Election

President Obama has secured a second term in office.  While this would seem to be a victory for the 'common' agenda of secularists everywhere, it could also mean that some of the most disturbing trends are likely to continue (NASA funding, etc.).  Thoughts?

The GOD issue

NewScientist has posted a series of articles from their God Issue: New science of religion that runs the gamut, from the possible biological origins of religion, to why it still persists today in the 'age of reason' to what, if anything, a secular human society should borrow from religion to complete itself.

Site Reconfigured

The new site is up and running.  This new format should be a good starting point for us to spread the word about Atheists and Freethinkers~! 

We have opened up the comments section on the posts to registered users.  This means that anyone with an OpenID or Google account can comment on any post in the blog.  This was done so that we could mitigate some of the trolling that so often comes with the subject of atheism.

Thanks,

Out of my skin - or - Out of my mind.


A comment from the story on CNN.

I had the pleasure of seeing a post on Facebook about a story that CNN was running on the book of Revalation. The article was informative and took a deeply scientific approach to the topic. The auther went into the history of the book and its author.

The most enlightening aspect of this article was not the content, however. The comments (as shown above) were what interested me the most. It's comments like the one above that completely destroy all credibility for the religious in the scientific community. Please keep in mind that this is just my opinion.

I have listed the link to the article and the comment (assuming it has not been removed) below. There are many other comments just like this one but you will be reading for a while since there were over 4,000 comments at the time of this writing.

Spiritual Atheist?

I was trolling through the Internet today and I came across the most wonderful article:

Spiritual Atheist

This article really touched me. I'd never
really thought about this in an honest way before. Please leave comments and let me know what you think about it.

Thoughts: ver 1.0

Stating that there must be a god based on the fact that there are many cultures in the world that accept some form of deity could be viewed as rational.  I am not convinced of this rationalization.  Would it not be more logical to infer a simple need for humanity to understand the world in which we live?  As our understanding has increased, our relience on fabricated assumptions should logically decrease.

There also exists the fact that humans are habitual.  This, I believe, has evolved as a means for us to survive and to pass on our genetic coding to future generations.  Naturally, once a culture finds a path that facilitates progress and apears to increase understanding of a particular subject, that path is usually adopted as truth.  Hence, when gaps exist in logic, those gaps must be bridged in order to continue the logical process.
