One doesn't have to believe in the devil to be defined as "open-minded" or to appreciate the effects of revival. But being so quick to pounce on other people's logical fallacies, I'm sure atheists are well aware of same.

WHAT effects?

I'm well aware that there are some who view the religion business as desirable as Opium for the People, as Royal Lies.

However, I don't quite buy that theory.

Well, we can add another percent of a percent to the 18 percent of infidel Canadians, cuz this atheist Canuck didn't fill out no questionnaire, what with being in Old Blighty and all when it was administered, eh.

I don't think my hubby filled one out either, and he's the strongest atheist I know, so there's another one for the list.

Yep, we're goin' to hell in the proverbial handbasket in the wild, wild North, so we are.

Actually, I was reading in an article last year about the Raelians (still my all time favorites) that Quebec alone has something in the neighbourhood of 800 different religions. Those crazy pepsis!

I'll see if I can find the source...

And just when you thought things were getting better...
What's a 'pepsi'? BTW, did those Raelian folks ever have that cloned baby?
