The Agnostic Mom 2007-02-28 03:45:00 I would like to make a website recommendation for any parent who is agnostic, or just not religious. http://www.agnosticmom.com/
I recently stumbled on to this little gem of a weblog and thought I would take the opportunity to share it with you. The author is Noell Hyman, the goal of her site it to provide advice and information for raising a healthy family without religion, and may i say i Read more:Agnostic
An abstract look at God 2007-02-23 00:49:00 What if science could prove with no exception that God does not exist, and that all supernatural phenomenons are pure fiction? By answering such questions several smaller questions need attention, such as.....Why was mankind so misled for thousands of years? Why did so many intelligent individuals dedicated their lives to religious beliefs and ideals, How did it all start? The mass hysteria that
Atheist vs. The Religious 2007-02-17 22:56:00 First I would like to say a few things before I get this rolling. I would not ever tell someone what he or she should or should not believe. I believe everyone has a right to his or her opinion this subject of religion. This post does not reflect my opinion on ALL religious people or on ALL atheists. I will specify whom I mean when I refer to them, for example: "Atheist

Disclaimer 2007-02-14 03:45:00 This post is in regard to my previous post entitled "The Atheist Revolution"
I suppose some explanations are in order here.
First and foremost I am an Agnostic. Despite that fact I still recognize that when religion is under that proper leadership and use, it has its purpose in modern society.
Second, I did not intend to imply that VJACK is a racist. Jamestheflame is correct in his
The Atheist Revolution 2007-02-11 18:44:00 This post is a response to a blog called The Atheist
Revolution located here on blogspot.com. I fully support free speech; everyone is entitled to voice their opinion. I will now make use of the same right to point out the many flaws in the content of his blog. My hope is that everyone who reads this will proceed with caution. People seeking answers to important issues like religion too often
Creationism 2007-02-03 02:00:00 To some, the concept of creationism may seem far fetched. Probably due to the fact that science has defined so many of the laws of physics and nature. Then further proven these laws validity through experimentation. Modern science which can define and predict the outcome of events with amazing accuracy, even on a microscopic or particle level. Based on the current Read more:Creationism
Re-wire your brain 2007-01-31 02:27:00 Have you ever wondered why the suicide rate in Ethiopia is almost zero? How bizarre. I recently stumbled on to this statistic and it just blew my mind. (No pun intended.) I can't help but wonder why it is that here, in America, the land of opportunity; people are killing themselves by the tens-of-thousands. Meanwhile on the other side of the world in a hopelessly desolate, hunger-stricken, 3rd
Morality 2007-03-01 23:31:00 For thousands of years the nature of ethics and morality has been a argued by philosophers, theologists, and everyone in between. Theologists would credit religion and God for laying the guidelines for good and bad behavior, while philosophers would take an alternative road and investigate the fundamental characteristics that define moral behavior. I would not like to be excluded from the Read more:Morality
The lost Jesus Tomb; random thoughts... 2007-03-04 19:24:00 Today is the day that a documentary entitled "The Lost Tomb of Jesus
"
will be on the discovery channel. It is also the first day in my investigation into the nature of belief, which as Socrates said, is the "short-cut to thinking". I have been perusing around the web to various atheist and christian websites. So far most atheist website proclaims this new evidence as a solid refutation of the Read more:thoughts
Cigarette reform laws 2007-03-08 03:46:00 I would like to see the rest of the country follow Maine's recent example:
On Jan 19, a new cigarette reform law took effect in Maine's second largest city, Bangor. The law will prohibit smoking in a car with children. This gives Bangor police the authority to pull over a car within the city limits and give a fine of 50$ to anyone caught smoking with a passenger under 18 years old.

