We discuss a broad range of topics, most of which have strong opponents and proponents.

Takeaways: debates, feuds, venom, chuckles, parody, satire, reaction, review, education, strong atheism.

If we were all atheists, then we would be better off as a society.
Why? Because all religious violence would immediately cease.

Sidney Winston's Axioms:
-All gods are imaginary.
-Human evolution is proven science.
-The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth are more relevant than the Ten Commandments of Christianity.
