I've been blogging for a few years now, and I have noticed that the dates between my posts are starting to lengthen. I'm at a stage right now where I've basically stated all the points that make me a solid atheist, over and over on this blog. More importantly, I'm noticing that the secular cause is winning big time throughout the West (the West that matters anyway: Canada and the USA). There is almost little need to push for the secular cause (total separation of church and state), because the courts get it, and even the governments are getting it.
Sure, there are still isolated situations that need to be ironed out or corrected, like certain hick state school boards that still try to get fantasy taught in schools. But for the most part, I think the population is grudgingly accepting the difference between faith and fact.
Back to my blogging. Yeah, I can still write about these isolated situations, but they don't infuriate me like they used to, because, as stated above, they are coming close to extinction because common sense is prevailing. From prayer in government to creation being taught in secular schools to the issue of gay marriage, whacked out religious influence is slowly leaving with its tail tucked between its legs.
I can still write about the fact that there is absolutely no contemporary evidence that Jesus lived or the Exodus happened. But how many times do I need to do it? I'm still open to evidence, but I'll tell you, the Exodus for sure isn't looking probable at all. There is a lot of evidence that make it impossible. From my standpoint right now, it is almost as improbable as the farcical Ark story. As for Jesus, I guess there could have been a Jesus, or even 9 or 10 Jesus', but the lack of evidence makes me conclude that the Jesus that we read about was at best an invention of Paul (a dream God) who morphed into a real person over a few decades shortly thereafter.
In fact, the beginnings or roots of all religions are based on unreal, unverifiable stories and myths, which is really the only way to go, if any religion has a chance to be followed by the masses.
I guess I can still go after the multiple writers, and now Youtubers, who try to prove God or try to make the idiotic case that atheism is a "faulty world view." But has become somewhat boring. I have found that I have become automated in my rebuttals because there isn't an argument I haven't heard over and over, and the arguments are too easily destroyed by now.
I can also give pats on the back to atheists who make profound statements, but again, I've seen all the arguments for atheism, and I get it, and there isn't much to learn, except maybe new evidences about specific cultures or biological discoveries into our psyche that make us prone to believe in the supernatural. But philosophical arguments for atheism just make me yawn now.
Scientific discoveries in evolution have always been a favorite of mine to blog about, but I just don't have enough of a scientific background to feel comfortable focusing on them.
I get back into the swing of things and blog against the biggest threat to mankind today: Islam (yeah yeah yeah, "radical Islam," whatever.). But lots of blogs specialize in that already.
I still my forte is mocking religion and beliefs, and to enjoy those who mock religion and beliefs. My blog has always been on the edge when it comes to that already, so probably that is route I will go from here.
To me, the purpose of life (mine anyway) is to laugh as much as I can before I croak.
