Greetings Cliff :-)

First of all I wish to express that you have done a wonderful job informing the "un-informed" about Atheism -- what it is and what it is not.

Second of all, I wish to commend you on your demeanor and patience that you display when dealing with the e-mail from irrational and spiteful viewers. I have read several of the e-mails posted and never in my life have I seen so much circular reasoning and logical fallacies posted on one web site. I don't know how you put up with it. I would have lost my temper along time ago. Keep up the good work Cliff.

Sincerely,
Melanie Parsons

"To argue with a person who has abandoned reason, is like administering medication to the dead."
-- Thomas Paine

"God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion."
-- Homer Simpson

Cliff sez:

I put up with it for the same reason the bus driver puts up with the jerks who ride the bus: it's my job. And like the bus driver, I could always put in for a transver or do a career change, but I feel that I do this well and, for the most part, I enjoy being of service -- providing a resource and setting an example that I could have used many times in the past.
