Is believing in god wrong?

Posted on May 15, 2013 at 2:25am 10 Comments

Most theists and their apologists most often write that without the belief in god, life is meaningless and they go ahead and ask people to surrender everything to their supposed gods.

You are likely to find a theist write

When we surrender our lives to God and decide to follow Jesus we give up our rights to live our lives the way we want to. We give up the right to be in control. For most the idea of giving up control of your life is a real sticking point. But…

Why I oppose religion

Posted on February 25, 2013 at 5:21am 34 Comments

Friends, I know some of you have been soldiers and have fought for what at that time you thought was right and I can't take fault with you. Many of you have killed or seen their friends killed in battle lines and I don't have words enough to express my condolences. That said, I think all war is born of superstition. I have not looked at the history of all the wars that have been fought, but I think we can agree that the greatest percentage have been to defend a particular creed.

Resetting the Georgian Calendar

Posted on January 20, 2013 at 7:00am 6 Comments

About 2 weeks ago I did post on my status a petition to the Royal Society to start a debate on resetting the calender to reflect our true heritage. 

The text of the petition has been altered slightly and I request you to again append your signatures. And I apologise to those who has signed it.

Nothing much may come from it, but I think it will start a discussion that all of us alive today and who are secular would be interested in. There is nothing about 1BC and 1AD that…

Here is a Romney supporter

Posted on October 25, 2012 at 6:05am 16 Comments

I was reading this blog of a guy who claims to be voting for Romney with a heavy heart. I find the guy's reasoning to be defective and his reasons unjustifiable. But if this is the type of reasoning people have for voting Romney, then there really is a big problem.

I am not voting for Romney/Ryan because of jobs, government doesn’t create them.  I am not voting…

HELP! I saw, I believe your comment on five panelists discussing "Nothing and the origin of the universe". I am not technically proficient, and can't find the video which was terribly complex, but important to me. I want to see it again. Can you help me find it? I guess you leave a message on my page.Thank you very much. Bob Jagiello
