  • Atheist Sunday School – The Historical Jesus

    Atheist Sunday School – The Historical Jesus

    Today, like many other Sundays, we had Sunday School on Twitter.  Since the topic was a bit long, a few of my friends suggested that I should preserve today’s stream of tweets for further reference. In fact, their suggestion was rather that I wrote these as a blog post, but my laziness knows no boundaries. My apologies.

    So, to make it less embarrassing, let’s say that this is a raw draft of a future post; also, please consider that we have yet some facts that we need to review in our next Twitter Atheist Sunday School.

    This is a fascinating story. In my opinion, everyone should have access to learn about these facts.

    This is how we make atheists. 😉

    Update:

    So, what’s your conclusion? (◕‿~)✿

  • Why are there still Chimpanzees?

    This post  is an attempt to reply to part of this question posted on Twitter by Ed Betterley.

    Oh! The process by which new oxygen is produced is called Photosynthesis.

    As for your last question, Ed, I have better reasons not to believe in any gods than to believe, but, if there are gods and they are just, they will not care how godly and pious you have been, but will judge you based on the virtues you have lived by.

  • We are Secular Humanists

    According to secular humanists, human values should comprise the commitment to improve universal well-being. Ethical principles should be assessed by their effects on people, not by how well they conform to preconceived ideas of right and wrong.

    Secular humanists reject that values and ethics are imposed from any deity. In that it echoes simple atheism. Secular humanism goes further challenging humans to develop their own values, and maintains that through a process of value inquiry, where reflective men and women can reach rough agreement concerning values such as integrity, trustworthiness, benevolence, and fairness; components of effective morality that are universally recognized.

    These qualities are celebrated by almost every human association, not because god ordained them, but because human beings cannot thrive in communities where these values are ignored.

    Secular humanists strive to offer a nonreligious guide that hopefully one day will conduct humanity in pursuing fulfilling and humane lives – lives that are rich intellectually, ethically, and emotionally, without reliance on religious faith.
