Bullshit!!

The very definition of atheist is the absence of belief in a deity.  I haven’t been writing to this blog, nor have I been very active on Twitter for the past month, however I have been trying to keep up to date on anything atheist-related with my daily Google Alerts. Almost every email I get seems to have a link to some faith-based post trying to get their point across that it takes more faith to be an atheist than it does to be a believer. I’ve seen many articles and comments that seem to conclude that since science doesn’t have all the answers with respect to the beginning of the universe or evolution then God must exist.  Bullshit!!

All of those arguments stem from the logic (I use the term loosely) that since science doesn’t have all the answers there must be only one answer – dog (sorry, feeling a bit dyslexic today).  Since when does anybody need science to conclude one way or another the existence of god. Yes, I do have complete faith in unbiased science and I am a firm believer in evolution.  However, neither of those has anything to do with my disbelief in a sky god. My lack of belief is based solely on the fact that there has been nothing in my life that has ever indicated that there is a higher power at work. There is no solid proof for god.  The Bible is bullshit and there is nothing that would indicate otherwise.

It’s called personal belief for a reason – it’s personal.  Therefore, keep it out of schools. Keep it out of government.  And, most of all, keep it out of my face.
