I’m not the only one! I welcome your thoughts and comments on this essay written by Penn Jillette.
That said, I suppose I should mention that I have no problem with a sense of community, a need for people to belong. I really don’t even have an issue if you’ve never sat down and thought about why you believe what you believe. If you have a void of the unknown that needs to be filled with something, that’s all well and good. More power to you. You can believe in your god, that’s all well and good. But why are you angry and upset that I don’t?
I don’t believe in the tooth fairy, either, but I don’t see people getting their panties in a knot over that issue! What’s the difference? For every logical, rational argument that you can present for the existence of your god, I can use the same EXACT justification for the existence of the tooth fairy.
I hate the word “panties”.
