind of tree insists on being erected, this is a good counterpoint to it. Check the link. It goes up between religious displays.

I thought atheists were usually against such displays on public property. Is this different?
