I fail to see how an atheist who can point out that the Earth looks small and insignificant from a distance (much like ANY object) proves anything other than that he can ignore simple perceptual constancy for the sake of injecting an emotionally based political argument into a scientific datum. Neither do I see how quoting someone who drones on about the woes of intolerance is consonant with your dismissal of religious ideas as "[sic] small minded."

5'd for not spoiling the mood with an ill-placed NEDM
