It's tempting to think that being able to take the intellectual step of not believing gods exist, along with not believing in Santa, Easter bunnies, tooth fairies or honest Republicans, that we're rid of crackpot notions altogether. Ho ho. Sheer math works against us. The number of sound notions is finite. The number of crackpot notions is infinite.
Yes, that's true. I knew an atheist who thought Michelle Obama was really born a man and that the Sandy Hook massacre was a government hoax. Humans are human, I guess.
There is in the universe only one true divide, one real binary, life and death. Either you are living or you are not. Everything else is molten, malleable.
