John Paul Cortens' letter Tone deaf to God (Sept. 30) contained a few falsehoods. First, atheists do not hold that "godless chance" accounts for the origins of life, and for the apparent order of the universe. Life originated in the hot oceans of primitive Earth, when amino acids (the building blocks of life) were formed from the chemical reactions of simple inorganic compounds, with lightning providing the energy for the reactions; and the apparent order of the universe is due to the laws of physics. Second, atheists do not insist that theists are "stupid or insane." We merely insist that they lack evidence for a creator. Heavens to Murgatroyd, a debunker, a denier who is being published!

They're going to be 15 in the next 10 years, and then what? It's not policy, it's not theory - these are people. And these people are young people, and that's why we do what we're doing.

Like many Manitobans, I can't tell you how many times I've complained about this winter's cold weather. I've considered cashing in my kids' education fund just to whisk off to a warm climate for the next three months. But then, I have this option. Animals don't. D'Arcy Johnston, the president of D'ARcy's Animal Rescue Centre, reported a "record number of cats with frostbite. I can't explain why so many cats are abandoned. Few can. Perhaps those who ignore cat bylaws feel their cats need the exercise or stimuli. But now is a time to be vigilant. Resist all of your cat's requests to roam. Sure, they may attempt some destructive behaviour, but it always takes time to introduce change into an animal's life. My cats have never been intentionally let outdoors. Admittedly, they do get bored....

(In a democracy, we should never fear elections or consider them unnecessary, especially at a time when others are fighting -- and dying -- for the right to vote in other countries.) It's about the fact that Canadian executives and entrepreneurs should consider themselves lucky to live in a country that, though it is incredibly large and diverse, has achieved broad political consensus on most major issues, including fiscal policies, and created a remarkably stable environment for business. Despite all the fearmongering about this party's hidden agenda and that party's job-killing tax hikes, the reality is that the policy differences between the four parties are relatively minor compared to the divergent choices in many other countries.
