Religion & History

 

The Dark Bible
  The Bible describes God as a wrathful, jealous and scatological. These quotes show the pornography, atrocities, and questionable moral verses from the KJV Bible.

 

Should we admire Jesus?
  Does the character Jesus in the Gospels merit the admiration that so many have bestowed upon him? The Bible's own words throw doubt on the workable morality of the alleged Jesus "the Christ."

 

Did a historical Jesus exist?
  Did a historical Jesus actually live? All accounts of him come from hearsay writings and no contemporary evidence exists.

 

Martin Luther's dirty little book
  Few Protestants realize the venom and hatred that Martin Luther spewed toward the Jews. In 1543, Luther wrote a book titled "On the Jews and their lies."

 

Problems with Creationism
  A refute to a proposed Argument from Design from a Christian Creationist. Inconsistencies derived from illogic, faith and a lack of evidence have produced an unworkable hypothesis about a universe invented by a Designer (God).

 

Hitler's Christianity
  Hitler acted like Christians of the past and present. His actions agree with many God ordained horrors of the Bible. These articles use Hitler's own words to prove his Christianity and shows how the Churches supported Hitler's regime.  

 

Thomas Jefferson on Christianity
  Although Jefferson supported freedom of religion he did not believe in the superstitions of Christianity. A few quotes from Thomas Jefferson on Christianity and the Bible.

 

The United States of America is not, in any sense founded on the Christian religion
  Religious Right groups have dishonestly attempted to rewrite history by claiming the U.S. government derived from Christianity. This simply does not hold to the historical evidence. Example: the Treaty of Tripoli explicitly reveals, in a lawful document, the intentions of our Founding Fathers.

 

History to consider
  U.S. currency originally never used the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST." The original Pledge of Allegiance never mentioned "God." How the Christians stole Christmas and Easter, and more.

 

Problems with Islam
  Articles from ex-Muslims that show how the character of Islam involves violence, corruption, tyranny, poverty, and illiteracy.

Science & Philosophy

 

The problems with beliefs
Does rational thinking require beliefs at all? These articles suggest that one need not own any beliefs to establish scientific facts, or to live a fulfilling moral life.

 

List of common fallacies
  A list and brief description of the most common logical fallacies.

 

Understanding E-Prime
  English without the use of essence words like "is" and "be" helps clarify what we wish to explain. E-Prime provides a linguistic tool for scientists and rationalists.

 

Freethinking about finances
  If you wish to live free, you will need the financial means to allow you to control your life.

 

A history of the knowledge of atoms
  An epistemological look at the models and theories about the atom that scientists have used to explain and understand the working of the atomic nature of matter.

 

Speculations: Does Light Exist Between Events?
  An examination of the claims of the existential nature of light.

 

Death and Time Traveling
 

If you want to get to the far future, you have to die. Speculations on time travel and how to do it.

 

  Something to Think About:

History aside, the almost universal opinion that one's own religious convictions are the reasoned outcome of a dispassionate evaluation of all the major alternatives is almost demonstrably false for humanity in general. If that really were the genesis of most people's convictions, then one would expect the major faiths to be distributed more or less randomly or evenly over the globe. But in fact they show a very strong tendency to cluster... which illustrates what we all suspected anyway: that social forces are the primary determinants of religious belief for people in general. To decide scientific questions by appeal to religious orthodoxy would therefore be to put social forces in place of empirical evidence...

--Paul Churchland (Matter and Consciousness: A Contemporary Introduction to the Philosophy of Mind)
