Agreed, man!
But not agreed on everything - one small part, highlighted below:
I think it was much better during the 50's and 60's right after WW2, as it was all about communism vs democracy. Then now, radical extremists (Taliban, ISIS - especially an alarming number of ISIS terrorists in the hiding here in DC metro area which is frightening) and "holier-than-thou" folks are stirring up a bit of commotion these days, driving many atheists to express extreme intolerance towards religions, particularly some of them - with the atheists and their discrimination towards such generally on a sharp rise as of late. Just an observation (and a disagreement) to mention, that's all.
You from Wisconsin anyway, so no wonder you had a black professor anyway, lol. Definitely not in the deep south where I grew up in, where 98+% of African Americans were being massively oppressed. Many of them were so uneducated to begin with, so it was difficult for them to begin with anyway.

Ok with science that the big bang theory requires that fundamental scientific laws do not exist for the first few minutes, but not ok for the creator to defy these laws...
