Post The serious problems of atheism as a worldview?

Hi Ed,

That sounds like it would be an interesting discussion. I'm an a-theist and I am game.

A word of advice, Starboy.

Don't.

What do you know about the Mr. Ed that I don't know?

Starboy, I joined in on one of the early "Ed threads" back in Feb. or March. I made some comment about Ed being a blowhard who says nothing and takes up a shi*load of space copying other's quotes.

Some folks jumped on me for being a hard a@@.

I didn't realize how prophetic I would be.

At any rate, take the advice and don't bother. You might as well go out and do something interseting and battle a windmill with your sword.

So is that it? Is that the only limitation I have? Darn, I was hoping for more than that.

What exactly is a "worldview" anyway?

How about: "A collection of beliefs about life and the universe held by an individual or a group."?
