Thread: I don't believe in God, gods, or a god named God...

I have always considered myself a rationalist. As such I don't believe in deities. Nor do I believe in ghosts, angels, demons, horoscopes, UFOs, other dimensions, vortices, auras, tree spirits, buffalo mothers, transcendent beings, cryptids, esp, astral projection, parapsychology, telepathy, clairvoyance, fortune-telling, reincarnation, channeling, witchcraft, majick, or any other "unexplainable' phenomena. I believe there is a rational explanation for all of it -- even if we haven't quite come upon it yet. Is there something wrong with me?

I don't care to belong to any club that would have me as a member.

Fine. But you still have the respect the beliefs of others who do.

Why? That's like respecting someone's belief that watermelons are blue on the inside until their skins are punctured, or the beliefs of a modern flat-earther.

No I don't. I only have to respect their right to believe whatever nonsense they choose--but I don't have to respect the belief itself.

No. Have you found some rational explanation for everything yet? Let us know when you do.

I used to love blue watermelon slushies from the 7-11 on Bleecker Street in Lower Manhattan. Now "the man" says I can't even do that! Pffft.
