Many Atheists, myself included, point to the ambiguities, contradictions and inaccuracies in the holy books as evidence for a lack of a perfect God. After all, if God can’t convey his thoughts and instructions in a clear, consistent and unambiguous way, then why should he be followed at all?  For many people who see the world through […]

The Basics of Evolution
Unbelievably, I still get asked about evolution. How can I possibly believe that we evolved from monkeys? If we did evolve from monkeys, then why are there still monkeys? There are people out there who just don’t want to accept the evidence, the mountain of evidence, that’s been gathered over the years. So instead of […]

Christmas Crazy
Christmas is fast approaching, and as usually happens around this time of year the crazies are out in force. Â From stories of Nativity scenes being shunned by towns to people going around criticizing various organisations for daring to be inclusive. Â It’s always amusing to see these people attempt to crush the religious beliefs of others […]

The Faith Matrix
Of all the arguments for an against atheism, the most ill-informed is surely It takes just as much faith to be an atheist as a theist. This, of course, is patently ridiculous. Â Being an atheist requires no faith, not even a little bit. Â I have to respond to this argument point so regularly I thought […]

How Do We Win the Battle Against Ignorance?
Amongst some in religious communities there is a pride in ignorance. Â Atheists are frowned upon for being “intellectuals” and out of touch with the normal, working class people. Â This pride in ignorance is not the cultivated ignorance that we see as a result of organised religion, but rather a misplaced sense of conflict and segregation. […]

What Happened Before the (Young) Earth Existed?
Young Earth Creationists (YECs) are an odd bunch. They denounce and ignore mountains of scientific evidence in order to blindly believe just a single source, the Bible. What’s more, they take the Bible as a literal transcript of what happened. So when the Bible says the universe was created in six days, they believe the […]

When will religion END?
As a firm proponent of evolution, and natural selection, I’ve started giving some thought to the end of religion. Will we reach a point in time where religion no longer exists? Or when organized religion no longer exists. Thinking about this from a Darwinian point of view, it’s very easy to imagine the possible causes […]

Summing up the Religious End-Game, by The Bible
I’ve often wondered what would happen if I suddenly started believing in a religion. And some times, this thought extends and grows and I find myself wondering what would happen if everyone suddenly started following one religion. The entire world. So using the mindset of a Christian, I thought I’d take a look at the […]

Did Jesus Deal with the Devil?
I’m no bible expert, so any questions I raise about the bible are always from an outsider, non-expert viewpoint. Having said that, maybe someone can clear something up for me. In the bible, it suggests that the devil tried to tempt Jesus with things like food, power and, important for this article, invincibility. Jesus, obviously, […]
