I am an a-theist not a theist
because I am a humanist
not an a-humanist.
I am an a-theist not a theist

religious
antiseptic.
It needs widely
applying all

Religion
is not just the
following of
imaginary
beings but the
following of
people who are
following the
people who claim
to know what an
imaginary
being will want.
Being told
there is an
invisible
being who
wants all your
money by
a man who
claims he has
been chosen
to guard all
that money.

checkout proudly
said “new winners
every day”,
which is a much
better deal than

the Life checkout.
I am as
certain of the
non-existence
of a god
as I am of the
non-existence
of mermaids,
werewolves,
goblins,
yowies,
easter bunnies,
pixies,
bunyips,
jack frost,
unicorns,
yetis,
tooth fairies,
minotaur,
leprechauns,
father xmas,
nessie,
gorgons,
poltergeists,
dragons,
aliens,
and ghosts.
Worth
remembering
in these
frightening
times – all
imaginary
friends are
equally
imaginary.
If the
answer
is prayer
you are
asking the
wrong
question.

Robots is a
