Enlightenment through common sense

I know that there are many readers of this blog who are “of faith”. Some, I respect for their willingness to enter into open discussion about their religion, and I accept that for some people, religion is a necessary part of their lives. There are other people, however, who can’t see [...]
This is something I’ve been pondering for a while after I saw a comment on another website implying that Christians were better than non Christians because of charity work, such as operation shoe box, that Christians participate in and run. I’ll concentrate on Christians in this post because it was a comment from a Christian [...]
Tags: Christianity, MoralityThe Bible Quote, “Out of the mouths of babes…”, is meant to represent the idea that children, in their innocence sometimes speak more sense than adults. The uninformed teach the informed. So what happens when an author, and President of the Family Research Council gets schooled by a comedian and talkshow host?
Stephen Colbert asks.
“I think [...]
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 [...]
Tags: Christianity, Logic, The BibleI came across this video (embedded below) on Richard Dawkins.net today and, well, WOW. This is a video made with the clear intention of scaring impressionable individuals, specifically school children, into either converting to Christianity, or if they are already Christian, evangelizing to their friends. I watched the entire thing, giggling throughout. At the end, [...]
Tags: Christianity, media, PropoganderI have absolutely no problem in celebrating Christmas. However, I’m not celebrating the birth of the son of God, instead I’m celebrating spending time with friends and family, and some well deserved time off work. In fact, Christmas as an event has become completely disjointed from the religious underpinnings. And I don’t think I’m the [...]
Tags: Christianity, Christmas, IslamThere’s a post up over at Crooks and Liars covering the recent dismissal/resignation of a state official for openly questioning Intelligent Design. For the record, all this woman did was forward an email about an upcoming anti creationist presentation to a number of people. The implication of this is that the state of Texas is [...]
Tags: Christianity, Creationism, PropoganderI’m incredibly grateful to whoever put together this gallery of pictures from the Creation Museum because there is no way I could ever walk round that place with a straight face. I’d be lynched (or crucified, perhaps) for rolling around of the floor laughing. Comedy on such a scale that little bits of wee would [...]
Tags: Christianity, Creationism, PropoganderI’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. [...]
Tags: Bible, Christianity, Jesus, The DevilIt’s easy to see that whoever conceived certain religions was clearly thinking logically, unlike the followers of these religions. There are many aspects of many religions designed solely to prevent members of these religions converting to non-believers. Sometimes these measures are blatantly obvious, sometimes you have to apply a bot more logic.
I’m going [...]
