Atheistic Dogma- Scientific Fundamentalism

[Thumpalumpacus]

Questions get asked, answers get sought.

As opposed to religious thinking, where questions aren't allowed.

I know that all to well. My mother hated me for many years because I wouldn't just accept that I was supposed to have faith and not ask questions.

Well, why are you "supposed" to have faith?

If I were god, and I had made your beautiful brain, I'd be insulted if you refused to use it and chose instead to accept received "wisdom". In the same vein, if your god is indeed real, I'm comfortable with my atheism, because I reckon that an omnipotent being has nothing to fear from the few questions of a mere mortal.

Your mother is merely symbolic in her behavior ... but you should ponder it and look for the deeper truth her behavior holds.
