Hello, Im an Atheist.

Hello. Im an Atheist, and I wanted to introduce myself.

Gun control: an idea whose time has come

I havent posted to this blog in far too long, and it is the gun control debate that has brought me back. My goal in writing this is to show that the time to enact strict gun control is at hand, that more guns in society equates to more gun violence, and Ill try toContinue reading “Gun control: an idea whose time has come”

How does one open his heart to a god that is all, knows all, and creates all?

And while you are at it, how does the creator of all create himself? Or, who created him? And why would an omniscient being identify as a gender-male of the species he has created? Why would gender matter at all to a God? Wait, scratch that. Forget about the complicated questions for today, and letContinue reading “How does one open his heart to a god that is all, knows all, and creates all?”

The uplifting story of an Evangelical Christian turned sane.

Ill preface this with a little background on how I met this man, and why I think his story is powerful, and exemplary. I do not profess to know this man well, and in fact I’ve just met him, but I am greatly excited to have run into someone with such a hopeful story! During perfunctory introductionsContinue reading “The uplifting story of an Evangelical Christian turned sane.”

A rebuttal, whether you asked for one or not.

I write in response to the “Open Letter to the Atheist Community”, written by Rabbi Adam Jacobs, for the Huffington Post. The original article can be found here. This man is quite intelligent, well spoken, and is fairly rational and reasonable for a man who also believes in God. It is unfortunate that his talentContinue reading “A rebuttal, whether you asked for one or not.”

Should Evolution ALONE be taught in schools?

An interesting and provocative question, to which I am more than happy to offer an opinion. This post is in reply to a question posted in the ‘FB for Science’ group on Facebook, and also the title of this post. Should Evolution be the only [what] taught in schools? Faith? Or the only science? BecauseContinue reading “Should Evolution ALONE be taught in schools?”
