If you think it impacts your life enough, has screwed up your plans for scouting, or just care that much, then rock on. Perhaps a person or two will listen.

In the meantime, I’d still say your technical topics serve more of humanity in a beneficial way.

One thing that has always puzzled me about atheism though is the need to proclaim the lack of belief. I am a non-believer, or a person without faith, heretic, whatever it’s called. I have been all of my life. I have never once had the urge to share my non-belief with anyone though.

Dave, the problem is that it’s becoming more and more apparent that religion does harm — even in its moderate form. That is the reason people are speaking out about it. If it were the type of thing that was kept behind closed doors and wasn’t forced on others in various forms, I’d be silent about it as well.

The time to be silent about it has passed.

But remember, a Christian man is not necessary a moral man – and despite what a lot of Christians espouse, being atheist in no way implies a lack of morals or virtue.

I hope that as more people have access to the internet and global communications, more people will question their childhood-imprinted religious beliefs and discover reason instead.

I have been all of my life. I have never once had the urge to share my non-belief with anyone though. To me religion has always been what seemed to be mostly a fairly tail with a bunch of social impacts tied to it. It has always seemed to me that anyone, whether citing their beliefs or non-beliefs , is usually selling something. To me the measure of true disbelief has always seemed to be never discussing the topic outside of its affect on society. Personal declarations on the topic usually look to me like someone who cares about the idea way too much. Just like the tooth fairy, I couldn’t care less who believes in it or not. I care so little about it that discussing the tooth fairy at all seems like a huge waste of time to me.

So I commend your writing here, it was a good read as far as reading goes. I urge you to return to writing about more important stuff like technology though. Your great writing skills serve the world much better when you spend time applying them to things that matter.

PS. You know the drill when it comes to stuff I say. I’m not trying to be a dick.
