Not at my table. That's just fucking redonkulous.
Believing that the world was created by some being with super powers, like a giant Harry Potter in the sky, is absolutely ridiculous.
If somebody were to honestly tell you that they believed in Zeus and Hera and all the Greek Gods, you'd laugh at them and say that they were crazy.
Why is it, then, that when somebody says that they believe in god (basically an amalgamation of the Greek Gods), they aren't laughed at either?
Science has shown that the Big Bang could have easily, and most logically, created the Universe, but, instead, people choose to think that there's some fucking wizard who just snapped his fingers and made something. People truly believe that the type of shit that happens on Bewitched is the way that the world was created.
....and yet atheists are the crazy ones?
Sorry, god is not Samantha Stevens.
