May 6: Picking Cherries

Clear thinking
Something christians are very, very good at.

When I was a young man, I was given a bible by my Mum. I read quite a lot of it and was astonished at the blood-thirsty contents. Yet, when I went to church, the many horrific bits were never read or discussed. I suspect nothing has changed since then:

Apparently this respectful letter to a christian cherry-picker was penned in the year 2000. Regardless, it was very well put by Professor James Kauffman and worth an encore. It is quite astonishing that christians will promote their book as the source of inspiration, obviously they don't read it, because it is morally corrupt.

I wonder if he has received a response yet from the cherry-picking Dr. Laura Schlessinger, an American talk show host?

Above us only sky...

The glory of the 'heavens' above us are real, their starry splendour is visible to those who look up; but the glory of 'Heaven' is a sad delusion of human minds.
This is the personal blog site of an atheist astronomer.

Wise words

"We seem to crave privilege, merited not by our works, but by our birth; by the mere fact that, say, we’re humans, and born on Earth. We might call it the anthropocentric, the human centred conceit. This conceit is brought close to culmination in the notion that we are created in God’s image. The creator and ruler of the entire universe looks just like me. My! What a coincidence! How convenient and satisfying!"
Carl Sagan
