While I am not an atheist – I do believe in god, but I don’t follow any religion; that’s just between the two of us – I often stand by their side. Read some of the points that I support in 16 Common Myths About Atheists.
Want to believe in God, Jesus, Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy? Be my guest. Want to teach your kids to do the same? I feel sorry for them, but it will still take many years until people realize how crippling one’s reason in childhood is like a bird crippling its offspring’s wings. (*) Want to give all your money to a guy with a Lexus and a bad haircut? Fine. But don’t try to “save†me, don’t harass me in the street or at my home, don’t get politicians to enact laws to give power to you, don’t try to teach your religion in science classes by dishonestly giving it a new name and disguising it as “scienceâ€, and don’t use my tax money to write your idiocies in public places. In short, do as you want, as long as you keep it to yourself – just like I don’t go to your place trying to un-convert you.
