The other day I had a profound thought. I was coming out of the shower and thought to myself, \u201cmaybe Christianity is true.\u201d Then I started laughing out loud. My profound thought was that I am moving beyond atheism. It isn\u2019t just that I lack the belief in a god, now I lack the ability to take such a ridiculous concept seriously at all.<\/p>\n

To me, Christianity is no more plausible than any other fanciful work of fiction written by people who don\u2019t understand the world. I find myself no longer able to take Christian arguments seriously and the more they try to suck me into their world, the more I find myself taking a step back and laughing.<\/p>\n

How can I argue, debate, or discuss anything with someone who believes that an ancient fictional book series is real. It is like arguing with someone who takes the Greek myths to be true. I can no longer see the difference between a Jesus believer and a Hercules believer except that at least the stories of Hercules were far more entertaining.<\/p>\n

But there isn\u2019t a word to describe this view. Even anti-theist seems poor and inadequate. Maybe it is time for a new word. How about ridicutheist? Someone who holds that theism is completely ridiculous. I don\u2019t know if I like that term or not. Any suggestions?
