Don’t forget to thank the local police for helping to provide an environment where you can keep both eyes on the food.

Of course, such flippancy damages our ability to enact the only actual project of atheism, the separation of church and state. But of course, the insult isn’t a sad byproduct, it’s the point, and the reason most American atheists are atheists. When atheists fall out of love with self-aggrandizement through ridiculing others, we may actually see a country more consonant with atheism. But, again, self-aggrandizement, not truth or righteousness, is the point, so that’s what remains.

I asked all of my kids to say a similar “prayer” at their Thanksgiving tables. So far only a handful have, and the universal response has been stone silence, confusion or parents/grandparents being upset because God wasn’t exclusively thanked.

I don’t get your Locke comment. Can you explain it?

I thought that in most cases food miles turned out to be relatively insignificant compared with local advantages in energy costs? The greenhouse costs more than the shipping?
