I wanted to announce it here first, to all my close friends on RF. And the rest of you.
After a couple of years of not really looking, and making half-assed posts for my own amusement, mostly, God has tapped me on the shoulder. Not the Abrahamaic one, since he'd see me as a lost cause my now, no doubt. Nor the Panentheistic one, since I have referred to him as the glitter on an atheist turd a little too often to get much love. Not even the Deist God, since he appears pretty uninterested...ahem...
Nope, I've decided to worship at the altar of ignorance. Or perhaps I should say Ignorance. And I've decided she's a girl, since I feel more comfortable kneeling before a woman. Call it my latent homophobia or something...ahem..
So, why am I worshipping her?
Firstly, and clearly, she is omnipresent. I doubt any would disagree with me on this point. Score one for Ignorance.
Second, whilst I don't see her as omnipotent, it's pretty clear she can handle herself in a smackdown. She sure as heck has Rationality running for cover.
Third, although she is not omnibenevolent, I'm all about equality these days, and she seems as likely to touch a theist as an atheist with the Ignorant Stick. A female as a male. Straight/gay. Heck, even us Aussies are prone to bouts of inane mumblings at her altar.
But I know the path, my friends. For Ignorance is not a vengeful God. She seeks to help us. All we must do is acknowledge her. Embrace her. For it is said that he who denies Ignorance is truly deulded, and a bit of a wanker.
