I occationally will look around on YouTube for videos dealing with atheism and everyone once in awhile I’ll find someone who wants to show atheism is illogical. Most of the times the person uses an argument that stems from pure ignorance of what an atheist is…and recently I ran into someone saying it again. So I thought I’d share with you how the argument goes and the flaws with it.
So the...
My first year in college at the University of Kentucky I was taking an introduction course in Psychology. While studying the textbook for that class one day I read a sentence that caught my attention and stuck with me ever since then.
“Be skeptical but not cynical, open-minded but not gullible. “
Ever since I read that one sentence, I knew that is how I’m going to look at everything in the...
I’ve heard for years that the United States of America is a “Christian nation” and that our laws are based on the Bible. Most recently this was said by ex-govenor of Alaska and Vice-President want to be Sarah Palin on Fox News while talking to Bill O’Reilly (video below). The people who think this typically have no interest in other people’s point of view, opinions, or beliefs but...
There’s been times when I’ll sit down and watch a show dealing with ghosts like Ghost Hunters and I’ll always have questions going through my head while watching them. There are so many things that simply don’t make sense to me, which is why I don’t believe they exist. I figured I’d go ahead and list a few of these questions here.
What are ghosts supposedly made...
This passing May 6th may very well be the last time the United States will have a National Day of Prayer, well at least that’s what I hope. Now some of you may be upset that I hope this, but I need to explain a few things before you get too angry.
I’m completely for there being a Day of Prayer. It can even continue being May 6th. I have no problems with people praying if they want to...
From twenty-one to twenty-six years old, I considered myself an agnostic. Then one day I really had to be honest with myself and took on the label of atheist from that point on. I told only a few friends and my girlfriend, now wife, at the time but I kept my religious skepticism mostly to myself.
I’m not sure when it happened, or how, but one day I said “forget it,...
Today my wife and I were watching ‘Ghost Hunters Academy’ on the SyFy channel and I couldn’t help but laugh at the people in the show occasionally. My wife, Mandy, is much more open to the possibility of ghosts and glares at me when I laugh, but I can’t help it. These people who are “investigating” already believe in the existence of ghosts and seem to blow everything out of...
A video was released in Iran of a girl who is supposedly magnetic. In the video she starts hanging spoons on her face and then she switches to using coins. The whole time, these items are placed in such a way to cause friction to stay on her face. Whether she realizes it or not, it has nothing to do with magnetism. People all over the world have put spoons on their face in the same way just for fun. ...
Well at least that’s what Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi, a senior Iranian cleric thinks. He was quote saying to an Iranian media,
“Many women who do not dress modestly … lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes.”[1]
I’m perfectly fine with people believing that people should be dressed in a particular way, but...
Pope Benedict XVI ended up catching some Z’s briefly in front of a crowd of tens of thousands during an outdoor mass in Valletta, Malta. His nap didn’t last long though because Bishop Guido Marini nudged him awake. I just wonder, what caused him to nod off in the first place? Was he out late partying with the clergy, was the service awfully boring, or was it simply because he’s just getting old?...
