Birds of a Feather: Atheists and Fundamentalists

Last week there was parade of atheists in Washington. Whatever compels these folks to parade their disbelief in God is certainly an enigma.

But, for my poor understanding, a childish belief in a magical creator who intervenes at our beck and call is the flip side of the coin to the equally childish belief that humanity is somehow the result of a complex yet random process of dead particles bumping together.

The second so-called law of thermodynamics is a foolish hoax. If it were truly a law, you yourself, dear reader, would not be able to read this.
