Not collecting stamps
I was reading today’s post on Scott Adams blog, where he talks about the probable irrationality of atheists. Nothing new there. I was just amused to see SA quoting Kevin, albeit indirectly through me, I think:
Atheist: “Atheism is religion the same way that NOT collecting stamps is a hobby.”
Which I’m going to assume SA got from here:
someone said:
> you’re assuming that atheism is the “neutral” faith here. But is that not also a religious faith that we could possibly eliminate with science as well?
Like my friend says: atheism is a religion, like NOT-collecting stamps is a hobby.
It made someone’s quote of the week but it’s credited to anonymous. My friend is not anonymous!

I don’t claim credit for it. I think I got it from that article about santa-ists.
Nice theme! I need a new theme now :-(
