I feel so picked on, so oppressed... :-) I'M BEING OPPRESSED!

They may be grand - but I like the notion of general goodness and striving. Though I would agree that it doesn't make sense to bust out lab equipment at every turn - it is good to metaphorically be open to new ideas.

To be fair to the list, numbers 1-6 seem like nice directives. But then, they have nothing whatsoever to do with atheism. They seem like what I was taught in Sunday school as a youngster. In fact, I would say that the reference to evil in #4 makes this list overtly religious, as the very idea of evil implies some apriori moral order to the universe, an idea that many non-religious people reject.

AH HAH! proof positive that Atheism is intrinsically wrong! Take that!

(I am of course kidding and being completely facetious)
