The Top 10 Shocking Things Christians Don’t Know about the Bible « Featured « AtheistConnect
Posted by David Stockin on Sunday, July 31, 2011 · 207 Comments I was listening to talk radio the other day, and NPR was having a discussion on adoption. One of the two guests was a Catholic Priest, which immediately made my blood boil. Catholic’s policy against the use of condoms and their denigration of unwed mothers is arguably the single biggest contributor to unwanted pregnancies. Having a priest on a panel discussing the solutions to adoption issues is like having an active gang leader sitting on a crime-reduction committee.
Bill Nye Boo'd In Texas For Saying The Moon Reflects The Sun - Think Atheist
Bill Nye, the harmless children's edu-tainer known as "The Science Guy," managed to offend a select group of adults in Waco, Texas at a presentation, when he suggested that the moon does not emit light, but instead reflects the light of the sun. As even most elementary-school graduates know, the moon reflects the light of the sun but produces no light of its own. But don't tell that to the good people of Waco, who were "visibly angered by what some perceived as irreverence," according to the Waco Tribune. Nye was in town to participate in McLennan Community College's Distinguished Lecture Series. He gave two lectures on such unfunny and adult topics as global warming, Mars exploration, and energy consumption. But nothing got people as riled as when he brought up Genesis 1:16, which reads: "God made two great lights -- the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night.
Positive Atheism's Big List of Douglas Adams Quotations
Yes, I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc.

Atheism , as defined by the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy , the Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy , and other philosophy reference works, is the denial of the existence of God . [2] [3] [4] The atheistic worldview has a variety of effects on individuals and society at large which will be elaborated on shortly. Concerning individuals adopting an atheistic worldview, atheism has a number of causal factors that influence its origination in individuals which will be addressed. In addition, critiques of atheism will be offered and some of the historical events relating to atheism will also be covered.

Atheism - Conservapedia
... imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in - an interesting hole I find myself in - fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise.

Why Atheists Are More Intelligent Than the Religious | Psychology Today
It is natural to believe in God, so more intelligent individuals are more likely to be atheists. Religion is a cultural universal, and its practice is observed in every known human society. However, as I explain in earlier posts (Why do we believe in God? Part I , Part II ), recent evolutionary psychological theories suggest that religiosity may not be an adaptation in itself but may be a byproduct of other evolved psychological mechanisms variously called the “animistic bias” or the “agency-detector mechanisms.” These theories contend that the human brain has been selected to overinfer agency – personal, animate, and intentional forces – behind otherwise natural phenomena whose exact causes cannot be known.
