Dangerous? Moi?

[elfs]

A hearty "fuck you" to Ron Sims, our Democratic gubernatorial candidate, who last night during a debate, in answer to the question "Would you appoint an atheist to office?" said, "Anyone who does not hold a belief in a higher authority is a very dangerous person."

Sad. Politically expedient, but sad.

I no longer know how to characterize myself, since sincere prayer would seem to disqualify a person as an atheist. I also do not consider myself agnostic, as I have definite positions on whether God exists, which vary according to the definition of "God" and "exist" provided. My current position on the subject is that, for me, thinking in terms of God is an often-helpful stance rather than a factual claim.
