Missed it

Posted on May 11th, 2007

I had planned to celebrate the first anniversary of my blog. But I missed it.

Here’s what I blogged about over a year ago today. I never imagined I would keep it up for this long. Well done me.

Why I Am Not a Christian

Posted on May 11th, 2007

I started writing my very own “Why I am not a Christian” essay about 8 months ago. It is several pages long and, like so many things I start, not quite finished. On the off-chance that I never actually get around to finishing it, I’ll share a preview of why I do not believe in gods:

  • They are extremely unlikely
  • There is no evidence for them

One day I’ll finish my essay. So far it covers Mark’s wedding, Martin showing up late for Sunday morning ice skating, Mrs George’s prime five-legged ants, the optimum hand position for efficient prayer and the exact moment when I realized that even reincarnation was all made up by wishful humans. It’ll be good, I tell you.

You’re saying it wrong

Nice interview with Dawkins in The Times. Good line:

“I don’t think you and I disagree on anything very much but as a colleague of mine said, it’s just that you say it wrong.”
