Do you consider yourself an agnostic, freethinker, or atheist? If so, please let me know. And if don’t want to out yourself to your friends and family, then feel free to send me a private message.

I have a serious question for anyone that is against gay marriage for religious reasons: Why aren’t you trying to suppress atheists from getting married? After all, there are millions of gay people that actually believe in God (even the same one as you), but you don’t want them defiling the church through unholy matrimony. […]

If you really want to boil it down to the absolute basics, I believe the reason we are alive is entropy. It’s the only “force” that ensures that things will change, and change is absolutely necessary for the existence of life.

A person can be smart, logical, and also believe in God but only if they have an incomplete understanding of logic. I don’t mean that as an insult. Logically speaking, very little about what religion has to offer makes sense. Invisible sky creatures? Telepathic connections to the undead? The Earth is only a few thousand years old? God speaks only to a handful of chosen people? Religion is the only path to morality? Be honest with yourself: none of those questions have logical explanations from a religious perspective.

Having personally gone through theism and agnosticism, I fully understand why people would want to call themselves agnostic atheists.

Q: Science does not have any morals, yet Atheist still worship science? It seems futile and I don’t understand. Why do you choose hell over the kingdom of God? A: Science does not have any morals because science is not a religion. Mathematics and chemistry have no morals, either, and yet people have little doubt […]

Q: What’s with all of this animosity between Christians and atheists lately? A: Lately? This crap has been going on for (literally) thousands of years. It just wasn’t until the invention of the internet that we finally got to see the theism debate argued across the spectrum. We have intelligent people, idiotic people, atheists, theists, […]

I’m not an atheist because I have yet to see evidence that God exists; I’m an atheist because I understand the biological explanation for it.

Q: If you could ask God any question, what would it be? and what would be the question that God asks in response? A: Eric: Why are you so explicit in the Bible but so silent in nature? God: How would I get people to read my book if they knew the ending?

Q: Atheists: Could you argue IN FAVOR of Theism? This is more a poll about debate skills than principles. I know from my own debate experience that I rely on the rules of logic to form a sound argument. I also think that I can argue from either side of most debates effectively…with the exception […]

Q: Why do some Christians tell atheists that they aren’t going to heaven? Do they think that bothers us? We don’t believe there’s a heaven and we don’t think Christians themselves are going to any place like that either. So why do they say this to us? A: Short answer: They’re bad Christians. Long(er) answer: […]

Q: This question was asked yesterday. Would the religious do the same for atheist? Atheists, If religion was outlawed would you fight for freedom of religion? Freedom of religion is considered a fundamental civil right, if it was to be prohibited (like it was under the Stalin regime) would you fight alongside Christians, Muslims, etc. […]

A quick rundown of the surprising similarities between atheists and Christians.

This is an old paper I wrote for a religion class, and I’m only leaving it here for posterity. I may replace it with a more concise version (because this one is too academic) once I feel the motivation. This version does not fully represent what I believe now. Agnosticism is the belief that it […]

Saying that you can’t prove or disprove the existence of God has been the cop-out for the God debate for as long as I’ve been aware of it. Atheists, Christians, and primarily agnostics use this idea when it all comes down to agreeing to disagree. For the longest time, I was accepting of the idea […]
