 Due to a surprising conversation on twitter, I will be making a detour into the realms of the pre-historic ( I promise no dinosaurs) and the origins of mankind.

Or maybe the origins of simple evolution…

A comment on twitter can lead to a 1,000 words quite literally. Want to know more? Come on lets take a walk through time.

I often post various atheist quotes from time to time on twitter and find it somewhat frustrating to be limited to 140 characters. So on spending a morning reading through a few favourites, I thought I would post them here for you.

Well, hell! The shit we see, right? I will admit I have watched the documentary Scientology: Going Clear… The Prison Of Belief about a dozen times.
