Atheism

This article is a response to Sketch, an atheist who I met through the StumbleUpon website. He asked me where my convictions actually lie in relation to religion. It's a good question, because I say I'm not an atheist, but I clearly consider atheist my allies. I get along atheist because they rely on logic rather than dogma, and they lean on science rather than holy books. Saying that I am not atheist implies that I believe in god, but I don't believe in god in the way that most people would imagine. God is a word that has been very misused, but rather than accept or reject the definition that they tried to force on me I redefined the word.

Actually to call it a definition is a little bit of an understatement. It's more like a logical construct. It usually takes me several hours to give my full thesis, and I won’t put you through that, but will give a short sumary.

The bible states on no uncertain terms that gays, atheist and rebellious children should be taken out and killed in public. There is something seriously wrong with our culture if we still consider this book a reference point for our morality and justice.

This video does a good job of driving the point home. He repeats the word "repulsive" a few too many times for my taste though. Oh well.

I'm not an atheist at all, but when it comes to logic I far prefer the way atheist think, and at the end of a discussion usually atheist tend to understand and even agree with my point of view. Christians on the other hand... whew! Christians are a another story all together. Remember, I was raised as a Christian, and I accepted Jesus into my heart...twice! (and yes I did mean it at the time) That's why I found this video so amusing. Not as a defense of atheism, but rather in its mocking of religion.
