I brought in my Dawkins - Greatest Show on Earth. I had not one, but TWO of my coworkers get really uncomfortable. One actually has a biology degree, but he has (and I quote) "a real problem with evolution." I didn't press, since that tends to make things awkward. As he left for the day, he said "My problem with evolution is that I… Continue
The Reluctant Atheist - A look back

Just dropping you a hello from another friendly Denverite :)
Amen to you comment "I just couldn't accept that "our" version of God was better than everyone else's.
