Chris Taylor recently wrote this under my “Occam’s Razor” post:
I challenge the pointless-ness of having God IN the equation. To know that God, a designer, started the whole series of events, adds such a deeper, passionate understanding of the world we live in.
What if you took a spiritual world-view and started with God, God in [...]

Parting of the reason I am not a deist (and theist, to an extent) is because I just do not need the belief to function.
It’s pretty pointless. there is a wide world of happiness, wonder, science, and ethics without throwing the God hypothesis into the equation. It can work inversely and hold one down.
Why hang on to the [...]

This is a quickie - check out my last, longer post, too.
Here’s my question for Christians this time around:
How did god decide what’s moral and what’s not?
Keep in mind that he created everything (supposedly) to fit his tastes, so he could have changed anything he wanted, and keep in mind that nothing existed before him [...]

Although I have had this idea for quite a while, I must confess that Dan Barker’s essay “Dear Theologian” really helped me flesh it out.
Let’s begin.
Christians often say that the point of human existence is to worship and love God and that the whole universe is just there to praise and give glory to God.
But if [...]

A while back, Dennis Prager (radio personality) posed the question to atheists “If you were alone in an unfamiliar city at night, and a group of men you didn’t know approached you, would you feel safer or less safe if you knew these men had just come from a Bible study?”
Cristopher Hitchens tried to answer this in what [...]

Yes, my vacation is over. I know it hasn’t been a week. Tough.
I’m feeling a lot better after some McDonalds and 9 hours (really) of Seinfeld.
…
Anyway, Some Christian Blogger responded to my “10 Reasons I Am Not A Christian” with “10 Reasons I Am A Christian.” Here’s the link:

After sitting through some kid’s (UPDATE: to clarify, we’re talking late teens here) lecture about how the bible is an accurate history of the world, I decided to throw together a little essay for him concerning my thoughts on the subject. I’m calling it “Why I Am Not A Christian”, Bertrand Russell-style. I decided that [...]

I’ve always found it a bit disturbing how much Christians love to parade around with torture devices like crosses with naked, beaten men nailed to them. Or, as Pat Condell said, “I like the crescent moon, I find it much more attractive than the cross, Perhaps it’s because there isn’t anybody nailed to it.” (That might not [...]

I just finished reading this post:
http://evedyahu.wordpress.com/2008/04/04/a-narcissist-god/
It’s a rebuttal of sorts to someone who said God is a narcissist – it sort of reminded me of that time I called God an asshole. lol The post itself isn’t that great – it’s just a circular argument about how God isn’t a narcissist because he really is [...]

A thought occured to me just now. What if Jesus WAS real, he lived once, and thought he was the son of God and said all of the things attributed to him, and really thought he would come back to life after getting crucified and rule the world, etc. etc.
What if once he was crucified, [...]
