Sunday

It is Sunday, and I am making ramen for lunch and writing an essay on the co-dependence of Faith and Reason.

Here, have a video of Alain de Botton, an atheist, explaining what atheists should glean from religion:


You know, Neil deGrasse Tyson had an interesting point when he said,
"It is weird that the word "atheist" even exists. I don't play golf. Is there a word for non-golf-players? Do non-golf-players gather and strategize? Do non-skiers have a word, and come together, and talk about the fact that they don't ski?" 
I think his point was that there should not be a word, but all I can see is that being against religion is fundamentally strange. There are simply voids and questions that are not just untouched by science, but not meant for science in the first place.
