New failed concepts: “the god does not (not) exist?”—are you Kidding me?
"If the god does not exist, god also is not-nonexistent"—Just when you thought theists couldn’t be funnier than the hundreds of infantile arguments to defend that the god exists, another one came just about now, and my, surprisingly he was really quite serious in this new “findings” …[Read More]

Aren’t you sick of these whiny Christians?
To be honest, I don’t even know why anyone else would take these irate, irritated, and frustrated Christian Fundamentalists seriously. Some fellow named Steve Cornell tried to rant about Harris, Dawkins, and atheism. …[Read More]

Le Nouveau Chemin: Biography of my Belief
An important Biography of an Atheist. If this can be a good explanation of why Atheists are atheists to my family, this can be good for everyone Else's family.
I wrote this very short Biography in dedication to religious friends and family who deeply care about the things I believe in. I realize that I have to address the very controversial issues that may lead to blatant ostracizing, fear, and prejudice against me. If you are a person who feels it important to understand my reasons for atheism, then feel free to read. Otherwise, it is my full consent that this piece of writing is unnecessary for everyone else. …[Read More]

Prayers for the Table: A Christian Grace (A Satire)
Just a fun, satirical prayer for those table Grace blues! For centuries prayers contain cherry-picked sweetened woos and sucking-up to this god. Now, with a little twist, I've included prominent absurdity and bigotry in the Christian religion. …[Read More]

Science, not religion, have more viable answers to Morality
Questions of good and evil, right and wrong are commonly thought unanswerable by science. But Sam Harris argues that science can -- and should -- be an authority on moral issues, shaping human values and setting out what constitutes a good life. …[Read More]

‘Korean War II?’—wrong
23 November, Tuesday GMT +9:00—North Korea fires Artillery shells on the South Korean Island of Yeonpyeong. South Korea responds equally with an Artillery barrage. People around the world, especially Koreans, fear of an all-out war, although few of them suggest (or maybe hoped) there would not be an escalation to a full-scale conflict. The details on this recent attack yesterday are a bit hazy: some say South Korea fired the first shots on a disputed border territory in the area. …[Read More]

"Thank you for Christmas!"
A few articles ago I wrote an essay about the very negative attributes and deeds of the Catholic Church. Cunning and witty of me it may seem – and some writers, bloggers and critics would like to avoid it – straw-man arguments (or so it seemed to others) are often deemed necessary at some point. However, I realized just for now, that I forgot to say “thank you” for one thing; the Holidays. ...[Read More]

California’s Proposition 19 and the Legalization of Marijuana
Proposition 19 was the “Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010”. The summary of the proposition is to allow Marijuana be decriminalized and available for personal use. The proposition actually failed in California during the voting process in November 2010, as to much surprise of its supporters.
The reasons of its failure to pass could have been the rationale of the majority. I know some supporters of the Act have arguments on why it should pass, but we need to put them on the stand to see whether their claims are true, false or simply misleading (meaning with some truth in it, but not looking at the bigger picture)…[Read More]

"A Letter to the State of Delaware"
It is always outstanding to see a great panoramic view of the Brandywine Valley at the Rockford Tower. Your historic sites such as the Hale-Byrnes brings a feel of patriotic transcendence, your wonderful Bombay Hook, the grandeur of your Memorial Bridge, the longest twin-span suspension bridge; Delaware, indeed, is an intellectually stimulating place to be. Yet, the most important of all, you stand out of the rest because of the honorary title you rightfully deserve — the First State of the Nation.
Delaware is an important figure in American history. The richness of cultural heritage and historical background made it profound in the Founding of a New Nation — ever since that day in 1787 when Delaware became the first state to ratify the Federal Constitution, thus making Delaware the first State of the United States. This day, as election approaches in the 2nd of November of 2010, you, the people of Delaware, have a crucial and important part to play in the history of your State, and of the Nation. …[Read More]

"I hear, Mr. Dawkins —I Heard these before"
As I ended my reading of "The god Delusion" last week, I ran back to make a quick read because I remembered that I skipped everything on front, such as the Preface and its foreword. Much to my gleeful and silly surprise, Dawkin’s "I’m an Atheist Buts", a collection of critical reviews to the paperback edition (on the Preface), were very familiar to me as I have encountered almost all of them before.
The Following below are actual photographs from Dawkin’s book, followed by my little commentary based on my own experiences for each "I’m an Atheist buts"... [Read More]

