So, yesterday went something like this: work, work, write, blog, snack, work, mom, dinner, mom, sleep, then don\u2019t sleep, then get the fuck up and interweb. During my insomniacal interwebbing, I always end up clicking links that take me deeper and deeper into what I like to call, the Holy Web. This is the part of the web where every second post is devoted to a small man who lived in the Middle Eastern desert a bajillion years ago, and where atheists, like Mom, go to punish themselves.<\/p>\n

Why do you want to punish yourself\u00a0Godless Mom?<\/em><\/p>\n

I fucking don\u2019t, but when you see some of their asinine headlines, a heathen\u2019s gonna click.<\/p>\n

And last night, boobies and balls, I done clicked<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I clicked and discovered Mr.\u00a0Matthew Warner. \u00a0Matty Warner says that he thinks atheism requires more faith than religion.<\/p>\n

No need to adjust your\u00a0helmet, descre\u00eddos, you read that right. Atheism requires more faith than religion<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I realize that M-Dub\u2019s post\u00a0is old and that he stopped posting a long time ago, but this is, in fact, something that theists spew at me about a dozen times daily, and Matty, Matty Bo Batty said it about as well as any other believer who believes this, which is to say, not fucking well at all.<\/p>\n

When I come across a finely prepared meal on a table, it would be quite a leap of faith to believe that nothing put it there. And it would be far more reasonable to believe that something must have put it there.<\/p>\n

So, what Warner here has figured out, all by his insipid self, is that indeed finely prepared meals do not appear out of thin air\u2026 unless, perchance, you\u2019re illin\u2019 with Jee-town in the desert and you have a loaf or two.<\/p>\n

Then shit\u2019s about to get more gourmet than a flambe beignet by Gordon fucking Ramsay.<\/p>\n

GM aside: I\u2019m beginning to feel like a rap god, rap god<\/em><\/p>\n

The thing about supper time in Hell\u2019s Kitchen, though, is that we have witnessed the chefs prep, cook, and serve your dish. Even if, on this particular night, we did not witness it, and the waiter arrives with our amuse bouche before we spy a whisk, we know that the chefs in the kitchen prepared it. How do we know this without seeing it? Because there’s a pattern of having observed people prepare foods that we\u2019ve eaten our entire lives. Observable, demonstrable evidence is what that\u2019s called, and it appears Matt in the hat does not know a lot about that.<\/p>\n

\u2026something must have put it there. So it is with all of creation.<\/p>\n

Oh, for sure, M-to-the-dubya, it is definitely the exact same\u2026 except not at all. There is evidence for cooks. There is no evidence for God. See? See how duck confit and the entire universe are completely not alike at all?<\/p>\n

when we arrived, the meal had already been prepared. Did you see somebody prepare it? Do you have any scientific evidence to support your claim? No.<\/p>\n

What in the 8-ounce fuck, M-squad? Are you fucking serious? There\u2019s plenty of evidence to back up the claim that this magical rice pudding was prepared by someone. Every day we see people cooking. Turn to the food channel. Now turn to the channel that shows deities creating shit like it ain\u2019t no thang. Oh\u2026 that\u2019s right\u2026 there isn\u2019t one. Oddly, no deities answered the casting call for \u201cWatch Me Smite TV.\u201d<\/p>\n

Christian faith is not irrational<\/p>\n

Now hold your rosary right there, pew-sniffer\u2026 not irrational?<\/em> You got your bearded giant in the sky who\u2019s been there for all eternity, you have pregnancies without so much as an \u201cooo, baby!\u201d ghosts, talking snakes, habitable whales, and men who live near a millenium. Sounds perfectly fucking rational to me\u2026 if you\u2019re on shrooms.<\/p>\n

In Christianity, reason takes us far and then faith takes it from there. But they never contradict.<\/p>\n

And by \u201cnever contradict,\u201d you mean, of course, \u201calways contradict\u201d because if you had any reason at all, you\u2019d see that \u201cnever contradict\u201d lacks all reason and makes your entire sentence entirely unreasonable and<\/em> contradictory.<\/p>\n

relying only on the reasoning capacity of a small, limited brain makes for a small, limited world<\/p>\n

Quite the opposite, tons of fun. Reason has effectively expanded our universe since science began while faith, well, faith just kept the world the same damned bigoted, misogynistic size, hopefully hurtling toward the end times with glee and dim-minded threats of eternal damnation. All of existence was small in the Bible, smaller than a continent. Our understanding of the vastness that is out there did not come from your faith, it came from our reason.<\/p>\n

Good faith \u2013 a Christian faith \u2013 takes you truthfully beyond your reason. Bad faith is simply un-reasonable. Big difference.<\/p>\n

And I suppose you know, Matt, how to determine the difference between good faith and bad faith, then? Being as \u201cfaith\u201d is defined as belief that is not based on proof<\/em>, the only way to determine what faith is good and what faith is bad is via nothing but a fucking hunch, whittling your comment down to nothing more than, \u201cI am better than you because I believe this horseshit instead of that horseshit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well done, Matty. Ya dun gone and\u00a0twisted the same old line with arguments that amount to what\u2019s in my fucking bank account: sweet, fancy, fuck all. There is no faith in atheism. It is the rejection of a single claim. \u00a0Nothing more, nothing less. It leads to other isms, that is for sure, and other isms lead to it, no denying. But atheism itself is a faithless rejection of a claim, and no matter how many times you pucker up for your pope and recite the same old shit without mulling it about in your hat\u00a0rack, it\u2019s not going to change it.<\/p>\n

Facts simply do not require faith, and the fact is, there is no demonstrable evidence of a creator. If someday there was demonstrable evidence for a creator, believing in him would cease to be a matter of faith, Matt Attack, because it would be fact.<\/p>\n

Atheism is about what\u2019s real. Reality is all around us. That\u2019s why atheists have no\u00a0need for faith at all. We just open our eyes and see.<\/p>\n
