So after I dealt with my little bank dilemma, I finish flipping through my email and come across an email from someone who assumed I was an atheist. A couple of things first off:
1. Gross generalizations are always stupid...
2. Don't assume. It's bad practice...
3. I have nothing against atheism. I am Unitarian Universalist. I firmly believe that each person is entitled to the pursuit of the spirituality that fits them best. I don't push my beliefs on other people and I expect the same respect from them. (Why do I set myself up for disappointment?!)
4. I am not atheist. I am probably about as far from atheist as you can get.
So, you ask, why has someone assumed I am atheist? Well, this is where the gross generalization comes in.
I think creationism is a crock of poorly written mythology.
This, evidently, makes me an atheist. Personally I feel that my belief in the Universe as a guiding force and my personification of Mother Earth and Father Sky really preclude me from being an atheist. And I'm going out on a limb here but I am pretty sure most, if not ALL atheists out there would agree with me on that!!!
So out of respect for all the REAL atheists out there let me state that I am not an atheist. Please do not think that any of my spiritual beliefs in any way represents the atheist community.
And lastly, despite not being an atheist, I do believe that creationism IS a crock of poorly written mythology. This doesn't make me an atheist. This make me logical!
