Unprovable Stories Janet Kuypers 6/6/19, written on Atheist Pride Day All your life, your mind has ben cluttered when the world taught you impossible things — as a child, as you grew, you grew to learn the tricks adults would use to change you: you know that no, there is no tooth fairy, and no, there is no Santa Claus. But the wool has been pulled over so many adult’s eyes for millennia, and only once you use the clarity of the thinking mind do you truly feel at peace. Don’t be afraid of a fantastical god, just follow the evidence and believe that you are the one with the true power. Because... belief is an amazing thing, and once you’ve realized you can believe in logic and rationality, and not the unprovable stories no rational mind could ever believe, that is when clarity lets you finally breathe a solemn sigh of relief.
