Here's the personal Weblog (or Blawg) of Mackenzie Williams, a recent law school graduate.
It should go without saying, but keep in mind that the blog is only about me and my life. I do not blog about work, other than vague descriptions like "busy."
It should go without saying, but any opinion here is only my own and should not be attributed to anyone else on the planet (and sometimes not even to me--I like to play devil's advocate).
Well, the heavens aren't necessarily spiritual in nature, particularly in the plural (as opposed to Heaven). Simply some lofty, damn near unattainable goal.
And I don't know that atheists in general criticize, at least not any more than a person of one faith would towards a person of another faith.
I sort of meant it as a way to illustrate that some things are at the limit of what we (in an individual and collective sense) are capable of achieving. And when we fail, perhaps we should look to taking responsibility for that. We should figure out what we did wrong.
And sometimes maybe we need to look at what is utterly impossible, and perhaps not attempt it in the first place. Not because of being stricken by some supreme being, but just because we're setting ourselves up for inevitable disappointment. Perhaps we could more realistically evaluate our chances before just diving in.

Why would an authiest build a tower to the heavens? They're too busy criticizing all the believers.
Uh, that would be athiest there.
