I did the Blasphemy Challenge just five days ago, and I already received my The God Who Wasn't There DVD! I'm so happy. I'll watch it as soon as I get some work done.
In other news, I met a fundy kid the other day. We've been having debates, and, amazingly, it's been very civil and understanding. I like it. Every point was countered (although not necessarily agreed with, of course) with some sort of actual response. Now, this is very different from the type of debate I'm used to- where people just interrupt others, like little children, just to attack a half-said answer (that is thus completely out of context.) Everyone was patient, and we all were able to express our sides. It was two against two, and I'm so happy to have someone on my side. Although all my best friends are atheist/agnostic, it's always such a breath of fresh air to meet a new one (or just discover that someone you already knew is one.) So they were very pleasant debates and I always walked away with the hope that maybe, just maybe our points will be considered. It's interesting to see how religious minds work.... except at times it can be downright confusing. ;-)
