Well I love this site.  The Friendly Atheist.Its chock-full-o goodies for those with an open mind.  If you have an open mind please check it out.  If you are easily offended and believe that everyone should live, breath and feel the same without the freedom to think outside the group mentality then you may want to shay away.  This article in particular made me laugh out loud.  I had no idea why muslims get upset when folks draw...
