    Why do Atheists care about religion?

    I came across this interesting video.

    I'd not seen it before. Apologies if other readers here have.

    Now that is a well considered and well researched argument. I cannot fault it. Great find.

    And then we see pious bigotry, special pleading, privileged access...

    That's a great video. I'd like to see a similar one about the UK, but of course there's no constitution to undermine or secretly adapt ... they can make it up as they go along.

    Well, there is a lot to complain about - Queen being head of the church, bishops having seats in the House of Lords. All symbolic stuff with no consequence, but annoying all the same.

    It is a sort of large thumbnail. If you click on it, you will eventually see a full-size Imageshack picture. I should have put that underneath the pic.

    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?

    Then he is not omnipotent.

    Is he able, but not willing?

    Then he is malevolent.

    Is he both able and willing?

    Then whence cometh evil?

    Is he neither able nor willing?

    Then why call him God?
