You fools, when will you realize that there should be no formal support groups on campus? How many cultural houses and "counselors" must you hire before you realize that you can't coddle and protect every disaffected students on campus. A campus should be a marketplace of ideas, if you can't defend your "unique" and "beneficial" contribution to diversity from assimilation, then its probably not all that meaningful because, guess what Sherlock, no one's buying it.
There are very, very few "believing" atheists. Most people who call themselves atheists are simply secular. You almost have to have a PhD to construct a worldview without God.
Also, the Edmund White quotation is about the worst possible reason not to believe in God. Why would you disbelieve something metaphysical because of something ethical? How does that follow?
Is this another one of those Prince articles that "coincidentally" anticipates a campus issue like the anti-Prop 8 articles last year? Please stop doing this if you have any self esteem.
These "True Jesus Church" peopel who are haunting campus - does anybody know anything about them? Are they at all affiliate with the university? Are there even Princeton students involved? It seems to me like a fringe, cult-like sect of Christianity is attempting to recruit on campus and I find that very uncomfortable.
"People created religion, not the other way around"
That's right. And man created god in his own image.
"You almost have to have a PhD to construct a worldview without God".

@Anonymous, dunno if it's affiliated, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Jesus_Church
@Atheist, your pets are rather impressive to have constructed a worldview. Actually, not so much; my dog was lost, but now he's found.

Hey, thanks!
"You almost have to have a PhD to construct a worldview without God".
You almost have to have a PhD to construct a worldview sine Mercurius, Venus, Mars, Iuppiter, Saturnus, Uranus, et Neptunus. Not to mention Tiw (Tuesday), Woden/Odin (Wednesday), Thor (Thursday), and Frigg/Freyja (Friday).
You heretics TAKE OUR NAMES IN VAIN every day.
"You almost have to have a PhD to construct a worldview without God."
Let me give it a shot:
There's no evidence for god, and the notion has zero explanatory power, so we should reject it like any other fool thing.
There you go, that wasn't hard.
