I just read an article that is so profound, so full of wisdom, so insightful, that it changed the way I look at the world. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going to have to alter my entire belief system and way of life, but I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m looking forward to that. Before continuing, please read this remarkable article: Nobel Prize to Deny God? Yep.<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve learned so<\/em> much from this.<\/p>\n

I learned that the Nobel Prize isn’t a real thing. Why else would they put it in quotes?<\/p>\n

I’d always been under the mistaken impression that the motives for trying to better understand the universe were to improve our lives, and to satisfy simple human curiosity. I never suspected it the real motivation was to deny God. Good to know.<\/p>\n

I discovered that the word “billion” is spelled with a “B,” and although ten billion dollars is a fraction of a percent of what godders spend erecting shrines to their various sky daddies, spending it to build a “Particle Collider” is a waste of money. And, considering the quote marks, I was surprised to learn the particle collider isn’t a real thing either.<\/p>\n

I’ll admit that I have only a vague understanding of particle physics. I thought the Higgs was being sought to explain why some particles that shouldn’t have mass, do. \u00c2\u00a0But this article taught me it is the particle from which all other particles sprung, via the process of spontaneous combustion. \u00c2\u00a0I feel so<\/em> much smarter now.<\/p>\n

I learned that the press is Marxist. I knew the most of the mass media leans to the left, and some slant in that direction more than others, but Marxist? Wow, that’s a revelation.<\/p>\n

I discovered that if we find water on Mars, that will prove humans lived there.<\/em> So Ray Bradbury wasn’t an author of fiction, he was a historian. Sweet!<\/p>\n

I was unaware that the primary purpose of space exploration is to deny the existence of god. I had foolishly believed that the question of God has never been part of space exploration, or any other scientific endeavor. Now I know I was mistaken.<\/p>\n

So thank you, Christian Coalition, for Smartenizing me. I have been an atheist for most of my adult life, but your brilliant arguments and insights have changed my mind completely.<\/p>\n

I am now off to dedicate my life to Jesus. Hallelujah!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