A Glitch in Evolution 2007-03-10 03:16:00 "Mental disorders are common in the United States and internationally. An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older — about one in four adults — suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. When applied to the 2004 U.S. Census residential population estimate for ages 18 and older, this figure translates to 57.7 million people. Even though
mental disorders are widespread

The Philosophy of Contradiction 2007-03-15 00:15:00 It makes no sense whatsoever that an infinite, omnipotent god would need to incarnate himself as a human and then subject himself to an agonizing and bloody death just so he could persuade himself to forgive us and save us from the cruel fate he created for us. It makes even less sense that the all-wise creator of the universe would manifest himself in an isolated corner of the world during a

The concept of self 2007-03-16 03:06:00 While visiting The Agnostic Mom blog I ran across a interesting perspective on the human soul. Great debate has been made about the possibility of the souls existence. Science has made enormous progress in mapping the human mind and is close to a full understanding of how our mind works. Science and evolution theory try to eliminate all supernatural possibilities. Perhaps the concept of the soul
Death, Marriage and Christianity 2007-03-21 23:16:00 I have a couple of questions regarding religion,
perhaps you can help me out with a few things.
As you all well know I am not religious, though I have been in and around many religious environments all my life. One question i have had since i was a child was in regard to marriage and death. Having known many religious people who have lost a spouse, and then remarried. This behaviour has always

God logic 2007-03-23 01:33:00 The existence of God....Every time I visit the blog scene I am amazed at how many individuals feel they can know the nature of god, or think that they have the concept figured out. I think I've read enough self-proclaimed refutations of God to last a lifetime. You name the method, I've read it: Logic, Reductio ad absurdum, Burden of Proof, and of course the most common rebuttal thrown around is
Definition of religious terms 2007-03-25 01:56:00 Many times here on The Revolution, we engage in a religious
debate of some type. Often there has been confusion caused by a lack of common labels for this or that belief. So for the sake of discussion here on this blog, i will define the existing terms and propose new names for beliefs that aren't clearly defined.
Passive Religious One who believes in a specific god(s) yet does not feel the

Proof of God 2007-03-27 01:38:00 I have read my first philosophical proof of god and I have found it very compelling. Several times in this proof, the arguments of a man named St. Thomas Aquinas was referenced. His writings are vital to this proof. Fortunately I have a copy of his book that feature the referenced arguments. So please read this post carefully as it is a complex argument. The entire post/proof is not posted here.

Why Christianity is Necessary. Pt 1 2007-04-05 02:52:00 An introduction to this series
There are many atheist who wish for a total removal of religions belief from society. Although i have never seen it worded the way I'm about to present it, I can only assume that in order for society to give up on religious belief entirely, they must have considered all the ramifications and must have meant this specifically: Such an atheist would like to see

Nietzsche 2007-04-11 03:03:00 One of my major inspirations in philosophy was Friedrich Nietzsche
, if you ever have the chance to pick up one of his books I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Nietzsche, in my opinion, is the all time king of one-liners. So please enjoy some of his wonderful insights.
"A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything."

The Brain 2007-04-11 04:10:00 The human mind is an amazing organ, by far the most complex organ in the known universe, yet so user friendly, any idiot can utilize it. The mind can be programed to preform the most complicated external task, while still maintaining, the complete organization of your entire bodily function. This post will dive into some of the human brains wonderful features as well as some of the unusual.

Mind over matter 2007-04-13 00:08:00 Discovery Magazine just published its 100 greatest discoveries of the year, and as far as I'm concerned number #11 should have taken the cake.
A neuroscientist named John Donoghue of Brown University has managed to implant a tiny 100-electrode array into a paralyzed man's primary motor cortex. This is the part of the brain that controls voluntary movement. What this little implant does is

Why Christianity is Necessary. Pt 3 2007-04-14 23:56:00 Fear of God
For thousands of years the most effective means of controlling the masses has been the fear of god. If your a Christian, Divine retribution is certainly something to avoid. Here are some descriptive key words that might help you understand what Christians think a trip to hell would be like.
description of hell is that of fire.1

The Hippie Conservative 2007-04-25 02:35:00 I have taken the time to post a Recommended Web Browsing column here on The Revolution. The sites selected are the blogs that I feel deviate and exceed the norm' from the typical writing you might find on your average blog search. Yet somehow, simply "posting a link" does not quite do justice for the bloggers behind these fantastic sites. So from time to time i may try and entice you to sample
