Happy Memorial Day. Now that’s out of the way, I’m going to ramble and rant about atheism.
I killed your god. I killed every single deity you could ever believe in. More than that, I truthfully am not the original cause of death of your deity. Myself, along with everyone who has ever been a reasonable and rational human being has had stake in destroying your spiritual beings.
I had read recently on Salon that there are Christians in the world who don’t believe the biblical story of Noah is factual, along with a host of other traditional stories, and relegate almost all of those “events” to basically being metaphors. Those same individuals don’t necessarily take the bible at face value as being a text of history, but entirely of religion. They’re the ones Salon claims “should not be discounted” with the rest of Christianity. I disagree. I don’t see anything written thousands of years ago by dehydrated nomads as having relevance to modern life. God is easily disproven. More than that, why should the burden of proof rest on the atheist when it comes to spirituality? That’s exactly like saying “Unicorns exist. Prove me wrong.” That isn’t logic. That’s fallacy, and that’s all Christians have. Fallacy is their bread and butter.
