Pledge 'no decision' changes nothing
Oh God, this is stupid. As an atheist, I just do not understand the hubbub over this. Why waste time, energy, and money on this silly issue? We have plenty of other things to worry about, like President Bush going after officially sanctioning religious organizations to do government charity work, or private (read religious) school vouchers. There are many more important issues for my fellow atheists to champion. It reminds me of a recent California election, a Libertarian candidate for Governor had a platform that was based on (of all things) “Ferret Rights”, this in a year when California was focused on energy and the economy. Talk about discrediting the Libertarian cause, people thought him nuts, and by association Libertarians, nutcases. The same is true here today. People tire of the pettiness of this fight, especially when the focus is on war and terrorism. This does not help the atheist cause. Not at all!
We need a leader. Any volunteers?
