My future posts are now located in this site: http://theprize.wordpress.com/Though I decided not to talk about atheism exclusively there anymore, my interest in the debate would make me pass by it on occasions. With that said, some of my entries, which I feel to be good ones, were moved there. I would no longer update this blog though it will remain viewable by the public in a state of

Often times I would here a theist saying: “Laws requires a lawgiver. There exist, what scientists call, laws of nature. Therefore a laws-of-nature-lawgiver exists.” But this is an error in reasoning due largely to a misunderstanding of what a law is. A browsing in wikipedia will enable you to see the different definitions of what a law is. Have a look:Law or Laws can refer to more than one thing:

I do not believe in ghosts, spirits, gods, demons, heaven, hell, among others. The reason for this is, people characterize these concepts as belonging to a category called "supernatural". But what exactly is the "supernatural"?I did a research. And I was surprised with what I found. Supernatural has no definition. If it has no definition, then it is meaningless. If it is meaningless then it is

In this article, I am going to attempt to prove that God (or Gods) exist.Before that, I shall lay down the barebones of my argument that I'll be using for the rest of this essay:I define God as a personal, intelligent (posessing intellect), nonspatial (not occupying space), self-existent (it has always existed and is therefore uncaused), timeless (not bound by time), and, immaterial (not matter)

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?Then he is not omnipotent.Is he able, but not willing?Then he is malevolent.Is he both able and willing?Then whence cometh evil?Is he neither able nor willing?Then why call him God?Question: Do you believe that there is a perfectly good God who love us so much and unconditionally?Answer: With this the kind of world we live in, I don't see how we could.

I have always been a fan of Austin Cline. I have often found myself time and again referring to his work when explaining atheism to others. He writes in a very lucid, concise, non-jargoned, non-aggressive manner which makes his writings the perfect introductory material for questions about atheism. If a theist would only care to read and understand everything written on that site, much of their

If you have read my previous post, you will know of my Christian lady acquaintance who I met on a certain chat room. Just a while ago, she introduced me to a friend of hers. She then created a conference for the three of us to hangout. The conversation started with casual fun and lighthearted conversation. Then soon after, her friend’s curiosity led him to inquire about my atheism. To make things

A while back, I decided to take a break from my philosophical discussions and musings and decided to unwind by chatting in MIRC. First, I went to #Pampanga Channel to find nice people to chat with. Unfortunately for me, no one was replying. I then just decided to play an MIRC trivia game out of boredom. After getting bored (again) from answering trivia questions, I then went on jumping from one

This is a continuation from the previous post. Similarly, quotes from the author are enclosed on blockquotes. My response are in the normal format. I will address the remaining alleged flaws in the next post.7. "Theists should believe in the Invisible Pink Unicorn."This is in reference to something called the Invisible Pink Unicorn Argument, an amusing little ditty that atheists enjoy bringing up

I have encountered a copy-pasted article on the Pinoy Atheism Forum asserting that purportedly, Atheism possesses 13 big flaws. After skimming the article, I have found nothing but mere assertions, strawman arguments, and a serious misunderstanding of what atheism is. Most of the "flaws" presented are not flaws of Atheism itself. The author, Baby Aaron, had simply attached mutually exclusive

The Bible scholars have a secret. A secret that they cannot afford to reveal.What many "scholars" are telling the public is not exactly what they believe. They know that the "Jesus", as we know and understand him today, was nothing special but rather, a mere product of the Greco-Roman culture - a hellenization. They also know that the core doctrines and theology of the Christian religion was

"The only thing I know is I know nothing" As I marvel about the complexity and richness of life, I cannot help but feel very ignorant amidst its vastness and intricateness. So many questions, so little time. But this should not deter us from finding answers. The search for answer is what keeps me going. There is joy that accompanies whenever we would discover an answer to our question and a
