While I consider myself an agnostic, it is only to the fact that I do not know if there is a god. Therefore, I do not behave as if there is one. In the same way, I don’t leave food in my garden for fairies and elves to have something to feed on.
Moreover, the way believers and their institutions behave are to me more a proof that either there is no god, or if there is, it is some kind of megalomaniacal douchebag.
And if there is and is all good and wise, it will understand the way I look at the institutions that take its name, name that I take, as some would say, in vain, to criticize those institutions or individuals that do more harm than good in the name of their beliefs.
With these thoughts in mind, I will go to the Atheist Alliance International Convention. My mind is in peace.
Oh, yeah, Richard Dawkins will be there. Yesterday he was with Stephen Colbert who, as usual, talked most of the time. But got to represent the kind of nutjob who usually attacks Dawkins.
Great. Have a good time.
ReplyDeleteThank you. The only thing I regret is having only one tape for my videocamera, so I'll have to either not tape too much during the event, or tape and download to the computer.
