30 Days of Stuff: Day 30
And so it ends.
I know technically it's the 1st of May, but come on. It's Friday night, and as far as I'm concerned that makes it still the 30th of April.
So here's my final entry in this meme, which has proven a lot more difficult to finish than I ever thought it would. Posting every day really is a hassle, even when you're not saying much. In the end I had to cheat outrageously to get it finished. Still, I was cheating from day 1 of this thing, so at least I started as I meant to go on...
Day 30 is, for one last time, "Whatever tickles your fancy".
Consider my fancy tickled.
I don't understand people who believe in the supernatural. A God, spirits, ghosts, anything that "can't be explained by science". And that's a bit odd, considering I used to believe in God. But now, the very idea seems so alien to me I have trouble thinking why I ever believed it, or why anyone else does. Are they all shockingly ignorant of the realities of the universe? Are they brainwashed? Or do they just believe what they want to believe?
Maybe all of these are true, to some extent. Or maybe I'm wrong. But, obviously, I don't think so. And I have what seem to me to be completely convincing reasons to believe it's a load of hogwash. I was going to detail them here, but it's far too big a subject for one livejournal post. Even covering it in brief, I'll need a minimum of three, I think.
So, this is an end and a beginning. (Didn't you always love it when novels had that cheesy sentiment at the end?) The end of my 30 Days of Stuff (hooray!) but the beginning of a new series of LJ posts, about Why I'm Atheist Scum And You Should Be Too. Once a day is a bit much, though. I'll settle for one a week, plus at least one other post each week. And that, World of El-Jay, is my new Pledge. Long may it polish my furniture.
