Since we have less than two minutes left (GMT) of 2005, I should close out this year by linking you to an amusing and yet extremely relevant post: What It Feels Like to be an Atheist by Brent Rasmussen. Read this. Learn from it. Then perhaps, with regards to the bizarre mixture of sad comedies and evil tragedies that happened this year in the name of religion, we might be able to avoid a few more next year. I’m thinking of Pat Robertson, intelligent design, saying that the gays caused Hurricane Katrina, the faith-based terrorism we saw in London on July the 7th, the farce known as the “war on Christmas”, Harriet Miers, the crazy exorcisms in London, the continuing saga in Boston with the child-fondling priests, and, perhaps worst of all, the way that Muslim superstition has caused an outbreak of polio among children. If 2005 has taught us anything, it is perhaps don’t listen to the guys in robes if you want people to stay alive!
Comment policy. Summary: don't be a dick.
