Sometimes, people are just silly. We all know that and sometimes that silliness comes int the public square and actually, for a minute, becomes news. Today’s silliness has to do woth the White House Press Secretary’s wearing of a Christian cross necklace during press conferences. What? Would their be a complaint if it were the Str of David? How about the Hammer of Thor? See how this sounds? Even an atheist (me) can see the idiocy of that.

I was going to pen something a little more serious concerning Zionism today, and I actually began a piece which I will eventually finish, but I’m in a different mood today and I really don’t want to boor you too much with serious blather.That doesn’t mean I won’t write something, like now where, as I was writing the other, I thought, How ridiculous is all of this? Well, it’s really ridiculous for someone like me, a non-believer and one that could give a flip whether the State of Israel exists or not. The question arises, in the last half century, in relation to the United States and the Middle East, what would be different without an Israeli state?

Who would’ve believed it?

If you’re wiling to dig into your specific belief system, and expose the bones, you might find out something really interesting or even challenging to your beliefs.

In case you’ve been visiting here and are unaware, I’m an atheist. Yes, I am one of those, although I’m unsure what anyone means when they refer to me that way. If you’ve perused my archives, you’ll see a lot of posts concerning atheism, many about that those of us that will say publicly that we are atheists (around 10% of the US population) are just like anyone else in that we have families, careers, and yes, friends. What some of us used to say was that we were just like you, we just believed in one fewer god that you. Cute, huh? It didn’t really make any friends and rarely was cause for much discussion with non-atheists, but hey, we tried. Personally, I was never evangelical concerning my non-belief. I never attempted to convince anyone else that my way was the right one and theirs, Christian, Muslim, Judaism, etc., was wrong.
