Thought of the Day

An atheist is in a much better position theologically than an agnostic. Atheists inherently (subconsciously) know what it is to have faith in something. They share this trait with Christians and believers of other seemingly "blind faith" systems. Whether or not they admit it, an atheist relies on as much faith to hold onto his belief as a Christian does. A lack of evidence is not evidence of a lack. Thus, anyone who says that atheism is the obvious position given materialism's evidence for no god (or lack of evidence for a god) is arrogantly incorrect. They have faith that there is no god. Why then do the universal doubters, the agnostics, suffer a worse position than those who have faith that there is no god?

Simple, a lack of faith. They are always looking for evidence that suggests one system or the other, but they will always come up short because for the most part there is no tangible evidence to sway them. An atheist, however, has already put his faith in something so eventually that faith may take a different form and correct itself by embracing the contrary faith system, belief in God. Atheists are practiced believers so it may not take as much to change which system of faith it is that they believe in. Agnostics, however, have no foundation of faith on which to pivot.

I think was probably written more eloquently by someone else, but I can't remember who or where.

Dear God

I just submitted my thesis for a format check (not a big deal at all) and I'm so freakin' nervous -- I can't imagine what the actual defense is going to do to me!

:P

So close, yet so far away from my MS degree!

I'm Excited

I'm a fan of M. Night Shyamalan. I am still a fan even after the backlash against him post-release of Unbreakable (which I loved).

Here's the trailer for his newest venture:

The Village

Awesome.
