Thoughts on Consciousness without thoughts

There has always been disagreement on the issue of consciousness and who or what has consciousness or not. Since I can testify that one can be conscious without there being any word contents present I find it difficult to conceive of anything with even a rudimentary nervous system, not being...

How can we talk of a chosen people?

If we were to visit another planet somewhere far away and we found that there was one book, or compilation of books, more popular than any other and we find that those who read the book and all those who act according to their understanding of this book had a tremendous influence on the events and...

Freedom of Religion or freedom of any behaviour in the name of religion?

If we grant absolute freedom of religion, i.e. we allow any behavior in the name of whatever religion, we are not acting in the spirit of Christ. Before you object to my personal preference in religious outlook, just read on and make a more informed objection if you still feel you have to. If you... Sign in to see full entry.

Stray Sheep who want to be Goats

I notice a trend amongst atheists and others who have a specific problem believing that anything worthwhile can come out of the traditions that came about in dependence on the writings and musing of the children of Israel. Some of them don't want to believe in God as portrayed by this tradition... Sign in to see full entry.

Why we should fear God and spread the Good News

God is not bound by humanly conceived laws and ideologies. Just as easily as some believe in and promote liberty and justice, other believe in and promote enslavement and tyranny. Al this is happening for real in the Real world. God is that which is Real and not some figment of some dreamy idealists... Sign in to see full entry.

Electronic Religion

In an age of electronic gimmicks and a strong drive towards a materialist scientism (based mostly on an outdated view of the Universe according to pure mechanistic physics and the accompanying, reason conquers all, view) and consumerism that borders on the fanatical, there seems very little our...

Break on Through to the Other Side

Perhaps I've completely misunderstood most of The Doors' lyrics and Morrison really was insane. Then again I may be just as insane or just as sane and those who fail to see what I see in these lyrics are all insane. Leaving this bit of mental diarrhea behind, let me get to the point of this article:... Sign in to see full entry.

If you were God

If you were an omnipotent and omnipresent creator God, what kind of reality would you create? I know that this is a stupid question from some perspectives and that all the answers we can give will be based on a human perspective (unless there are some mutants or aliens among us), but it may get you...

Blame God, but don't believe in God

I've seen just about enough blogs and vlogs and other articles and shows that hammer on the same old senseless drum. If God was so good, why do so many people suffer so much? Then they proceed to blame religion and religious people for all the ills in the world. Many writers on religion have... Sign in to see full entry.

What is Religion?

We, who talk and write about religion, should at least make it clear what meaning we attach to the word, religion. It is often assumed that everybody using a word will stick to the mainstream dictionary definition. Some people do not even go that far, they simply assume that everybody will...
