Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Atheist belief in UFOs: 1 of 20
This subject is an interesting one since most would lump UFO's in the same category as the Loch Ness monster or Bigfoot and rightly so. The amount of evidence, frauds, shaky footage, inconsistent stories, etc, are all in about the same league as the next. Now the question suggests that believing in UFO's should be ridiculous ...

Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Why people become closet athiests: 1 of 18
It is not hard to see or understand why Atheists become closet Atheists. A research study in 2005 revealed that Atheists are the most distrusted minority group, even above Muslims. I do not know exactly where this kind of misled hatred comes from, as you never hear about Atheists in the news, except when they are involved in ... More..
Sciences > Zoology The evidence of evolution: 1 of 12
Many believe that evolution is just an "idea" and is not proven or is on shaky ground. However, a theory is much more than just a "guess" as so many mistakenly think. A theory is a hypothesis, supported by facts to substantiate it. Evolution is one of the most substantiated theories in science and with recent discoveries, is ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism The case for atheism: 5 of 32
The case for Atheism is a pretty simple one, at least for those that believe strongly in logic and reason. An atheist looks at the case for god the same as a jury would look at evidence in a trial. If evidence cannot be produced for any god, then it can be said with reasonable certainty that no god is real.Any and all religio... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Living a good life without God: 1 of 6
As an atheist, I am constantly told that I am less of a person than I would be if I had religion, or a belief in a god. I am also told that I cannot have morality without belief in god, because without religion, I have no morale guidelines or accountability and just can do whatever I want. I have many problems with this type ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Why atheism and morality are incompatible: 4 of 21
Is morality and Atheism inconsistent? Yes. However, for the Atheists and Christians reading this, please do not let my initial conclusion confuse you, as my reasons for proclaiming this is for a different reason than you might think. First we must define what morality is and what it isn't. According to dictionary.com it is, "... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism What was the cause of atheism: 5 of 25
My personal de-conversion is actually a very long story, too long to fit into an article without summation and leaving out some details. When many people learn that I am an atheist, almost in all cases I am immediately met with misunderstanding, sometimes hatred, sometimes condescending tones and sometimes outrage. I'm not re...

Sciences > Medical Technology Would you be willing to take advantage of genetic screening/engineering to overcome sterility and guarantee a child free of genetic diseases?: 2 of 9
When people speak about this subject, they are immediately reminded of Hitler's "Supreme Race" which caused the death of hundreds of thousands. It is understandable, the negative connotation that goes along with this, however, it is hardly fair. Some people simply are against this type of activity, because they believe it to ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Understanding the psychology of atheism: 14 of 57
When exploring the psychology of Atheism, first you must truly realize what it means to be an atheist. A person who claims to be an atheist is simply someone who does not believe in any god. Atheism is not a system of belief or a religion of any kind at all. Truth be told, everyone is in some way an Atheist because if you bel... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Intelligent design, creation, or evolution: Why worry about it: 4 of 12
The issue of whether or not Intelligent Design should be taught along side Evolution has been around for a very long time. Although Intelligent Design is a newer label, this is actually nothing more than Creationism repackaged to look like something non-religious in nature. This was proven definitively in the Kitzmiller vs Do... More..
