Re: Flat Taxes.
Forget it. Flat taxes will never happen even if they are better than the current system. Just look at all the Tax Accountants that will become unemployed. Can you say lobbyists?

Re: some other ways to define Atheist
Yeah. Yeah. Try to reduce my position to the absurd.
There are many things that can be known given you accept the premises, but (in my experience) God isn't one of them. Atheists do hold a...
