Donald Trump is the botanical equivalent of the ancient maple that grows in front of my home. Ostensibly, it is well, healthy, vibrant. But one only needs to look down from above to see it that it is hollow and completely rotten on the interior. In fact, it is dying from within.
Atheism is relative, meaning, as Ricky Gervais points out, we are all atheists relative to some 3,000 religions that have existed over time. Nowadays in America, disbelief in the bible constitutes atheism. In that respect, I am a hard core atheist. However, when the aperture is expanded to include all systems of faith-based belief, unsupported by empirical facts on the ground, I am not. Belief in a human-esque God seems to be the reference point for Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Nonsense.
