Am I really an atheist?
#11
RE: Am I really an atheist?
I believe in chaos. As I said, I've spent quite a few years steeping myself in the application of the mathematics of chaos theory. Belief has no part in the whole thing, which you can predict quite well using mathematics - no belief required.

One only has to pick up a newspaper or go to whatever news website to find out about chaos existing in the world. If that doesn't do it, try a weather service. Now THAT is chaos!

I don't have to believe in the existence of anything supernatural to believe in reality. I don't need to believe in Thor to believe that thunder happens. I don't need to believe in Yahweh to believe that war occurs. I don't need to believe in Saraswati to believe in the existence of music. I will say that practicing an instrument is more useful at perfecting music than worshiping Saraswati.

I read _The Principia Discordia_ available online at http://www.ology.org/principia/body.html without the cute markups on the pages. It's always good for a few laughs. It's ridiculous and it says so, unlike every other scripture I'm aware of - they are just as ridiculous, but they claim to be absolutely serious.

I also venerate pumpernickel hot dog buns. They are 100% real and delicious. But, the words of _The Principia Discordia_ and observation could combine to cause a meltdown of the universe in the presence of pumpernickel hot dog buns - two of which I personally know to exist at the time of this writing. As the universe did not cease to exist yesterday when they came into existence, I can summarily claim that even Discordianism is bullshit.
