Not that theres anything wrong with that. Whether evolution is factual or not does not interest me. I was raised Christian, have altered what I believe, and am looking for Athiests to be honest how they arrived at what they believe.
I've come to believe that religions are myths from comparatively looking at religions, cults and cultures around the world.
Combined with a bit of knowledge about biology and things of that nature.
So there might be a God, but I've seen no evidence for it and I can't do anything about it.
Even if I try and deal with the situation tactically and if I assume there is one god but I don't know which of these ancient fairy tales is actually true, it seems that god is more offended if you worship the wrong god rather than worshipping no god and it would still probably be preferable to worship none.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
