atheism

A lot of you may remember me mostly for one of two reasons. My ignorant yet passionate rants on religion or my blog on my autistic brother, my complete stranger.

As was shown by the statements from the official creeds of mainstream Christian denominations, most Christians believe it to contain the inerrant word of God. In fact one of the arguments for God's existence (and an underlying assumption for many of the other arguments for God's existence) is the ARGUMENT FROM THE BIBLE.

There has been a spate of books come out recently by atheists criticizing the belief in God. These books portray the belief in God as being inherently irrational. This a rather strong statement, especially considering that 85%+ of the people in this country profess a belief in God.  Read More »
