Pope? Meh.

I have no opinion on the Pope's visit, I'm genuinely indifferent (hence the 'meh'), I wish people would stop brining up the cost though, it isn't important. Grr. It's a nice place to be, this indifference island. I was going to discuss why I don't care, but it's been done much better over at Enemies of Reason.

However, a couple of things anyway, as I always like a good(ish) write.

I don't like saying I'm an Atheist, but I don't believe in God. I don't really understand it either, but basically I get scared of calling myself an Atheist in case people lump me in with the religion-haters. I am certainly not a religion-hater. I also dislike Dawkins's whole 'religion is awful and it's corrupting our children and soon creationism will be taught in schools rather than evolution and the world is going to crumble if we don't bow down to the superior power of the Atheists' blah, shit. I have no problem with the man, I just think that he's become a big of a figurehead for Atheism and I don't agree with everything he says, so I don't really want to be part of his 'club'. Other than all of those issues, I'm probably an Atheist...maybe. I'm possibly an Agnostic, as I like the idea of something, not necessary a God. I like the idea of a presence, but something entirely subjective.

In general, religion can be nice and it can also be horrible. Like most things :)

(This post had a lot of "I"s in it. Sorry for that. I won't be so self-obsessed next time...)
