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...

   Well for those of you that live in a cave or that just returned from your years long trip to and from Mars, the United States so called ” National Day of Prayer” is May the 6th.  I am a member of a group here in TN called Secualr Life and the founder of that group, Thaddeus Shwartz was asked by the Nashville Tennesseean Newspaper for his thoughts on the subject.  I post his response verbatim here as I agree with this...
