We are all Atheists:
Stephen Henry Roberts (1901-71) once said: “I contend that we are both (all) 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.”
A word about mysticism
Although my main focus may at times seems to be anti Christian. Do not misinterpret my intent. I am against all mystical/ magical beliefs. Part of my idiology stems from the God in the gaps concept. That being that what we do not understand has historically been explained by the workings of supernatural forces. As science progresses our understanding of the cosmos, there are fewer gaps to be filled with mysticism. My question is; why fill in the gaps with mysticism at all? Why not just say this thing has yet to be explained? Of all the Deities and beliefs that have existed in mankind’s time here on Earth, most people stubbornly adhere to one, whether that is Christianity, Judaism, Islam or any other religion. Why are some people adherents to one faith? What makes theirs right? If all the others are wrong then why is the one people practice any better? The answer is that it is not. They were simply born into that religion, or were converted though fear, loneliness, powerlessness, or any other condition of human frailty. My response to this? Just chuck all that crap out the window and live your life.

Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian
You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.
You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.
You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

Hey Shill just wanted to pass this along,posted in Peace Train forums too. Hope you update this blog soon!
Just got this from Blue Gal (Blue Gal In A Red State Blog) and have included the link to Neural Gourmet for info LINK
The gist:
Quoth Leo, "I'd like invite you all to Blog Against Theocracy. This is a little blog swarm being put together by everybody's favorite panties blogger Blue Gal for Easter weekend, April 6th through the 8th. The idea is simple. Just post something related to, and in support of, the separation of church and state each of those three days. Something big, something small, artistic, musical, textual or otherwise. The topic is your choosing. Whether your thing is stem cell research, intelligent design/Creationism, abortion rights, etc., it's all good. Separation of church and state impacts so many issues and is essential.
Blue Gal is still putting the finishing touches on everything and tying up loose ends so check in regularly with her for updates. In the meantime, if you need a little information to tickle your muse then you'll want to check over at First Freedom First for a ton of excellent resources. FFF is a partnership of two very cool groups; Americans United For Separation of Church and State and the Interfaith Alliance Foundation. Also, I can personally recommend this interview on CFI's Point of Inquiry podcast with Susan Jacoby, author of Freethinkers: A History of American Secularism. The Center For Inquiry is just one of many supporters of the FFF project.
So get involved in a little blogactivism and help raise awareness on the need to preserve separation of church and state and protecting the First Amendment. Your help in recruiting bloggers for Blog Against Theocracy is needed and appreciated too."
If you post, throw a link up in PT forums or maybe make some suggestions, give feedback, if you are so inclined. Im not blogging these days so Im just the messenger!
ah thank you... hope I'm not to late on this.. I've been rather busy.
