Tis the Season

The atheists who had this sign posted in the capitol building in Olympia, Washington next to the nativity display are going to hate hell.

The discourse of “Reason” or “Rationality” is also myth and a superstition that is an outgrowth of the Enlightenment.  It is just as easy to indict the cult of reason for hardened hearts and enslaved minds.  However, it is difficult to find prominent examples where those who religiously adhere to the cult of reason have mobilised to become active participants of “good.”  For example, you don’t see volunteers driving trucks from the cult of reason to bring relief supplies to those who are victims of natural disasters.  They are too busy trying to figure out how humans caused the natural disaster.  In fact, the ego-centric Cartesian brand of rationalism that is the foundation of modern atheism, has led to the myth and superstition that the self can be elevated at the expense of the other.  The mythical narratives and superstitions of rationalism have led to violence and suffering in ways that make the crimes arising from religious zealotry look tepid.  Hey atheism, you’ve got something in your eye.  You might want to get that checked.  It looks like a beam or something.

Perhaps the most disturbing thing about the atheist’s monumental sign is the dismal lack of creativity or symbolism behind it.  I propose that everyone who reads my blog come up with a symbolic display that can better reflect the spirit of atheism and their holy reverance toward the winter solstice and reason, so that they don’t have to be stuck with a boring placard.  I will start.  How about a picture like the one below with a lighthearted holiday message:

May Reason Prevail! Happy Winter Solstice, from the the same school of thought that brought you nuclear weapons
