I just watched an interview with an extremely probama guy. (mine. I coined the word. I call dibbs.) Anyway, he wrote a book describing all the crap Obama is inheriting.

It means too many different things to too many different people. Even the dictionary definition is "wrong" in my book.<BR/><BR/>Originally (and philosophically) theism/atheism was a metaphysical stance. (i.e. belief in the mystical/supernatural). Gnosticism/agnosticism was an epistemological stance.

I just saw a poll that showed over time (going back to 60's) people's reaction to "Would you elect a -blank- for president?" where -blank- was black, gay, atheist, and a number other attributes. Over time there was much more acceptance of almost everything except atheist, which remained the lowest.<BR/><BR/>My Spork In the Eyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05926832985660342541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7934471946563347537.post-61771730582689940072009-01-22T09:28:00.000-06:002009-01-22T09:28:00.000-06:00The "Obamasiah" has been elevated to a point where...The "Obamasiah" has been elevated to a point where he can only fail and when he does, there will be riots and violence.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I do not hate him.
