The A/Theism Triangle


The divide between atheists and theists, is most likely shaped like a triangle. The huge looming difference at the bottom being that one side believes in a deity, the other side doesn't. This of course, is the definition of the words, and these definitions, clearly demonstrate the diametric opposition found in this great debate. The base of the triangle is the difference, and is connected to the sides because arguments often ensue (as well as friendship, I positively add). The tip of the triangle is the common factor, because, unbelievably perhaps, there is indeed a common factor. Humanity. We are all human beings. Scuttling, prancing, little, but ever so wonderful human beings. 

If you’re wondering why I chose red, it’s because red is the symbol of passion, love, anger, romance, blood, evil, guilt, sin, courage, sacrifice, danger, loyalty, courage, sex, heroism… Or maybe I just like the colour red, you decide.

The Importance of Being Caitlin

I do suppose an introduction is in order. Introductions are not my forte, yet one always finds that for some reason, people want to know who you are. 

I shall begin with the bland and mundane. I'm actually a time traveller who quizzes around in a blue box exclaiming that, "Bow ties are cool!" Alas, this is a lie but it does link to my avid love of Doctor Who. So, for future reference, I apologise for my Whovian ways. 

I'm 17 (nearly 18, I'll have you know Bob Dylan and Queen Victoria decided to be born on the same day as me). I identify as a Christian, mainly for the lack of a better word. I dabble in deism, enjoy existentialism and... Think of a good adjective beginning with "U" and insert it in front of "Universalism". Thank you. 

I studied the IB but that's nearly done now. I hope to become an archaeologist.  If you want to know what my hairstyle is, look up Neil Oliver. I'm claiming he copied me. I like reading, history and cake. This isn't a date advert by the way. 

The name of my blog may be of interest, or, it's just as inane as this blog. Take your pick. 

Firstly, I went for the aesthetics. I like the word "heresy". (I also like the word "perpendicular"). 

Secondly, it's sensational. Shocking. Or perhaps not, I just really like the word "heresy." 

Thirdly, other good names for similar blogs are taken and on a cheerful, rainy Tuesday, my brain dug deep into the chasms of my warped world, and decided it would do. 

Fourthly, I hope it will attract people with similar views. Ultimately, I want to learn about other people's views but also, to know whether I'm wrong. Well, as if that will happen. I'm perfect.
