It’s time for someone to say it, just in case anyone is unsure. Charlie Kirk is dead. There. I said it. It’s horrible what happened to him and hopefully, his murderer will see justice. The reason I’m saying this now is from shear exhaustion from seeing all of the posts abut him or his widow. I don’t care about what Erika is doing or might do and I’m vertain that Charlie is not looking down on us from heaven.

I almost never debate Christians about their faith or my lack thereof. Why? It’s because when I ask for objective proof of what they say, I receive the same old evidence: The Bible Tells Me So. Of course, some use other sources, but those sources they quote are mostly apologists, people paid to reconcile faith with fact (poorly) and for those that need to justify their faith. Other sources they use, to their benefit are scientific: archeology mainly, but then, non one is arguing that Babylon didn’t exist, or that Nazareth didn’t exist. what we’re discussing is the idea of a god, and in particular, Jesus.

Once in a while, I like to take a look at the state of religious belief where I live, the United States. I don’t really think it changes much overall, but it’s always been curious to me how we who live here identify as a Judeo-Christian nation when that couldn’t be further from the truth. If we could be identified with any belief, it would be a Christian nation because out of the 350 million people that live here, some 66% identify as Christian. That’s 231 million Christians. More than any other country in the world.

The more thing change, the more they stay the same. I wonder who said that first? Okay, I looked it up and it appears to be some French guy back in 1856. For some reason, I’ve always known that quote but never knew who used it first. Now that I do, I’ll end up dying with more useless information stuck in my brain. What brought that to mind was thinking about the current state of atheism and where it stands today compared to where it was say, fifteen or so years ago. Back then, I began using the Internet for more than just making orders from Amazon and emailing friends and family. I actually found a lot of people that were atheists and well, some of them even had blogs!
