Donna Druchunas is a freelance technical writer and editor and a knitwear designer. When she's not working, she blogs, studies Lithuanian, reads science and sci-fi books, mouths off on atheist forums, and checks her email every three minutes. (She does that when she's working, too.) Although she loves to chat, she can't keep an IM program open or she'd never get anything else done.

Is Dan Barker a fundamentalist?

A friend sent me a link to a Denver Post article about atheism this morning. I was glad to see the article for two reasons. First, just to have atheists given space in the local news and second, because I happen to agree with what the author wrote. Here’s an excerpt: I don’t believe in the supernatural. This includes God…
