About Me
- The Atheist Missionary
- I am a Canadian father, lawyer, columnist, skeptic and humanist interested in furthering a critical analysis of religious belief systems. The name "Atheist Missionary" is a sarcastic jab at religious fundamentalists. Atheists don't proselytize and are unified only by their freethinking nonbelief in the existence of a supernatural deity. In my preferred reality, philosophers would be treated like rock stars.

His faith must be such a comfort to him.
ReplyDeleteThis story would have been so much more ironic if he was the man with no brain.
