I'm thinking of becoming a fire-and-brimstone, ummm... I mean plasma-and-sulfur compound, foaming-at-the-mouth Atheist Evangelist.
I am convinced that all of the intellectual arguments in the universe will never cause theists to leave the world alone and stay out of the business of holding humanity in the shackels of ignorance.
--------------------
Theists hear me! You are slaves to an ancient instinct to follow the tribe lest you be ostracized. This has no place in the world anymore. Your behavior is the same as that of a child kowtowing to the schoolyard bully.
It's time to GROW UP!
Your worldview is founded on fantasy and self imposed ignorance! You are emotionally weak and accept willful stupidity as a way of life.
But DESPAIR NOT! You can be SAVED!
You can be washed in the cleansing waters of Rationalism and Objectivity. Clear your minds and let the wonders of the natural universe fall upon you. Be not trapped by unsupportable hearsay! Accept the SCIENTIFIC METHOD as you guide. Use it every day and feel the sense of freedom and wisdom that stems from using your MIND to fathom the secrets of the universe!
Abandon your emotional ties to a way of life that leads you, like lemmings, blindly over the cliffs of ignorance. You are better than that! You are a HUMAN BEING with a brain that has been honed over BILLIONS of YEARS to become the universe reflecting upon itself! This is an AWESOME reality!
The universe - YOU - alive and aware! Examining itself!
Ultimate truth stems NOT from internal reflection upon a false creation of your emotional weakness. Use your INTELLECT to access the awesome consensual reality that is the universe around you!
Let us cogitate:
My mind is the supreme expression of organization of the universe.
I am the universe awakened.
I value rationality and all incarnations of intellect above baseless hearsay.
The joy of life is living, knowing I am free from the ability of others to sway me with rhetoric and baseless assertions.
I can KNOW the universe and not live in fear.
My fellow humans, and all creatures, are supreme expressions of the physical laws of nature, the results of billions of years on painstaking evolution, and I revere their existence. Their value is inherent!
scientia, ratiocinatio, pax
