Go say hello to A Million Gods

Yowza, Avicenna has joined FtB. In case you weren’t already following him, he’s a godless British Indian medical student, so we get the combination of a science-based perspective and outrage at the absurdity of religious propositions. Go forth and read!

Yowza!?

Avicenna? Wasn’t that an early Islamic / ~~Arab~~ Persian astronomer? (Plus more apparently.)

(Checks wikipedia – yup :

Also a lunar crater :

Albeit a Farside one.)

Cheers PZ, I’ll check it out.

If you have read Pratchett’s “Small Gods” you will know there are *much more* than a million gods, but they need a critical infusion of faith to take off.
