Don't you think?

Monday bleary-eyed free-association follows.

There are a lot of people who think that, whatever it is that they're doing, god is on their side, and not their opponents'. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that's pretty much a common characteristic of theists, to self-justify into thinking that they are divinely justified. The fact that their opponents think exactly the same about themselves isn't relevant to that line of thinking. "My opponents may think the same thing," they say, "but I'm right, and they're wrong." Mayhem ensues, naturally.

Now, being a nontheist, I don't think that god is on my side.

However, the next thing I sort of habitually say when I start talking about these sorts of highly-questionable matters is, "Of course I could be wrong about that."

That leads to today's USRDA of irony, which is this: I could, in my nontheist refusal to claim that god is on my side, actually have god on my side.

That is all.
