A cartoonist’s view on atheism

I am sure you all are familiar with the comic artist Dan Piraro. At his blog he regularly posts one of his strips with commentary. Today’s entry along with this week’s discussion of Philip Davies’ essay was worthing of sharing. (NB: The links in the text are Piraro’s.)

Polyunsaturatedtheist: one who believes that god speaks to us through nutrition labels.
