The God Gene…. and I’m not talking Levi’s

atheism

Well this week was interesting and the topic of conversation seemed to be the argument for a God gene being present. Apparently we all have one and so we must all believe in a higher power. Umm… I had of course heard of this idea several years ago and had dismissed the theory. Of course, on hearing the words banded around again I felt i should re-visit as maybe I had missed some recent study.

It quickly became apparent I hadn’t missed a thing, but decided maybe a post was just the thing, just incase there was anyone out there that had not heard of it.

Solo bike journey

Solo bike trip.

It had been quite some time that I had gone on a bike trip so finally the time came for travel. Being a festival season and a long week end, couldn’t get a better chance to do a trip. So the next question was where as I had covered most of the places and did not want to go the same place again. Pune and in and around Pune is one place I had not covered. Thus made a travel itinerary, with help of friends and Google identified few places. The places to visit were my first love, forts and caves, which talk of the history, behind and the legacy of the past.

Day 1 – 24-Oct-2014.

As usual being a late waker woke up at 8.30 and got fresh in half an hour, packed bags  ( being a light traveler, just took the bare essentials) and…

Religion…. to be taken with a pinch of salt and a shot of tequila

atheism, Atheist

Well, what a week!  I still find it totally astounding that there are so many crazy theists out there who seemingly don’t get the concept of their religion. Or maybe its the selfish gene – the great ‘IAM’ of the bible.  I can’t see where they find the time for their chanting rituals and other ‘god stuff’ as they spend all their time arguing on social media with atheists lol.

Ive noticed there are three types of theist troll:-

• HATERS
• SLEEPWALKERS
• COMPLETE NUTTERS

I met a few of them this week….. hell i meet a few of them every bloody week..

I have a friend to thank for the subject of this weeks blog.  Alas I’m not sure she  would have been aware of the history behind her Lady. I had of course been aware of the mythology behind it but once putting it down on paper the amount of historical data astounded even me, and made me even more aware of the myth behind the story.

It begins around 2,000 BCE – in effect 2,100  years before the christian New Testaments. Mut-em-va the virgin Queen of Egypt was said to have given birth to the Pharaoh, who later built the Temple of Luxor, where, to this day you can find the representations of the story on the Temple Walls :-

“Isn’t it enough to see that the garden is beautiful without having to believe there are fairies a the bottom of it” – Douglas Adams

For sometime now I’ve been thinking on the obsession theists have that we should be interested and all knowing of everything their religion is, but they show an ignorance of Atheism. I mean if your going to debate with us you should maybe have an idea of the facts of Atheism right?

Creationism………when exactly did that UFO dump all these stupid people?

Atheist, creationism, evolution, Muslim

Well, last week was one of those weeks where twitter had a mind of its own, and creationism discussions seemed to dominate my timeline, and so without further ado I go with what is being discussed and decided to do a 101 on creationism. Who knows maybe next week the Flat Earthers will be out in force and i can do a follow up. hahahhhaa. For anyone unaware of what creationist believe:-

CREATIONISM  – is the belief that the universe and all life originates and was created by God through magic.

CREATIONIST SCIENCE – Christians attempting to reconcile inconsistencies between a literal reading of the bible and science.  Creation science is a direct response to concerns of believers who see their faith is indefensible as being at odds with science.

Josephus…. novelist or historian?

atheism, Atheist

So you guys in shock? I NEVER write two blog post in a week!! Blame it on taking a few weeks off and also on a conversation that made me want to re-read a certain historian called Josephus. For those of you who don’t know him a quick biography:-

TITUS FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS

Born: Yosef Ben Matityahu

Born A.D. 37

Romano-Jewish scholar, born in Jerusalem

He wrote numerous works on world history from a Jewish perspective for a Roman audience.  With me so far? Good! His writings give us a valuable insight into 1st Century Judaism and the background of his peoples. However, lest we forget,his main source material was of course the Torah. So more of a religious history then.

Hi America…… Why so religious?

christianity, religion

In the twitter world there is one group of people that stand out among all others for their intolerance of others. It is the Christian Americans. In fact, they seem to be the American majority that tend to interact with me.  Of course, as Europe is pretty much for all intents and purposes a secular society, the European theists seem to be more tolerant of our differences, in a live and let live mentality that i like.

The Christian Americans, however, are adamant we are all going to hell and that the U.S. is the new promised land!  Did anyone send that memo to Jesus?
