As in, "getting a lot of sex outside of marriage"? I wish theists would get their stereotypes about atheists straight. What about the claim that atheism attracts socially inept loners who can't get laid? http://anepigone.blogspot.com/2008/12/religious-denominations-ranked-by.html BTW, I find it ironic that the same christians who preach abstinence before marriage have also started to ridicule single male atheists for our alleged inability to find sex partners. “Moral depravity”?

The article on kangaroos states that they were descended from the two on Noah's ark, although there are other theories of their origin. These include that they were sung into existence in the aboriginal dream time, or even that evolution took place I love conservapedia.
