“When I say there is no God, it doesn’t offend people because of their religious beliefs. It offends…”

“When I say there is no God, it doesn’t offend people because of their religious beliefs. It offends them because I am saying that they are wrong about something. It’s an issue of personal ego, which is a more accurate term here than pride (although I’m certain many of them will disagree). I am asking people why they believe in supernatural myths that don’t have a shred of evidence as to their being supernatural. I am asking people to apply the same standards and measures of reasoning and logic to their religion as they would apply to any history book, police investigation, legislation or personal financial investment. I am asking people to abandon the comfort that comes with pack mentality – that desire to be associated with an accepted majority. This is understandably one of the most difficult things for people to do. I’ll end this by taking it one step further and saying that I think most people secretly know what I do about their religions, which suggests to me that atheism is really their dirty little secret, not ours.”

Showing their usual level of commitment to principle, they jump at the chance, forcing a 31-31 tie with no Lt. Gov. to cast the tie-breaking vote. State declares moral and functional bankruptcy.
