From the article:
Recently people have started rubbing the toe on David Humes statue on the Royal Mile. The sculptor, Alexander Stoddart, said: Today [in Edinburgh] liberalism swamps the city and churches, and atheism patrols the halls of power. It is ironic that an atheist and rationalist should have his toe adored by the masses. But I deliberately stuck the big toe out over the plinth so that the public would interact with it. I knew this would happen, and now I hope this will become a fine Edinburgh tradition.
The great thing is that its so ironic that David Hume, who is the patron saint of all the atheists, should now have his toe adored.12
The apostle Paul, addressing the Christians in Rome, declared that people by their unrighteousness suppress the truth [about God] and that they are without excuse (Romans 1:1832) because it is obvious that God created the world. Ironically, the thousands who now rub David Humes toe are simply expressing the fact that we are made in Gods image. If we dont worship God, we end up worshipping something else.
