I forgot to add I have started to stay away from any steak with "RIB" in the title. There is a lot more fat for my taste in those steaks. Dont know why or it might just be me.

No its true the marbling is heavier on ribeye. If its good meat then that lovly buttery marbling makes for a great taste, howver it isn't so good for you. If you get to Dublin Ireland you should try out the steak at Luigi Malones in Temple bar

(The Friary, 5-6 Cecilia Street
Temple Bar, Dublin 2,Ireland)

Wow, best steak in Ireland so far!

lemon is nice but orange is better. Lime is one of my favourites though.

Love orange marmalade... hard to find around here. Especially Robertson's.

All the Obama McCain crap is totally boring. I'd rather discuss marmalade

Orange or lemon?

Tomato and garlic (maybe with a little red onion) marmalades are nice on crostini.

I've found orange marmelade to be the the ultimate food fight weapon. You get a few big gobs of that shit in somebodies hair and they are finished.

There is indeed more fat in a ribeye. That's what makes 'em taste so good.

I'm obviously not an atheist ... isn't it obvious? But I can understand why people get "ticked" over certain things. The American (USA) culture is permeated with religious reference. If they don't believe then why get worked up you ask. Well, I do not prescribe to the premillennial theology that is so prevalent in Evangelical Churches and at times I feel "Oh, brother" when Tim Lahaye puts out another book. So maybe most atheist are angry, but if they are I may understand why.

I've read through this thread and now I'm off to wander around the kitchen...this evening I had a seafood pasta mainly using fresh mussels & razor clams caught from the bay, with some scallops from the fishmonger, but it all doesn't compare to a quality medium rare steak!!

Darius, if you like tomato juice, try squeezing half a lime into your glass with some cracked pepper and sea salt. Delicious.

Orange cut marmalade! If I spread some on my morning toast my mood immediately brightens - seriously.

And marmites a spread for the dead - it tastes of concentrated salt and possibly cat poo...

Anyone still hungry?

Why is that then Steve? To convince themselves or because they simply find the notion of religion so ridiculous?

I'm not sure what your question is ... sorry.

My point -- it is possible to be peeved about something you don't believe in if you feel it' influence is everywhere.

I pointed out that I'm not an atheist so I will not speak for them, but I grow weary of a prevalent theology that I feel is wrong. Am I angry over it ... no, more just why don't they (premillellinialist) "get it" ... more perplexed than angry.

[vortexring 0]

Understood Steve.

Still, I wonder: on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being somebody of complete and utter belief in their God, and 10 being complete and utter disbelief, would it be that the closer one comes to the end of the scale, the angry they're more likely to be at the other?

Or would it be more likely for the 10's to be more angry than the 0's?

And why?


...only my thoughts! Not questions aimed at anyone in particular.

The reason is that it actually takes a great deal of commitment and belief in your views to admit to being an atheist in public. Atheists are usually looked down upon, as being angry, or immoral or whatever. You will never see someone in public office admit to being one, and there are very few places where you can be respected for sharing your views.

Never mind the fact that nearly all of our founding fathers were themselves atheists; a great deal of people erroneously believe we live in a country founded on Christian Values. Most people have some semblance of tolerance about them, and so will not criticize somebody for having a different religion, but when you have no religion, then it seems to be a different story.

If you're open about atheism, you probably have to be passionate about it. Most people can't admit to it because of the backlash from other people in their work environment, community etc. Most atheists probably do not share their views for this reason.

Further, when Atheists speak out or otherwise fight for a cause they believe in, it is seen as an attack on religion. Religion is a personal thing that in the United States anyway, you're not supposed to question. You can disagree on politics and philosophy all you want, but disagreeing about religion is hugely personal and off limits for some reason.

Seeking to remove God from the public sector is seen as an attack on religion and morals, when in reality it's pragmatically best and it's what our founding fathers wanted all along.

That's my guess as to why we're seen as angry. There are a lot of Atheist asshole out there, just as there are fundamentalist assholes. It's just that you rarely see reasonable atheists, because they hide it.

That's my guess as to why you have the perception you do.
