Ego has stood in the way of truth on many occasions. Sometimes people have an idea in their heads and no matter the fact that there are many possibilities, they only consider one. Richard Dawkins is one such. I have often remarked that though religion is absolutely a false doctrine, containing little truth, and because…

The namby-pamby, the wavering, the indecisive, have no direction. Even when they see the merits of a position they cannot bring themselves to promote it, seeing moderation as a better position.

Atheists have been given a bad rap ever since humans’ invented Gods. There is little that the non-believer can say or do which will stop this sort of defamation. How can atheists improve their image? Well, one thing is for sure. Atheists will not solicit approving nods by sticking their thumbs in a Christian’s eye.…
