Religion and Government

Being an atheist and pretty much of a hardliner too, I consider ties between state and religion an immediate threat for human life and religious people curious entities, trapped in a mentally limiting, almost childish system of beliefs. It's probably due to global events in recent years, the violence, the lack of progress in certain institutions. And of course, there is a certain comfort in the rather carefree way, people like me can go about their lifes, free from irrational forms of guilt or discrimination.

In other words, get your head out of your high-and-mighty atheist ass

This kind of retort is probably as old as ancient greek philosophy and all it ever did was to emphasize the insurmountable rift between believers and non-believers. Big deal, I can live with that, I'll have to anyway.

So what exactly is you point (apart from getting for personal just for the heck of it) ?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yes and no.
If founding my moral code and decisions on personal experience and reason as opposed to superstition and hierachy doesen't make me any different from those people, then yes indeed there is no difference at all. And as I have stated before, I'm fine with that and quite happy with my perspective as it is.

How ya doing, buddy?
