GG, as an aside, I was thinking the other day about this atheism deal.
While the jury is still out for me (I am still young), I realized some issues that may weigh heavily on the issue.
First off, atheists have no music. Now granted, religious music has never been my thing....as a matter of fact I get sick of Christmas music about 2 days after Thanksgiving (exceptions for John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, The Beachboys, and a few lesser talents. But overall, I can't take it). But...music is music, and even bad music is better than no music (sort of like sex).
Secondly, atheists have no vacations. An obvious perk of religions. I realize some holy days are somber and some joyous, but overall, vacations beat having no vacations.
Lastly...who do atheist women shout out to when they reach orgasm? I mean Gordy, say you are with a hot babe, she's coming, and she's shouting "Oh God!, Oh God!"...ok, this might or might not offend you, but chances are, it doesn't even register. It's part of the whole experience. But if she's an atheist, and has to use another name.....well how would you feel if she started moaning and worked it up to a crescendo of yelling "Oh Aphie!, Oh Aphie!!".....Gotta admit, you would rather hear "Oh God!" anytime (or am I wrong??)
Peace,
