Post #249,011 by ben_tilly 3/23/06 11:26:25 AM Reply	Please remind me... to stay around well-educated East and West coast people. It sounds safer than going somewhere where I'm not wanted, like the Midwest or South. Actually, I think you just did. Cheers, Ben I have come to believe that idealism without discipline is a quick road to disaster, while discipline without idealism is pointless. -- Aaron Ward (my brother)
Post #249,014 by Another Scott 3/23/06 11:36:53 AM Reply	It's interesting to compare state Wikipedia entries. E.g. [link\|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Dakota#Religion\|South Dakota]: 91% Christian, 8% non-religious Versus [link\|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massachusetts#Religion\|Massachusetts] 79% Christian, 17% non-religious Versus [link\|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah#Religion\|Utah]: 81% Christian, 18% non-religious It explains (maybe poorly, maybe well) some of the recent legislative activity in some of the states. Maybe more atheists should move to South Dakota. :-) Cheers, Scott.

Post #249,105 by dmcarls 3/23/06 9:10:25 PM Reply	Also, Ben... in the article: [...] "Many of the study\ufffds respondents associated atheism with an array of moral indiscretions ranging from criminal behavior to rampant materialism and cultural elitism." Criminal behavior? In the Midwest?
Post #249,109 by ben_tilly 3/23/06 9:42:30 PM Reply	You may have missed my point I'm an atheist. I prefer to live places where this fact does not cause people to either dislike me, or to waste energy trying to convert me.
