Most people pick some cause or fight to join. For some progressives, it's the environment; for others it's helping the needy. Some conservatives fight against those causes, putting money before the environment and their own wealth before helping the needy. Some people just want to spread their own irrationality and superstition. I do my best to make sure other freethinkers and skeptics realize they are not alone.

I especially like it when I can make someone with doubts about religion and faith laugh at their own superstitions. Several times I've found that to be the start down the path of doubt. Laughing at the comedy routines of George Carlin and Bill Hicks helped to start me on the road to doubt.

I spent most of my late childhood and all of my teenage years thinking I was one of the very, very few who doubted Christianity. It wasn't until I was in college that I actually met another person that didn't believe in Jesus. It wasn't until I started blogging and reading blogs on MySpace that I realized there were many other people that had the same questions and doubts that I did.

Now I consider it MY FIGHT to mock Christians. If someone else hears or reads what I have done and they realize they are not alone, then I am fighting the good fight. I consider it MY FIGHT to show people how silly superstition really is. If I can get just one person to think about what they believe, then I am fighting the good fight. I consider it MY FIGHT to spread a love for REASON. If you start thinking for yourself, then I am fighting the good fight.

I will admit, I am not doing my best to help world peace or feed the starving children in Africa. I am not donating thousands of dollars to help some kids in Northeast Louisiana go to college. I'm not trying to save the dolphins or even all the dogs at the pound. That's not my fight. It's not that I don't care... I just have what I consider a higher priority. If I had unlimited time and unlimited funds, I would do my best to tackle those issues as well. But almost everyone fights for what they believe in... the battles they think need to be won.

To me, getting rid of religious superstition is the single most important thing I can do. Every little baby step helps. Every joke, every jibe I do... I tear down a little bit of religion. Every stab, every comment, every cut-down... I am destroying the hold of superstition on myself, other doubters and hopefully on the ignorant faithful.

I have a few other causes that interest me, but this is what I think is most important. For years I thought it was enough just to speak my mind and maybe get one or two people to think about what they believed, but seeing the impact that Randi, Dawkins, Hitchens and Harris have had... I realize that I need to do more.

My ultimate goal is that people will look back at the superstitious and religious today and laugh. Just like we look back at the silly beliefs of our ancestors that believed Thor caused thunder, I want our descendants to look back on us and think our beliefs in Jesus and Mohammad are silly. I want to do my best to make this happen as quickly as possible. I know it will take generations and that I'll never see it... which makes me sad... but every little bit that I do counts toward that goal.

Everybody has to believe in something. I believe I will do my best to destroy irrational beliefs.

Today, I have made a discovery that should probably not have been made...

I can get to MySpace from work.

Lately, I have been much more active on Facebook because I have been using it from work. MySpace was (I thought) locked down from work, but not any more...

For those of you that use both and are interested in befriending me over there, this is my profile:
Me on Facebook

And this is the "fan page" for the Agnostic Anarch:
Agnostic Anarch on Facebook

I don't really consider anyone a 'fan' of my Agnostic Anarch persona, per se... but if you like the humor and such that I sometimes share here, you should enjoy that there, too. Feel free to befriend my regular profile, too. For a while I was only befriending people that I actually knew, but once I made a few anti-theist jokes most of them fled. So now I know who my _real_ friends are!

I don't want to... but I need to sell my silver 2006 Honda Big Ruckus. Anyone in DFW, Texas looking to buy one? I owe about $3,000 on him, and he's got about 11k miles. Purchased and did all the maintenance at D&S Honda in Arlington, and I have all the paperwork. He's never been wrecked or laid down. I'm going to miss him, but I want him to go to a rider that will love him. Contact me if you're interested.

I put an album in my photos section of my Honda Big Ruckus. They were taken not long after I got'em, but nothing has changed 'cept the miles. Oh, and I got him new wheels about 2k miles ago.

For the love of god, people... use REASON! Faith is for retards.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you could go back in time to actually _see Jesus_?! Well, that is assuming he was a real historical person... which I doubt.

Here are the adventures of one such time traveller! Somebody had to go tell the people what all Jesus was getting wrong. . .

I've been more active on Facebook lately, so I must apologize for neglecting you guys... If you've linked to me there, you may have already seen some of the things I'm going to put up next. It's a cross-over! :P

Maybe you'd write a song that didn't suck!



Oh, wait. Christian 'rock' always sucks.

LOL!
