An update of sorts

My, it’s been long. I’ve found - as I always have, really, whenever in the past I’ve taken up keeping a journal or a blog – that long mental conversations with oneself eradicates much of the need for writing one’s thoughts and feelings. Or whatever. So, an update:

• If I were an American, I’d vote for Barack Obama (not a very big surprise)
• I hate Sarah Palin
• In fact I rather violently dislike fundamentalist religion
• I vehemently dislike – and scoff at – creationism and intelligent design, which means I believe in the fact of evolution
• I’m an atheist with a professed fondness and admiration for Professor Richard Dawkins (who’s far from arrogant, by the way)
• I really rather like the book The God Delusion
• I have NOTHING against most religious people, nor do I critisise them. I am not, however, overly fond of their beliefs
• Atheists most certainly do have morals
• If you’re wondering what I really think about Sarah Palin … I think she is a pro-life (and from me that’s an insult), anti-science, deluded, delusioned, irrational, creationist, eucaryot-cells-worth-more-than-living-life, terribly awful, moose-killing, rifle-fetished, fundamentalist Evangelical Christian arrogant arse. The same goes for many other people, like Ted Haggard, George W. Bush and others like them
• Evolution is not accidental
• “Life results from the non-random survival of randomly varying replicators” – Richard Dawkins
• I’ll be studying English literature next year
• There almost certainly is no God

And that, I believe, is it! =)
