Wired: The New Athiests
December 12, 2006 by John in Religion
I was having lunch at the Staggering Ox yesterday when I came across this article on atheism in Wired. I didn’t have time to read it all so I looked it up online for future reference.
I’m experiencing inner conflict. My issues are twofold. First, I can’t seem to purge the last vestiges of superstition from my consciousness (I seem to want to very badly). Second, I find my tolerance of believers waning, but I don’t want to alienate my friends (or clients) who believe. But my internal monologue is starting to bleed out into the world. I’m not so sure it entirely matters in the grand scheme of things; I don’t generally care when people keep to themselves. But the more evangelical/verbal a given person on the subject of mythology the more I want to smite them with a heavy object.
