So You Think You Know Me

There are a lot of presumptions in this meme, and a lot more that were unsaid.

The whole thing, for instance, is based on the presumption that the guy in the little white collar knows what each and every Atheist is thinking or believes at all times. He believes that he is expert enough in doing so that he can tell US what we wish and believe.

He stands there in the picture, telling me that I WISH that his imagined god did not exist.

I beg to differ. I spend far too much of my time BEING AWESOME, to care to be bothered with such “wishful thinking” as to hope for OR AGAINST the existence of a hypothetical deity that I have never experienced in my lifetime. And from MY perspective, it’s Mr. Sheen HIMSELF that is thinking wishfully when he turns his eyes to the sky and prays for forgiveness, miracles, favors, a wonderful afterlife.

In fact, the only time that I actually spend pondering such things are the times when very religious people try to tell me what to believe or what I think or don’t believe and how that’s not good enough for their unproved, invisible, ever loving and forgiving sky daddy that’s going to punish me for it in some horrific, eternal after- life of fire and brimstone for my disbelief or “wish” that he didn’t exist.
