Bitter Bitch

Ok, this was never meant to be a pity party. Just an exploration of my experiences and de-fragmenting of why I cannot call myself a Christian. But I am tending to sound like a bitter bitch. Maybe I need to get some of the bitter bitch out before I can move on to the educated reasons why I no longer ascribe to a religion.

Lets try something a little lighter and perhaps less personal.

Science.

Needless to say, as a sceptic, I adore science. I love that there is so much that we don't know yet, but are learning at an incredible rate. I love watching Public Television and learning about research of diseases, of animals, in technology and and especially gene research. Genes are fascinating. Perhaps almost as fascinating as studying human behavior. Guess what wonderful author pairs the two? Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion, The Selfish Gene). At the time that I read these books I was such a sceptic that I not only thought that the teachings of the church were bullshit, but also that atheism was bullshit. Dawkins writes wonderfully and speaks eloquently about how belief in god may be a delusion resulting from evolution.
