Mark Horvath had a fun sketch showing the various schisms within Christianity and a corresponding diagram for atheism.

He also had a blog commenting on the Salon interview with John Haught…

He got it from pharyngula

Matter of fact and to the point.  Atheism is, quite simply, Occam’s Razor taken seriously.

Thanks Jackson.

Sorry—slight screwup with this thread on my part. I’ve retitled it.

Deceptively simple.  Unfortunately it’s the nuances that get you.  I used to be treated fairly respectfully at the Christian forum “Planet Wisdom”, because I said from the beginning that I wasn’t there to convert anyone, just to present a non-Christian point of view.  Lately however (the past four months or so), the Christians have been getting really belligerant, bringing up “hard atheist” like Harris and Dawkins.  It’s like the want to argue with Harris, but he’s not available so they pick on me instead.  It was getting so they were twisting my words to make it seem like I was saying the same things as Harris.  i finally threw up my hands and left.  :(
