"God" as metaphor for our childhood innocence.

[John Dule]

Sure, most theists are man-children-- but that goes for non-theists as well.

[John Dule]

I extend my belated apologies to John Dule, his pseudo-neckbeard atheism now looks like a scholarly analysis by one of the most sagacious philosophers of religion by comparison with the recent inane adolescent edgelord ramblings of James Monroe.

I tend to calibrate the intellectual quality of my responses to fit the topic at hand, so I rarely feel the need to put in much effort on religious subjects.

[John Dule]

It's strange-- I'm often told by Atlas Christians that I have a "blind spot" when it comes to religion, or that I haven't "thought deeply" about their beliefs, yet every time I discuss the subject with them they always give me the same five arguments. Perhaps some vital piece of information continues to elude me, thought I feel that if that were the case it would have revealed itself by now.
