“So many Gods, so many creeds, So many paths that wind and wind, When just the art of being kind Is all this sad world needs.” Courtesy of the wonderful Freedom From Religion Foundation. On a side note, a sign displaying this message was stolen from the Legislative Building in Olympia, Washington as [...] Wow, PZ Myers is a hero of mine. I mean, the guy is just so awesome. If you are ignorant of the entire Cracker Conundrum, you owe it to yourself to read up on it. I think I posted a summary a while back. PZ’s latest post is too awesome to miss. Here’s the wonderful image of the Virgin Mary in all her glory. By the way, did I ever write about the fact that Catholicism is clearly a polytheistic religion? But that’s a whole ‘nother story. Pareidolia strikes again! If you don’t fully understand the term “pareidolia”, here is your chance to trump your friends [...] I’ve heard this quote before, and I’ve always thought it was a great one: Stephen F. Robert (apparently speaking to a Catholic) “We are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you do.

In [...] It is impossible to have an omnipotent, (all powerful) omniscient (all knowing) god. If your god is omniscient, then he knows everything that has happened and that ever will happen. But if he knows what will happen then he cannot change it, therefore he cannot be omnipotent. But if he decides to change some [...] This morning I was listening to The Salmon of Doubt by Douglas Adams. The book is a collection of articles written by Mr. Douglas and published posthumously. One of the works included is an interview from The American Atheist magazine. It is perfect. He is exactly right and his reasons are my reasons. This [...] I recently attended a gathering at work where the conversation turned to paranormal activity and the existence of spirits, ghosts, and gods. I very much dislike conversations of this sort as it troubles me that belief in such things is so utterly common and pervasive. It also troubles me that the people who do [...] I have a habit of repeating myself on this blog, and I’m about to do it again. Jeff’s recent post about life goals and such made me remember two life lessons that I often reflect upon. I’m sure I have more than two in my repertoire, but these two just popped into my head.
