Here is an interesting article from Effect Measure (a scienceblogs.com writer who concentrates on public health). The article is mainly a discussion about the Pope’s recent speech. He obviously upset lots of the Muslim world, but also had a go at the atheists. Of course the pope is infallible so apparently I am an atheist because I am afraid of god:

“Only this can free us from being afraid of God — which is ultimately at the root of modern atheism,” -The Pope

hmmm, I feel much better now knowing that the reason I don’t believe in god is because I am afraid of something I don’t believe in.

Oh, and just because I am currently writing an assignment and need an excuse to procrastinate, here is a quote from one of the comments:

“This is all just naked tribalism of the worst sort. If a human being had a condition that made one part of its body kill another part because it was a different tissue, we’d treat it like a disease.

Organized religion is a disease”
