I've agreed to place ads in my blog in order to make "some money" which I'll donate to charity to one of the voluntary organizations I used to work with my donating both time and money Chicago Cares and/or Room to Read

The latter is better since it is got one of the highest ratings by the agency Charity Navigator which independently monitors how effective and efficient voluntary organizations use your contributions. Less administrative and over-head costs the better.

The ads are supposed to be relevant to the subject of the topics. I notice there are some spiritual and religious sites being promoted!

Close friends of mine know that I'm an atheist since the age of 18 long before it became fashionable to call yourself one!

I also don't believe in spiritual crap as nothing is spiritual in the world. I'm sorry there's no soul. Everything is physical in this world.

Our emotions, thoughts , consciousness all have a physical origin our BRAIN! Take the brain out or even sections of it and we will loose all knowledge even of the self.

There's an excellent book called Phantoms in the Brain which talks about cutting edge research in Neuroscience.

I agree with one of the ex-Governors of Minnesota Jesse Ventura , that religion is crutch for weak minded people. Here's the actual quote "Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business."

Having said that, I don't mind the plug for relgiously businesses. If people feel they are delivering value, why not buy from them.

Heck, I buy a lot from Sierra Trading Post and the owners seem to be pretty religious. They always seem to have some quote from the Bible in their catalougues and also web-site.

BTW, I recommend STP (Sierra Trading Post). They have excellent products at very good prices and excellent customer service to boot.
