Do any of my atheist brothers & sister ever feel moved to feel really good and even celebrate because he or she, as a human being of the 21th century, is unburdened by the sad absurdities of a Bronze Age god of war and genocide and slaughter of the innocent and human sacrifice? I know I do. As I read posts here, I feel the need to ask if perhaps there is a particular gene which causes an intelligent person to wrap him- or herself in a primitive and violent religion. Europe, or a good part of it, seems to be disgarding gods and Isabella-esque moral rot. Our nation, alas, our once bright and shining republic of such hope and promise, appears to be stuck in a growing sinkhole and losing the name of action (an ounce of Hamlet there; I'm sorry). What are your thoughts, my noble atheist comrades? Seriously, I would treasure them.