Deeds Of The Catholic Church
If you are a Catholic, perhaps you should read this. It is a very important that you understand the history and rarely documented actions of your Church. I myself, which I stated in the About Section of this website, am a former-Catholic.
You might be disappointed, offended, or shocked with this article (or perhaps you already know all of these, and are not surprised anymore), because these are (if not all) the most of the evil, unscrupulous deeds of your embraced faith. ...[Read More]

The Funny Christian Show: Episode 1 (Tweet Battle #1)
Last night, I was enthusiastically running about Twitter.com and exploring various comments containing key the phrases, “God Exists”. As I am, I have responded promptly to them that ‘god doesn’t’. There is this one fellow, however, Brent McBay, who astonishingly, just threw back (poorly) weak, irritatingly stupid, ignorant religious spews right after my first hit — but it was pretty amusing — that I had to commemorate it here and show everyone how Christians, who are poorly informed about atheists, swag about these arguments (which they didn’t know are defeated already).
Boy, I wish it was actually Glenn Beck who fired back. Can’t wait to nail that clown in an argument. (Alas, apologies for the viciousness)
Enjoy! ...[Read More]

Science: Why Is It Better Than Religion?
Further dividing the Science and Religion; One is evidently necessary, one has to completely go away.
A lot of Religious Fundamentalists and Apologists – especially the insufficiently informed on the growing contention between Religion and Science – have a clichéd presumption of science as requiring to have ‘faith’ in it. One of the most astonishing so far, is their assumption, “Atheists think they know everything with science”. In fact, there was a time I heard this objection from an agitated religious individual when she tried to argue the existence of a god: “Well, how in the name of Science, and its ‘unlimited knowledge’ can you explain the beauty of child birth? Can’t you see the proof of god in there?” Contrary to that matter, we know that science is a systematic pursuit of knowledge, but this knowledge is derived from a collection of facts that have been proven through rigorous testing and experimentation, most of which were taken from various theories that were challenged, corrected, and re-investigated. ...[Read More]

The History Of ‘IN GOD WE TRUST’ In The U.S. Currency

After these original founders have gone, the U.S. government has been constantly preyed on by pious Fundamentalist who are apparently strenuous of their religious zeal. ...[Read More]

Want To Know Religion? Talk To An Atheist First
Not a long time ago, an infamous cliché is popular among Religious Fundamentalists and Religious radicals that atheists are just a bunch of confused people who know nothing about god. They assume we’ve never even touched holy books, never knew anything about what they do, and basically knew nothing of religious life. But a recent survey that measured Americans’ knowledge of religion found that atheists and agnostics knew more, on average, than followers of most major faiths in terms of religion. ...[Read More]

Is Religion The Cause Why We Are Good?
I have few other articles that I need to complete and publish, but I want to skip them over for a while to answer an important point that a pious christian is trying to ask me via the Amazon Book review I made for, “The god Delusion“, a book by R. Dawkins.
Prelude
Are people good only because they strictly follow a Religion? This was the topic of chapter Six of Dawkins’, “The god Delusion”, which he titled exactly, “The Roots of Morality: Why are we Good?” Here is what the christian man in a comment he made in my book review wants me to explain: ...[Read More]

The 'God-Overrating Principle'
Kids of the religious are seem to be unlucky these days. If they’re not being molested by pedophile pastors, or getting married at the age of 13 to their 50+ year old religious founder… The adults are embedding these superstitious practices in their head and making them believe these things are real. The saddest part however, is that these kids carry these superstitions in their minds 30 years later or more. ...[Read More]

thank 'god!' My president might be an atheist, too!
Ever since his presidential campaign, Obama's religious beliefs have been the focus of constant, unending speculation.
“Before we get carried away, let’s read our Bibles now,” said the young first-term Senator from Illinois in his speech to Call for Renewal, a liberal Christian group. “Folks haven’t been reading their Bibles!”
It was June 2006, and it wasn’t long before Barack Obama started to draw the wrath of evangelicals like James Dobson for the controversial speech.
