Currently reading Dawkins's inspirational book "The God Delusion." Why is it inspirational? It's great to see in print a well-articulated argument/discussion that is based on reason and rational thought about such an emotionally charged topic. In fact, he asks the obvious question of why it's nearly a social stigma to voice a choice of atheism -- why isn't it ok to raise the opinion of disagreement with the thought of a supernatural, mystical being that is responsible for all things? The fact that there is no proof one way or the other does not preclude this particular discussion from the scientific review of "probability."
It's leading me to some personal version of passionate atheism. I have no desire to attack the belief of others, but it's certainly acceptable to question and speak freely.
Flying Spaghetti Monster, indeed.
