A pretty awesome article i just read and i thought i'd share.

The fact that the majority thinks they have a way to get something good does not give them the right to use force on the minority that don't want to pay for it. If you have to use a gun, I don't believe you really know jack. Democracy without respect for individual rights sucks. It's just ganging up against the weird kid, and I'm always the weird kid." |

We have some of the pieces of the puzzle and we'll get more, but I'm not going to use faith to fill in the gaps. I'm not going to believe things that TV hosts state without proof. I'll wait for real evidence and then I'll believe." |
That's kind of an odd description of atheism. and belief.8/17/2011 5:41:08 PM |

more self-aggrandizing BS spewing from Penn Jillette.
He does it well, for sure.
But for most people, Atheist Libertarianism is the WWJD bracelet of the 2010's. 8/17/2011 5:48:44 PM |

And that's not just you being your normal, contrarian self, right?

Is it? Atheism is the lack of a belief in God. There are many things that I don't believe in.
