Admitting ego.

I added a blog subtitle "One atheist's battle to unravel the most destructive viral idea ever to evolve". Hopefully it sums up what this is all about and adds a little more personality to the title.

I need to admit this is egotistical and stop detaching myself from posts. Later I plan on writing of my experiences growing up as a christian and gradually developing resistance to faith. There will be no hiding then!

  1. "Hopefully it sums up what this is all about and adds a little more personality to the title."

    Yup, that it does. Love the logo of the unravelling cross as it exposes the readily recognizable double helix of DNA as a symbol of science and how the cross (faith, religion) crumbles before it. At least that's My take on it.

  2. When I made it I was thinking that we evolved religious tendencies, and religious ideas themselves are a product of natural selection, and understanding our genetics and natural selection is one way to rid ourselves of religion. It all ties so amazingly together like that, so I tried to sum it up in a logo. Glad to see you have a slightly different take on it. Thanks!

  3. Ahh, yes, I understand how you originally meant it. Since my take on it was a bit different, I'm wondering how others might interpret it - could be quite interesting indeed to see the range of "takes" on it. Thanks for the reply!

  4. Ok, I'll take the bait. Here's my take on it - using your byline as inspiration, I saw the logo as representing the human body and the cross as representing a virus that can infect it (ie. like a cancer). Your implied goal, then, is to rid the body of this cancerous thing.

    I had other thoughts but that's one I can offer up. :)

  5. but surely faith is egotism.

    Explanation: soul = consciousness = ego. Religious people cannot accept that their ego (soul) will end when they die, So they invent/accept the idea of an afterlife, from which it is short hop skip and jump to their being a deity. Which is even nicer for the egotist (religious person).
