I am such an atheist: I disbelieve in gods generally (and not just in one in particular), like I disbelieve in gnomes and dragons and other supernatural and paranormal things.
And the word does not mean anything more than that.
My a-theism means no more to me than my a-gnomism.
The problem comes when one tries to convert lower-case atheism to upper-case Atheism, with the implications of its own belief system.
On a bit of a #Discworld movies tip at the moment.
Watched The Amazing Maurice last weekend (which was fine, not amazing), Going Postal last night (thoroughly enjoyable, heartily recommend), and The Colour of Magic tonight (ten minutes in, have no opinion yet).
:mtag: The Drum is filled with 1,000 Elephants - which means the top domains have now been reset avatar-wise. The queues are filling up to restore them; but as stated this can take up to a week (the system spreads it out to not swamp servers). Please be patient!
Feeling weirdly caught between chill and melancholy this evening.
The couple of days spent helping my MiL weren’t anywhere near as arduous as I feared they’d be, and while the drive up there yesterday was crappy (3 hours for a <2 hour journey), the drive back today was nice.
Drunk a couple of beers, watched some TV, mooched about online.
Bed time now, with a lay in tomorrow, and not a huge amount to do. Looking forward to it.
Do you want to know what my most popular post is over there? Is it a short story? A cool ant facts rundown? Is it some political issue thing?
No-- it's a "note to self" I posted about the world-building in my "Planet Myrmecos" series outlining how "Traditional Ant Names" work in the story. (super personal and obscure) People are over there giving each other ant names now like a colony and it's been going on for days. Don't understand... but, I'll take it.
