Maryam Namazie: The human face of atheism
Corageous woman.
He lives in an igloo at the north pole. He gives stuff away once a year to kids. His mode of transport is a sleigh. Santa is real because you believe he is real and the evidence that he is real is overwhelming. The advantage of believing is Santa rather than in Allah or Yahweh is that Santa won't ask his gnomes to murder you by slicing off your head or exploding themselves if you don't believe he is real. Neither are Santa's gnomes concerned with children's hymens. You don't need to believe Santa is real and you don't need to believe Allah or Yahweh is real. And if you don't believe either one of them is real then you can get on with your life. If you desperately need to believe in something supernatural then there are any number of imaginary things that will fill your gap... that won't harm you. I believe there is a gnome who lives in my garden and does my laundry when I am asleep. Some courageous women of Islam do not believe that Allah is real or that his imaginary sidekick Mohammed is a role model worth emulating. The men of Islam however, are stupid and cowardly and they follow Mohammed's example by murdering those who don't agree with them. They also abuse women because their prophet was a depraved misogynist and they abuse children because their prophet was a sick paedophile.
