Breaking away or Joining in?

It’s been knocking around in my head for a couple of years now,  and, in all honesty,  I’ve decided realised that deep down, I decided some time ago that I’m an atheist!

 It seems I can’t let one thought about religion or God waft around my mind without catching it in a butterfly net and pulling off its wings to see if there’s anything inside it that I can’t squish into goo.

Turns out that if you squish hard enough, it all does.

Only thing is – do I see myself as breaking away from a group, or joining another? Or neither? Or both?

This is more confusing than being agnostic..

Sexist Microwaves

I have spent almost the entirety of today reading about the ‘great sexist conspiracy of the development of the microwave’.

It is part of one of my modules looking at the ‘History and Philosophy of Science’. Module’s name is ‘Technology in the Modern World’. And today’s topic has been the issue of gender in the context of Technological progress. 

• This has involved reading the writings of deranged women who believe that everything to do with the microwave – from purpose to distribution to use to domestic change it brings about – is deliberately conceived in a way that represses women and benefits men.

• It is  
  • a) Fucking ridiculous
  • b) Stupid 
  • c) Only partly based on fact 
  • d) Hilarious  
  
  
  
  
• But the weird thing is that I have loved it. 

• I loved sitting there taking it all in.  

• Don’t think many other people I know would.  

• Good? Bad? Weird?  

• I’m not sure but I think it means I’m different. 
• And that’s never Ever completely a bad thing 🙂
