Atheist Fairies

Behold the atheist who thinks himself the most noble of man—he who makes charitable giving even more of an egocentric process than the believer. Instead of, “look at how great I am serving the one above us,” it is, “look at how great I am.” The former is abject submission, the latter is ostentation in…

Thoughts on the Problem of Evil

It amazes me that people who live in a world filled with child abuse can believe in God. How can the omnibenevolent be reconciled with this? Perhaps it is because we live in such a world that some people need faith in order to deal with these awful facts. As for me, the idea of an all powerful being…

Are all the religions true? Nope!

If all religions are a different road to the same god, then why do most religions ask you to kill anyone who wishes to take the other road? Believing in all religion is nonsense. You cannot say all the religions are right, when they all say every other religion is wrong. -AD

Pascal’s Wager

Pascal’s Wager Pascal proposes that there are two decisions to make; to believe in God, or to not believe in God. If you don’t believe then you are risking damnation, but if you do believe, you have a chance of going to heaven. On the surface the best conclusion is quite obvious. Choose to believe,…

Being gay is not a defect!

Someone told me that homosexuality is a defect because if everyone were gay the human race would go extinct. Does this mean that being male is a defect because if everyone were male the human race would go extinct?—Or female.   -AD

Immigration and the Bible

I am not religious, but I find the following verse to be very thought provoking at a time like this, when immigration is such a controversial topic. “The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.” –…

My meaning of life

When I was religious I believed there would be a time in which justice would be served. I was absolutely convinced that everything would work out in the end. Those who deserved happiness would receive happiness. Now that I’m an atheist, I don’t believe everything will work out in the end. I do not believe…

Fault. Religious or religion?

We live in a world where the religious are often ridiculed. You can turn on the TV and see the latest radical muslims, or radical christians being condemned for their actions. But you will rarely see an entire religion being called out. It is taboo. In Christianity it is often said that one should hate…

In defense of atheism

Since the dawn of time religion has brought violence into the world. After centuries of this, some thinkers finally figured out that we need to change things. Then came the new ideas: Utopias, worlds without exploitation, equality—but the new ideas weren’t perfect. Some of these ideas evolved under secular governments and eventually became the horrors…

Mormons!

I am an atheist, and although I disagree with religion, I still love my religious friends. I am also a liberal, and although I disagree with Republicans, I still respect my conservative friends. I am also a vegetarian, and although I don’t agree with supporting the meat industry, I still enjoy meals with my carnivorous…
