The rules of Atheism:
1. Question everything - if it doesn't make any sense, don't believe it.
2. See rule number 1
- I'm with you bro. Spot on. Well said.
See that is why i love George Carlin, he questions everything. As i do the same to, i disliked authority. I don't consider myself an atheist. How could i be since i married a religious Muslim woman who follows strict arab cultures. But i'm also anti religion and don't believe in prayers, it's all but a state of mind. I even question how humankind existed. She knows my stand regarding religion and most of the time it is the reason why we argue a lot. Weird huh? Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction my friends. How bout you guys try questioning the most difficult , incomprehensible thought that crossed your mind? Who or what really created Homo sapiens sapiens? Just because some aged old text tells you that a "god" created us doesn't mean we all are mandated to believe it. That is what i dislike about faith or blind faith as i call it. I'm expecting a lot of ridicule from you guys especially from people who were raised in a christian point of view. I wouldn't mind. Knowing that i was raised in a christian family whose very close relative is an archbishop, till i learned how to question things the right way, I know how Christians ridicule people who questions thoughts about divinity. I can't even call myself a Muslim since faith is something that i question ardently, but i got married in Islamic rituals. This is what i call the "WTF" moments. No matter how knowledgeable and advanced we are compared to people who lived hundreds of years ago, the truth is Humans are still primitive and violent. We're still are a very young specie. Anyway, to each his own guys.
