Heads up the government folks: Instead of wasting time trying pretend you can control the environment, you should be figuring how to get everybody to higher ground, when the inevitable NON HUMAN CAUSED global warming comes.
Fools I tell you, all fools.
Lex Luther was right all along.

Very well then, I'll bite. I can't resist. Which is the simpler explanation:
1) God created the heavens and the earth, and it was good.
2) Humans are the result of tiny errors in replication, mistakes which resulted in subsequent generations having a higher efficiency of replication, continuing over countless generations for millions and millions of years, starting with a single cell organism and culminating in a supremely intelligent, multifaceted, sentient entity playing devils advocate on a message board dedicated to Japanese news.

Nonbinding agreement.
This is like when a group of people who hate each other politely agree to get together sometime for drinks, when nobody has any intention of doing anything of the sort.

this is often widely misinterpreted and applied. Firstly, the concept came from a monk who belonged to an ascetic sect, who saw the world through a lens of simplicity. A case of only having a hammer and seeing nails every where.
Secondly, people usually mistake it to mean that "when there is no obvious solution, a simplest one works best." When in actuality it means that "When a simple solution has been found, there is no need to look for a more difficult one."
To the question of existence, humanity, why we are here, what, if any, our purpose is, I daresay that a simple solution has not been found.
Merely different models have been suggested that involve varying levels of complexity and acceptance.
The word "Atheist" itself is a reactionary term to "theists." With no theism, there would be no need for atheism.
The whole "atheist" movement and belief is "against" another movement.
If you guys were really honest you'd call yourselves pagans, or wiccans or something. Or a layman's term for scientist, like naturalist or something. But that wouldn't be very popular, and people would look at you funny.
Which is why I suspect the intention behind this article is the same as any other group which is in the minority, and doesn't feel it's getting it's fair share of props.

Bunch of useless posturing by power hungry governments looking for any excuse to raise taxes and control wealth.
I don't believe that Obama walked in "uninvited" for a second. Just more posturing to try and appeal like a "tough" guy back home.

Likely story. Going to Tokyo, eh? How convenient. Somebody'd better call Horatio on this.

They are going to all agree on some vaguely worded, non binding agreement that isn't set to go into effect into any of these posturing fools are well out of office. Then they will all go home and claim victory to their constituents, and use that "victory" as a justification to increase taxes, government power, and further erode personal freedom.
And the sad part is that most sheeple will willingly go along with it.

Just like in kindergarten, everybody gets a prize so nobody cries. Better for the self esteem that way.

Christianity: A model to describe reality that is beyond our limits of human comprehension.
Atheism: A model to describe reality that is beyond our limits of human comprehension.
Christianity is more popular because it leads to easier government of millions of people.
Sounds like these particular atheists are angry because their particular viewpoint doesn't get as much public recognition as the Jesus lovers.

Dear Dear Leader,
This is Barack from the United States. I've heard that you scored over fifteen holes-in-one on your national golf course. My previous golf mentor, Tiger Woods, is unavailable, so I was wondering if you could give me some pointers on the game.
Thanks in advance,
Your Pal,
Barack Obama

Everybody is fair game to the media. There are laws in place for things like this. If any media cross the line, they get sued.
I think a candid TV interview would hurt him more than anything else. The absolute best thing he can do is keep a low profile, and win some majors. Let the media say what they will. He's already lost all his media income, if he stops playing golf he'll lose that as well. Unless he's got massive investments that are paying dividends, he's going to need some dough.
