Most atheists don't have the kind of 'moral anal ramrod' that causes them to start censoring others of things that harm no-one. Christianists, though, along with the other Abrahamic religions, can be a bit close-minded about stuff like this.
Or will you tell me that the Victorians were all rampaging atheists?
Look at the large number of German soldiers in WW2 who tried hard to be captured by the US, UK, France or anyone else except Russia and their satellites...
...or give guns to any Tom, Dick or Harry who can go out and kill anyone they feel like, either on purpose or by accident. Life is apparently cheap in America once born.
I'm pretty sure most liberals would happily do away with abortion IF you could do away with accidental (or forced or medically bad) pregnancies. Since those will happen, you have to have a safe, legal route for abortion. Just look at that Indian woman in Ireland for an example, or all the countries where abortion was illegal. But no liberal actually wants to kill babies any more than gun 'nuts' want anyone with a gun to kill children.
That is the lamest ever set of justifications I've ever heard from heartless, cold, small-minded bigots you are parroting there. You can't even acknowledge that actually they may have a point, given that civil liberties have been expanding/improving over the last century or so.
It's like the whole "I'm being persecuted because I'm not allowed to persecute blacks/gays/women/muslims/catholics" argument.
The 'liberals' no more have an agenda than the conservatives or the fundamentalists or in fact any other human collective. It's just slapping the label 'agenda' on it, like that is a bad thing, dehumanises them so you can broad-brush ignore them.
And as for Mr "I'm White and Underprivileged", all I can say is stop voting for people who give money to big companies and big banks, and instead on those who might actually spend money on relieving poverty or paying for education or healthcare for all.
And no, the Democrats have their heads up the bankers' arses too.
There's non-artificial CGI? Or even non-artificial non-computer special effects? But you're right about the special effects being home-made and more special.
I still rememeber as a six-year-old being terrifed by the skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts. So when as an adult I had the opportunity to touch and handle one of the models, it was a definite nerdgasm for my inner six-year-old. Now, a whole generation will grow up never being able to really see, feel or otherwise experience their effects outside of the movies.
That being said, well-done CGI effects are still awesome and great progress.
You've never been in an old apartment or large building that acts as a Faraday cage, have you? A lot of people in urban environments have very poor signal indoors, enough to render it non-obvious unless a specific person is known to normally have good signal indoors.

Seriously, does no-one in the US actually know what Communism, Fascism or any other -ism is?
These are the same people who say that atheism is a religion, but Islam isn't.
