Internal Monologue

Photo from Celebrity Values Today's Atheist of the Day is multiple Tour de France winner and cancer ass-kicker Lance Armstrong. Not too many athletes here on Internal Monologue , but for Atheist of the Day I feel its important to roam around the professions. Here's the documentation: From the Times Online Article : Although a confirmed atheist, he takes me almost immediately to the tiny chapel, lovingly describes its features, and, above all, the 15th-century painting of the Crucifixion that takes pride of place. Also: Lance Armstrong was quoted by ET Magazine as saying "If there was a god, I'd still have both nuts." It's a refreshing change from all those athletes thanking God for their victories. If she's responsible for their victories, should she not also be blamed for their defeats ?

(Photo from SFGate.com ) Today's Atheist of the Day is Diane Keaton. From her wikipedia entry : Although raised a Methodist, in an October 2002 television interview with Oxygen Keaton stated that she currently considers herself an atheist . From the defunct celebrity atheist site entry (living on in the Google cache ): She laid out her atheism in great detail during an 20 Oct 2002 (?) interview on the Oxygen cable network. The submitter reports that the interviewer (Brenda Vaccaro?) looked uncomfortable during that segment and tried to soften for the viewers Diane's blatant, hardcore approach, but Keaton just ignored it. It's not rock solid, but I think it's good enough.
