I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

"For many of its leaders, Nazism was not the result of a "Death of God" in secularized society, but rather a radicalized and singularly horrific attempt to preserve God against secularized society."

"Science flies you to the moon. Religion flies you into buildings." -Victor Stenger

Timothy Leary identified a genetic type whose association pathway circuitry has begun to be activated.
Leary called them Futants.
Futants are naturally selected to facilitate survival by being better adapted to explore the future and take risks through their genetic characteristics.
Unless we provide a proper environment of freedom in which this positive genetic type can be recognized, operate in, and the dross be seperated from the valuable information, we will be depriving the species of a vital resource.
Every time a scientist, philosopher, artist,or athlete, pushes our threshold to new ground, the species evolves.

"Yet among the myriad microwaves, the infrared messages, the gigabytes of ones and zeros, we find words, byte-sized now, tinier even than science, lurking in some vague electricity. But if we but listen, we hear the solitary voice of that poet telling us: Yesterday is this day's madness to prepare, tomorrow's silent triumph of despair. Drink, for you know not whence you came, nor why. Drink, for you know not why you go, nor where."

to spend eternity worshipping the very same asshole that holds my loved ones captive in eternal torture chambers merely for offending his fragile ego...?
... no thanks.
