"I'm shocked--SHOCKED--to find out that gambling is going on in here." ...ok, so I am an atheist. Now I'd think that is a simple statement, but some folks keep asking about my 'beliefs'. So, I often say "I...do...not...believe...in...god.” --what part of that is difficult to understand? Here's my reason for being, being here anyway. If I can encourage another to see that many intelligent personages throughout history have poo-pooed* Christianity and indeed all religions, then my work will be done, my life will have been well-lived. So, I sprinkle my answers with quotes from Jefferson, Ingersoll, Jobs, and even Myron Cohen. ----- *Yes, poo-pooed. In the most poopist way. I think religion, generally, is the biggest con job ever played. I tremble with fear when I think what a person can do when they cease to think rationally and begin to simply 'have faith''.
