Hello everyone, I am Gunslinger and I am a DJ on WGMU radio, George Mason University's college radio station. Since this is my inaugural blog posting, I figured I would acquaint myself with my new audience by sharing a few things about myself. First of all, I'm an atheist. That is to say, I do not believe in any sort of higher power or spiritual force or any other superstition you can think of. In fact there are so many things I have found insufficient evidence to believe in I've provided a list of things I think are, for lack of a better term, B.S.
1. The Judeo-Christian God: Yahweh/Allah/Jesus/The Holy Ghost. Whatever you call him, I see no reason to believe he exists and I believe he is a work of fiction.
2. Ghosts. I know you've probably had some strange experience where you were certain you've seen the disembodied spirit of one of your loved ones. However convincing that experience that was for you, it is not convincing for me as I was not there and could not corroborate your story. There's always a more plausible explanation.
3. Magic. The laws of physics are immutable and cannot be circumvented by uttering some gibberish or wiggling your fingers or hoping really hard.
4. Creationism. This goes hand in hand with not believing in God, but I feel like it warranted its own entry. Its just as silly to be a creationist as it is to be a member of the flat earth society. Both require a staggering amount of obliviousness.
5. Nostradamus. Or any other fortune tellers for that matter. Nostradamus has never PREdicted anything. All of his supposed "predictions" of events that took place after his death have only been attriubted to his "foresight" after the fact. This is whats known as a POSTdiction. Or in other words Doo-Doo.
6. Miracles. See entry for Magic.
