"Supposing there was no intelligence behind the universe, no creative mind. In that case, nobody designed my brain for the purpose of thinking. It is merely that when the atoms inside my skull happen, for physical or chemical reasons, to arrange themselves in a certain way, this gives me, as a by-product, the sensation I call thought. But if so, how can I trust my own thinking to be true? It’s like upsetting a milk jug and hoping that the way it splashes itself will give you a map to London. But if I can’t trust my own thinking, of course I can’t trust the arguments leading to Atheism, and therefore have no reason to be an Atheist, or anything else. Unless I believe in God, I cannot believe in thought: so I can never use thought to disbelieve in God."

C.S. Lewis might have been a good writer, but thinking and reasoning was quite obviously not his forte.

This just showed up in my Facebook news feed and it infuriates me. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s fantastic that their kid is responding well to the treatment and is getting better from this horrible thing that is leukemia.

But as usual from believers, who gets the credit?! Surely not the doctors and the people who developed the pharmaceuticals that are making their kid better - not even the kid himself gets any credit for being strong in his fight against the disease!

No, god did it. That’s it. God and the prayers of friends and family. Why thank the doctors?

11956 people have their priorities wrong.

Presumably a lot of catholic priests are using this app…

Just watched this documentary about the Westboro babtist church and it’s very disturbing. I know that some people would call this a ‘cult’ and not a ‘church’ - so as to justify other forms of religion.

The reality is that the only difference between a cult, a church or religion is the number of people following the teaching in question. Granted, other religious denominations might not be as outspoken and ‘extreme’ in their views, but fundamentally they all practice, and try to propagate the opposite of reason.

This documentary perfectly shows one aspect of why humanity must move away from religion.

Part 2 here.

These must be those compassionate, loving Christians I keep hearing about.

Come on everybody. Let’s all drop everything and just pray. It’s definitely the solution to everything!

Then say the same thing in a few weeks, when your home is overflowing with garbage, when you and your kids are starving, when sick people and newborn kids in hospitals are dying and the world grinds to a halt.
