Read Part 1. A little philosophy inclineth man’s mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men’s minds about to religion.—Francis Bacon In part one of this post, we shared some fairly jarring quotes from respected "scientists" that made it very clear that "objectivity" as it is asserted by "scientists" is illusionary, and "science" had [...]

It’s usually bad policy to just find quotes from people to prove your argument. If you look long enough, you can find someone, somewhere who says something so outrageous it proves your point. But once in awhile quotes are so jolting that they can stand on their own. The topic is science (in this case [...]

Children’s Christmas Pageants are supposed to be uplifting. They usually embrace some kind of definition of the spirit of Christmas – Christian or secular. This can take the form of a telling or reliving of the Christmas story of the birth of Jesus or some version of a secular Christmas tale. In December, our church [...]

In the last post, the meaning of Xmas was discussed. As it turns out, Xmas is not an attempt to take Christ out of Christmas, but the Greek letter chi standing for Christ. We then talked a bit about the usual anti-Christmas stuff that goes on. The premise was that God, the Creator of the [...]

It’s pretty clear everyone has an opinion about the afterlife. These opinions range from “there is none” to very elaborate envisioning of the future. This is not always a favorite topic – especially if it seems very far off. If you are an atheist and to some degree an agnostic, this question causes little concern. [...]

I met a Hindu at a steakhouse the other day. I was a little surprised. He said he didn’t worry too much about eating his uncle. Then I went to a Chinese restaurant full of Jewish people eating pork lo mein with parmesan cheese. I met both a Communist atheist and a Communist Christian. I [...]

nobody x nothing = everything 0 x 0 = 4234234235805982509834092384029384029384023…. Do either of these “formulas” make sense to you? There is no force behind the creation of the universe. So nobody created it. And it apparently came to be out of nothing. If you call yourself an atheist, this is pretty much the hypothesis you [...]

Perceptions do not create truth. They reflect – accurately or inaccurately – individual knowledge of truth. Likewise, reality is [...]

The rhetoric about the existence of God, the role of religion in society, science vs. theism, etc., etc., etc. has gotten pretty shrill. In the “good old days” there were visions of organized debates with formats, rules, politeness and — perhaps — reasoning. Maybe polite is stretching it a bit, but the formats and rules [...]
