Since I only update during even years, (guilty cough) here I am updating. Been reading/watching/learning a lot about atheism lately and I'm a believer! Or rather, a non-believer.
Many of my friends are roleplayers/fantasy readers/speculative fiction aficionados. People who get intrigued with exploring other worlds, and I've been thinking about faiths in other worlds, particularly how weird it would be if there were one or more gods who, you know, existed. What if prayers were answered. We've all imagined worlds like that, right? Even something as simple as D&D forces you to examine how freakish it would be if the gods actually took sides.
And wouldn't atheism be an interesting choice in a world where there were gods who made a difference? It would require an active denial of reality. An ability to see the world and say, yes, but I have *faith* in my own beliefs; a faith which transcends logic and facts.
And then I make a coffee and I'm glad I live in the real world, where atheism is rational, because there are no sky wizards here.
