One Of My First Atheism Articles: The Heretic Speaks
2009-08-23 19:24:00 I was geniunely surprised – and mortified — when Peyups suddenly posted my 5 year old article on atheism I called The Heretic Speaks. This article was probably seen as really mediocre that the older editors condemned it to the bottom of the bin. It was really shocking to see it published on the front ...

A Christian Analysis Of Atheism, Part 2
2009-08-21 23:21:00 Try as the atheist might to manipulate objective data to fit their hypothesis with some evolutionists going so far as to invoke the law in order to suppress perspectives conflicting with their origins account, the assumptions of atheism fail to square with the facts of nature and with the revelation of nature’s God. At one ...
BBC and Other Film Footage Shows India?s Top Guru Sathya Sai Baba Faking Mi
2009-06-10 23:16:00 The Sathya Sai Baba Organization has tried to stem a major exit from congregations via a role it internally refers to as 'the waverer's committee'. This wealthy and highly authoritarian organization, which seeks to infiltrate mainstream civic, religious, education and political venues, will not be so frank as to show the waverers the following videos. For the Sathya Sai Organizations recruiting drives in luxurious venues, See: ?Secret Swami? Cult Recruits At Prime Public Venues. For the dangers posed in its infiltration of unsuspecting communities, while concealing its agendas, and often from its own rank-and-file, See, Sathya Sai Baba Sect and Its Hidden Agendas. A Caution To truthfully go through these stark video revelations of Sathya Sai Baba cheating with his (so-called) miracles is to see why Sathya Sai Baba defenders like Dr G. Venkataraman and Gerald Moreno have raised profound smokescreens and engineered such markedly distorted 'pictures' of hundreds of former Sathy...
Sathya Sai Baba?s Failed Moon Miracle Under Heavy Cloud
2009-05-23 01:36:00 An article that has continued to gain many ‘hits’ long months after the posting at: http://barrypittard.wordpre-ss.com is: Sai Baba To Be Seen In Moon? But Where Was Moon? The almost acrobatic contortions of Sai Baba’s defenders are well-nigh tortuous to read. Perhaps they impart some kind of imagined bliss to those who habitually refuse to look carefully at the evidence ...

Atheism and Autism--Are They Correlated?
2008-07-21 23:23:00 This month's issue of Psychology Today has an interesting piece that reminded me of everybody's dear friend, Vox Day. He asserts in his blog and his book on many occasions that atheists are more likely to suffer from what he terms "social autism"--disorders such as Asperger's Syndrome or mild forms of autism. He bases this on informal internet surveys that questioned people on their personality traits. But is the correlation really there, or is this just another attempt to disparage atheists? "It's All Geek to Me" by Benjamin Nugent discusses the difference between the systematizing brains of so-called "nerds" and the empathic brains of the more socially inclined. Although nerds, the "intellectually gifted but socially awkward" (p.39), do share some traits of those with ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorders) but not to a severe enough degree to be classified as a pathology. In fact, the behavior can be brought on solely by parenting styl...

Atheism in Utopia
2008-05-06 13:32:00 Came across this passage in Thomas More’s Utopia this morning, and couldn’t help but share. :-) …only he [Utopus] made a solemn and severe law against such as should so far degenerate from the dignity of human nature, as to think that our souls died with our bodies, or that the world was governed by chance, without a wise overruling Providence: for they all formerly believed that there was a state of rewards and punishments to the good and bad after this life; and they now look on those that think otherwise as scarce fit to be counted men, since they degrade so noble a being as the soul, and reckon it no better than a beast’s: thus they are far from looking on such men as fit for human society, or to be citizens of a well-ordered commonwealth; since a man of such principles must needs, as oft as he dares do it, despise all their laws and customs: for there is no doubt to be made, that a man who is afraid of nothing but the law, and apprehends nothing a...

Investigating Atheism
2008-05-01 06:18:00 With the controversial topic du jour being the 'battle' between religion and atheism, here's a wonderful resource for educating yourself a little, in order to help elevate this important debate beyond a mere caricature: the Investigating Atheism website. The project has been put together by a group of academics and researchers at the faculty of Divinity at the University of Cambridge, and at the University of Oxford, with a goal of aiming to give "a fully independent, but informed statement about this important subject." The current polarised nature of the 'new atheism' debate often discourages serious discussion of the very issues that the 'new atheists' have brought so forcibly to the attention of the public. Behind some of their more vociferous assertions, there are complex debates going on, and here we will seek to understand how and why these debates have arisen, and what is at stake. This website is a great resource for getting more background on the history and philoso...

Soldier sues army, saying his atheism led to threats
2008-04-26 12:40:00 FORT RILEY, Kan. ? When Specialist Jeremy Hall held a meeting last July for atheists and freethinkers at Camp Speicher in Iraq, he was excited, he said, to see an officer attending.But minutes into the talk, the officer, Maj. Freddy J. Welborn, began to berate Specialist Hall and another soldier about atheism, Specialist Hall wrote in a sworn statement. ?People like you are not holding up the Constitution and are going against what the founding fathers, who were Christians, wanted for America!? Major Welborn said, according to the statement.Major Welborn told the soldiers he might bar them from re-enlistment and bring charges against them, according to the statement.Last month, Specialist Hall and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, an advocacy group, filed suit in federal court in Kansas, alleging that Specialist Hall?s right to be free from state endorsement of religion under the First Amendment had been violated and that he had faced retaliation for his views. In November,...

The noble position of atheism
2008-04-24 18:21:00 A short rant by Bob PattersonFor reasons not easily understood, humans seem to have a basic need to want to believe that an invisible, omnipotent and omniscient deity -- one that is entirely responsible for everything and that demands our unquestioning devotion, obedience and respect for everything good that happens -- is watching over us. This same deity, however, vehemently denies any responsibility whatsoever for those things which are bad, undesirable, or painful. It's the ultimate and most divine "cop out" that humanity has ever documented! To sum it up simply: God gets all the credit for that which is good, but takes none of the responsibility for that which is bad. This is all somehow justified by the doctrine of "original sin" -- an unpaid debt that was caused when Eve ate a forbidden cumquat from the "tree of knowledge" and was suddenly made smarter. This episode pissed off the big guy in the sky, who obviously wished women to remain ignorant. (Makes you think of the Catho...
