Why I am an atheist? My body simply can't handle theism. I must be a strange artifact of evolutionary contingency.
Boy, am I a lousy believer. I especially suck in the blind faith department and in the total submission department and the combination is lethal to my low treshold built in balooney detection unit. My nervous system can't handle unsubstantiated bullshit. My stomach protests when all kinds of rituals, uniforms and queer behaviour is used to give credulence to opaque drooling of zombielike nitwits copying words from ancient goat shephards to proselytize their religious blabla. I get a severe rash from communion wafers and holy sacraments. My stomach ulcer protests when phoney bilble belt TV priests ramble on for hours to end in a plea for my money. My kneecaps fall off when, often without any forewarning, religious leaders appear in my newspaper to comment on society as if they were experts of some sort. I have to stay in the can for days with my diarrhea after having direct contact with claims of the afterlife. Should I go further? I sometimes wonder how I've survived so far. It may be that I am missing some crucial gen on my DNA that enables believers to believe contrary amply provided evidence. But hey, are you offended when I wanna feel part of the human race?
