I've been trying to learn the first sixty digits of pi recently, along with all sixty-six books of the Bible. Did you know there were sixty-six books of the bible?
Now, don't get me wrong, I am in no way a Christian, or any kind of theist. I believe that the idea of God is illogical and cowardly. If that offends you, then good, because it means you're not so far gone that a small part of you can't see the truth in that statement. It's the fundamentalists who say 'Well, God believes in you!' and then smile stupidly that are really scary, because they've shut themselves down to thought.
So why, you ask, am I learning all the books of the Bible if I don't believe in it? Well, it's mainly so that I can argue better with Christians, whilst trying to convince them that they've made the wrong choice. It's really difficult to make a convincing argument if you don't know the facts.
Some would ask me if it's really my place to go around offering Christians 'red pills'. But if I see someone living their life by a set of arbritrary rules laid down thousands of years ago by archaic patriarchal societies and fooling themselves that there's a 'better life' ahead when they should be making the most of this one, is it not my responsibility to do what I can to shake them out of their madness?
That last question is rhetorical, because the answer is 'yes'.
