A place to read and write about God(s), religion(s) and similar obscure entities. |
Here is a common situation: You are arguing with a creationist about the origin of all the processes in the universe being based on the laws of nature, and then they come up with the strange question: “And who created the laws of nature?” Who told physics to act in certain ways? The real answer […]
The Doctor Analogy This argument is often used by religious preachers to explain why God’s morality is strong and has nothing to do with the suffering we see in our world. The story goes like this: A little boy enters an operating room in a hospital, in the midst of a complex operation. He sees […]
The word “logic” is used quite hastily nowadays. We tend to assign it to almost everything we think. We often blame others that they’re logically mistaken if they don’t think like us. Mathematically speaking, “logic” is a very well-defined area. If B is derived from A and A is true, then B is true. This […]
One of the common religious claims about “creation” is that the world was created some 6,000 years ago with all the known scientific evidence already built into it. Sort of “God is trying us”. This claim of retroactive creation makes little sense, and is already discussed here. An interesting method of tackling this issue is […]
One of the strangest claims, widely spread in the world of religious preaching, has to do with the phenomenon known by science as “the Big Bang”. The religious believer imagines a big explosion, say, like the one we observe when a bomb goes off. A great amount of things is blasted in all directions, and […]
“But most people believe in God…” – You’ve probably heard this winning argument in one of your endless discussions with some religious preacher. The calculation done by our partner to the discussion is pretty obvious: Let’s take the number of Christians in the world (say about 2 billion) together with the number of world’s Muslims […]
Knowledge of religion is often portrayed as “wisdom”, and memorizing religious verdicts is often referred to as “studying”. However, the real attitude of religion towards true studying is like a double-edged sword. This is true for many religions of the world, is in particular true for the big Western ones, namely the various trends of […]
A new virus is always a great joy for religious preachers, who perceive our world as run by some kind of mysterious mechanism that keeps them in the center of things. Indeed some of our local Jewish preachers (as I’m sure also their competition worldwide) have already expressed their opinions on this matter. One talented […]
The Jewish Holocaust – known also as the Shoah – poses a real challenge to the religious believers. They are generally brought up to believe that there is an almighty God who manages a system of reward and punishment. Furthermore, all kinds of disasters are often explained by misbehaving according to the religious rules. So […]
The story of the young Israelis in Cyprus previously-accused of raping a British woman — demonstrates an important issue of religions. Watching the story evolving on TV, one could not escape the religious aspects popping up here and there. Many of the boys were suddenly shown with a “Kippah” (a Jewish traditional head cover) on […]
