Happened to find http://disbeliefnet.com/ while browsing some trailers on the apple site...
It seems to be full of irreverence without any intense emotions.... Now the reason behind the title - The "higher" being, is in my mind actually more useful only when one can use it sell it's "support" to the consumers... end result "Peace of mind" and "sense of invincibility - Cause the big guy is with ME!" .... on hire :)
Recently when I chanced upon a news article which talked about "Acedemic not believing in the higher power", as always, I used it to finger some belivers and got the obvious defensive reactions! I have done this for a long long time, show disrespect to non existent powers, (only in front of my friends during late teens and early 20's...). As I started understanding the reasoning and the reality behind the Godism as I was growing up, I was also perplexed by other NOT following the same thought process. Especialy surprising were the brilliant guys who used to score better grades, were doing their highr studies in Science and obviously deeply rooted in unsubstantiated beliefs and rituals!!! Few years down the line I realized even though people develop their "job skills", rarely do they apply the rational thinking to the "belief systems", partly becasue of the need for the crutches that they are so used to?
And the point is???? I don't finger those poor souls that much any more! Ain't I evolving!
