Ah, well, that must have been my prejudice then. I thought you were an atheist and that atheists don't believe things without evidence.

The definition of 'atheist' is enough to sustain a whole bulletin board. To a lesser extent, so are the definitions of logical positivism, empiricism and rationalism. I predict that when those definitions are worked out, "not believing things without evidence" will be somewhere in the mess but not synonymous with atheism.*

Fence was trying to pull a No True Atheist(tm) fallacy on me.

You're too quick for me, JoeP.

It's interesting the right hates lawyers till they need them to get out of ethics charges, money laundering and other Family Values troubles they seem to crawl into. Also notable; icky Scooter Libby (who got that nickname because he 'scooted' across the floor when a child-GROSS!) and the White House have to attend ethics classes while Libby has a slushfund now called the Scooter Libby Defense Fund! Outrageous! They're getting him all lawyered up to avoid prosecution. Tommy Delay loves lawyers too it appears. Yeah, the right hates working people having access to representation, they want those rights squelched so they can have the lawyers all to themselves.
