Subject: RE: BS: Non-belief in a god is not a religion
Yer a product of 2000 years of Western cultural conditioning, Musket, just like the rest of us. That is why you yell "Jesus F-ing Christ!" when you hit yer thumb with a hammer and "Oh, God!" at other stressful moments, even though yer not a Christian. The Christian tradition has worked its way deep into yer psyche whether you like it or not, by way of language, literature, common symbols, and basic thought constructs, and there ain't a lot you can do about it except show up on all these threads and make fun of Christians for believin' in something you don't. Sort of like wanking, right? It's easy, you can do it every day when things are getting a bit slow, and you derive pleasure from it. They say that the keenest pleasure of all is to imagine yer smarter than most of the other people in yer vicinity.... (an almost universal assumption amongst humans...and Chimps too)

p.s. We all got similar habits. I pick on Bobertz all the time just because it's fun to do so. I like how he responds when he is poked. He does it right back to me. It's sorta what you could call a symbiotic relationship.
