An Atheist’s Teeth
I am an atheist and I have teeth. And here I am talking about the figurative kind. What do I sink my teeth into? Anything I view as nonsense. Any regular reader of this blog knows that my favorite target is weak and/or outright bogus science. Another favorite target is religion. Why? Because I view it as a completely bogus “way of knowing.”
Otherwise, my teeth stay in my mouth. So to speak. I have loving relationships, am a productive, charitable member of society, etc. Sure, atheists have teeth, but so does everyone. We are not significantly different from the rest of society in that regard.
But yes, in terms of our view of religion, why tend to NOT grant it special treatment. For a whole, heaping helping of no-special-treatment, I recommend checking out the 124th edition of the Carnival of the Godless.
