5 Reasons Why I think the Christian Religion is Man-Made

I should preface this article by saying, I do not propose that only Christianity is man-made; I believe all religions are the product of man, but I happen to be raised in a Christian upbringing, and so this is my forte. After a year-long analysis of my faith and doctrine, one of the conclusions that I finally made (with the help of Hitchens and Dawkins), is that god did not create man, but man created god.  What kind of problems? Hatred...

Science, Religion and the Environment

What follows is the January 1990 text, sent by scientists to religious leaders, of "Preserving and Cherishing the Earth: An Appeal for Joint Commitment in Science and Religion." The Earth is the birthplace of our species and, so far as we know, our only home. When our numbers were small and our technology feeble, we were powerless to influence the environment of our world.

Exceptions

Recently, one of my favorite youtuber released this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ0Vtk9ffGI&list=UULhtZqdkjshgq8TqwIjMdCQ&index=1 I found the logic of the video quite interesting and I've decided to extrapolate DarkMatter's message a little bit.

It'll save you the trouble and don't forget to subscribe to him if you liked it. Here goes, To summarize the video, its...

Answering "Questions for Atheists" Posed by Matt Slick of carm.org

A Reasonable and Logical Response to an Apologetic's take on Atheism A theist posted this to me, in an effort to understand how an atheist views the world.

I don't know how long this link was posted, but nevertheless, I feel compelled to answer them, for the benefit of curious theists.

An Open Letter to my Christian Family and Friends

My "coming out" letter explaining why I'm not a Christian anymore It was last year when I listened to a podcast of The Thinking Atheist entitled: My "Coming Out" Letter. And for a very long time, I had planned to make my own letter. After nearly a year of struggling with my faith and reason, I just felt that the best way for people to understand my position is for them to read it in a detailed way. Treating this as a conclusion of a long and hard conquest for truth, I finally made my letter yesterday. I want to share this to the freethinking...

I am the B in LGBT. I am the bisexual. Myths about bisexuality pervade society. Some of them are really negative and powerful that it can affect a person identifying as a bisexual badly. This is a post that aims to shatter some of these assumptions. Myth 1: We are just lying (shh! we're just afraid to say we really are gays and lesbians). Just like a good myth or stereotype there is a grain of truth in here. It's really true that some...

I am an Atheist, therefore I am

There are only around a few thousand Atheist, Agnostic or Freethinker in a country of 100 billion and we cannot avoid looking at the world through our black-tinted glasses. We are struggling the same fate as our fellow LGBT. There are many closet Atheists out there due to the fear of social prejudice. For those who already came out of the closet, some were rejected while some were accepted.  Among those who were accepted by their families and friends, we still cannot avoid those half-baked acceptations.As an Open Atheist, here are...

Clearing Up Definitions and Misconceptions

For the past years, many articles and surveys like this, this, and this have given rise to this unsettling general consensus: Atheists are one of the least trusted people, almost in par with rapists and pedophiles. Well, you might think that these surveys are biased, outdated, and these only apply to Americans, but think again. A recent event had demonstrated the severe consequences of speaking your mind and daring to challenge the religious...
