daybydays asked: Sorry since that person was "anon" I couldn't talk to them directly but if you may, this is what I'd like to add in and hopefully they'll see that.

I think age of reason is right in just being upfront with them but also I think there are some factors to consider like 1) how open minded your family is but seeing as they are "strict" evangelical...

Anonymous asked: Hi there! Thank you for such a wonderful blog. I'm hoping you could offer some advice. I was raised a strict Evangelical Christian and attended church every Sunday without fail until I was 15 years old. Eventually as I got older, I became bored at church and slowly stopped attending. I am twenty years old now and have learned an incredible amount in the past few years. I'm the happiest...

An Atheist in the Pulpit
James McAllister, a 56-year-old Lutheran minister in the midwest, was working on his sunday sermon one Thursday afternoon last summer. It wasn’t going well. The reverend wasn’t suffering from writer’s block—in fact, he was crafting quite an elegant parable about “the importance of making our whole lives a prayer.” No, the problem was bigger than that. The sermon...

Ayaan Hirsi Ali wants us to shed the inhibition of judging and say that one religion is better than the other.

I used to think about what kind of proof would convince me of a ‘god’ yet I couldn’t think of anything. You see how can you distinguish between a much more advanced life form, whose knowledge and technology would to us seem god like and ‘god’. To some the idea of alien intelligent life seems nonsense yet a ‘god’ perfectly obvious. The probability of...

wtjeff asked: As annoying as it is for believers (particularly Christians) to argue with you about god, I try to empathize with them. As Penn Jillette puts it: it's like if you saw a bus careening downhill on course to hit a guy, you'd do your damnedest to get him out of the way.
Well, these people truly believe that the metaphorical bus is about to hit us godless heathens and they're...

Why we should teach philosophy to kids
Via the BPS Research Digest: A recent study on the long-term benefits of the Socratic method. In a study of 105 children, all around 10 years old, teachers spent an hour a week for 16 months teaching lessons based on philosophical inquiry. The philosophy-based lessons encouraged a community approach to “inquiry” in the classroom, with children sharing their views on Socratic questions posed by...

kellytwo asked: It blows my mind that these people are trying to prove a god to an Atheist...as if you or your subscribers are suddenly going to think, "Oh, well gee, now I believe in God because you tell me there's not any proof he DOESN'T exist." Right.

adamnaegeli asked: I'm just making a comment on the last question that was asked you, about the absence of evidence.
I'd like to say that most intellectual atheists have never said that the absence of evidence is the evidence of absence.

I'm sure a vast majority of atheists would love to be converted into believers so long as their was enough proof.
Atheists are simply...

Anonymous asked: the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence, if god can really walk on water and then turn it into wine then die and come back to life it can be simple for him to show he is alive, but people love the poison of religion

Anonymous asked: Is agnosticism a bad thing, or am I an agnostic? I believe in God but for some reason, organized religion nowadays, I believe, does not live up to what I have expected it to be when I was younger. Now that I end up doubting everything, some of my Atheists friends call me "weak" because I don't have a stand. My only point with Atheism is that I can't just throw away my belief in...

Anonymous asked: You know science because you pursue it; you are ignorant of God because you don't pursue Him.

"If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me" - Jeremiah 29:13

I love science! I see God in science. It's important to seek the WHOLE truth with every breath and an open mind to whatever answers we will find. Don't you agree?
