Erm, whut?

16 June 2009  

Apparently this blog has been chosen (with 60 others) for an award: the “Holy Blasphemy BEST Atheist/Skeptic (sic) Site Award 2009″.

The donor of same doesn’t consider themselves an “Atheist” (sic) but does believe in astrology and the power of gemstones.

I wonder how they feel qualified to judge sceptical or atheist web sites when they say things like:

I like talking to myself in the dark; hey, if these things are comforting to me, it would be irrational not to do them simply because they aren’t proven to ‘be effective’ (if it works for me…it’s effective.)

*boggle*

I wonder what the author makes of anti-wimmin astrological Moon-rape.

Edit: I realised that I didn’t link back to the original post. Mea culpa.

    Sure sure, I have attachments to silly beliefs that I continue to accept because they're comforting and structure my life, while at the same time I recognize that they may not be true. Is this less wise and than refusing absolutely anything that may not be true (ie. can't be proven)? And while I recognize your point – you can't be arguing that only 'insiders' should have the right to judge: this means that, only Christians for example, have the right to say anything at all about Christianity; and if you aren't in the club, you should keep your mouth shut. That's just plain ridiculous.

There's probably no god.  Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.
