Prejudice is such a neat thing to look at, because the very notion behind prejudice is illogical -- that of treating one thing different from another based on irrelevant distinctions.

I think that is why some people have a problem with equality--they don't want to consider that the person who doesn't look or behave like them is equal to them.

Naturally, I am above this. As an elitist, I treat everyone equally disdainfully. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]

Then you're honestly the first man I've met [virtually] who can keep in check his emotions. I salute you for being able to control all the hormones and chemical substances our body pumps around. I, for one, can't.

Screw all those depressed and suicidal people... They should be like you, and choose to be happy!

Hint: It's the 'THEIR' part. An Athiest may not believe he/she has a creator (old bearded man who sits on a throne in the clouds) but invariably they must believe they were created which is of course different than a creator.

[/QUOTE]All well and good, but the creator is mentioned in the following sentence. In any case the state of being created implies a creator.
