Why is it that people assume an atheist has no ability to be held captivated in awe by the beauty ,wonder and mystery of the world? I could not even begin to string words together to express how utterly utterly false this is.
In fact it is this very same sense of awe that inspires me to strive to learn more about the world, rather than accepting the traditional recieved wisdom in the form of a two thousand year old book.
You're right, there is something more amazing and powerful out there than us. And it sure as hell isn't in our image.
