    Perception and Reality

    Whatever our five senses and intellect can discern about this universe within set limitations is the objective reality within which we live – period. Anything else is nothing more than allowing our imaginations to convince us that something exists which we cannot perceive or prove. Reality is...

    Perception and Reality

    We are constantly bombarded by believers telling us their versions of reality which includes gods, demons, angels and the supernatural which swirl around our heads in an endless battle of good vs. evil, where the invisible intervene in our affairs, and the supernatural taking place right under...

    What’s wrong with those people who worship animals?

    What is wrong with those people who are too ignorant to know they're ignorant?

    What’s wrong with those people who worship animals?

    I see the human species as having the lowest rank. Only Humans are bestowed with a brain that has the level of consciousness to decide right and wrong. Other species don't have this level of consciousness, so collectively species other than humans are not good or bad. Humans are the most...

    Heaven and Paradise

    The multiverse idea is provable neither by observation, nor as an implication of well established physics. It may be true, but it cannot be shown to be true. It does have great explanatory power — it provides an empirically based rationalization for fine tuning, developed from known physical...

    IS there an eastern/pagan solution to our religious delimas?

    The act of sitting in silence, eyes closed or facing a wall, attention focused on the inner landscape of breath, body and mental activity, could at least be characterized as self-absorbed — some might call it navel gazing. The term “navel gazing,” which the dictionary defines as “useless or...

    IS there an eastern/pagan solution to our religious delimas?

    Eastern religion and metaphysical world view cannot easily be reconciled with science—or, more generally, with modern humanistic values. Buddha’s first step toward enlightenment was his abandonment of his wife and child, and Buddhism (like Catholicism) still exalts male monasticism as the...

    Heaven and Paradise

    The concept of Heaven, or paradise is a doctrine to make sense of death and to keep the mass public in line by using fear. The concept borders on absurd. There is my atheist’s idea of what heaven would have to be like if such a thing existed, which is does not. The definition of space is the...

    Trump Jr will go to Hell!

    Trump Jr. has joked about the Aurora shooting, Arab stereotypes, overweight people. Trump Jr. is the joke.

    A question about Trump supporters

    I read where trump supporters are praising Mexico's collapsing economy. These idiots seem to not understand two simple things. 1: Mexico is a large player in the global economy and having them fail would be devastating. I honestly think trump supporters think that all of Mexico is like Nogales...

    What is wrong with celebrating birthdays?

    Why do we even celebrate them? "Congratulations! You're one year closer to death! Nice job not dying for the past 365 days! Why should someone get presents and praise simply for living? I shouldn't have to go out of my way to call or text people I barely ever talk to, or to simply to tell them...

    Does God hide himself?

    Apart from hiding, what is god good at? Where the hell is god by the way? I'm not talking about logical, scientific or emotional proofs. I'm talking about empirical evidence that all laymen can understand and all scientists can agree on ( like the proof that gravity exists). People claim...

    Atheists Don't Exist.

    I agree, i think it is impossible for anyone to truly have the knowledge or perception that a god exists.

    Is God really THE god?

    "The God of the Old and New Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential...

    How can one, as an individual, be critical of Israel without seeming anti Semitic?

    I have no problem with Jewish people, but the country of Israel i do not like. Our founded republic in 1776 bears no resemblance to the anti-democratic police state that has declared war on its citizens, and provokes needless wars in the Middle East at the behest of Israel. At the center of it...

    Dislike and distrust of atheists?

    Atheism isn't something you belong to, its a personal relationship and journey with logic and reason.

    How Much of a Theist or Atheist are You?

    I consider myself to be a hardcore atheist/antitheist. I have a bible and Koran with personal annotations regarding contradictions, disturbing parts, etc. I'm a member of an organized atheist/Humanist/etc. organization. I've Successfully “de-converted” someone to atheism. I Have already made...
