		<description>Another fantastic video, Pat. My only gripe is that there aren't enough of them. I could do with one a week to cheer me up and to remind me I'm not alone and not the only one who DOESN'T seem to be a religious nut. 
 This week sees the concerning news that 30% of teachers would like to be able to teach creationism alongside other religious indoctrination - I'd love to hear your views on that - and the fact that the president elect of the USA STILL has to kow-tow to the religious right, and swear allegiance to "God" when he takes up his post. Is there no hope for us all?
 More, more, MORE please of your wonderfully enlightening appearances.</description>

		<description>The Joy of Freedom

When I became convinced that the Universe is natural — that 
all the ghosts and gods are myths, there entered into my brain, 
into my soul, into every drop of my blood, the sense, the feeling, 
the joy of freedom. The walls of my prison crumbled and fell, the 
dungeon was flooded with light and all the bolts, and bars, and 
manacles became dust. I was no longer a servant, a serf or a slave. 
There was for me no master in all the wide world — not even in 
infinite space. I was free — free to think, to express my thoughts 

— free to live to my own ideal — free to live for myself and 
those I loved — free to use all my faculties, all my senses — 
free to spread imagination's wings — free to investigate, to guess 
and dream and hope — free to judge and determine for myself — 
free to reject all ignorant and cruel creeds, all the "inspired" 
books that savages have produced, and all the barbarous legends of 
the past — free from popes and priests — free from all the 
"called" and "set apart" — free from sanctified mistakes and holy 
lies — free from the fear of eternal pain — free from the winged 
monsters of the night — free from devils, ghosts and gods. For the 
first time I was free. There were no prohibited places in all the 
realms of thought — no air, no space, where fancy could not spread 
her painted wings — no chains for my limbs — no lashes for my 
back — no fires for my flesh — no master's frown or threat — no 
following another's steps — no need to bow, or cringe, or crawl, 
or utter lying words. I was free. I stood erect and fearlessly, 
joyously, faced all worlds. 
And then my heart was filled with gratitude, with 
thankfulness, and went out in love to all the heroes, the thinkers 
who gave their lives for the liberty of hand and brain — for the 
freedom of labor and thought — to those who fell on the fierce 
fields of war, to those who died in dungeons bound with chains — 
to those who proudly mounted scaffold's stairs — to those whose 
bones were crushed, whose flesh was scarred and torn — to those by 
fire consumed — to all the wise, the good, the brave of every 
land, whose thoughts and deeds have given freedom to the sons and daughters of 
men and women. And then I vowed to grasp the torch that they had held, and 
hold it high, that light might conquer darkness still.

		<description>Pat.. Please put up a support petition for non-Brits, so we can show our support too. If this insanity can strike the foundation of western society then it will then infect other parts of the FREE thinking world. 

If they want to believe in fairy tales and boogie men, so be it, but lets not let them spread their insanity to others.

Life is not a supernatural eternity test.

If there was a god s/h/it would laugh  its ass off at the believing fools.

Of course insanity is contagious when it is spread by the belief in myth.

Peace to you too, Pat.

Just another American citizen $cewed by the government.

It will be just a matter of time, when we will be forced to bail out Allah, Jesus and Santa Claus.</description>
