‘In itself, every idea is neutral, or should be; but man animates ideas, projects his flames and flaws into them; impure, transformed into beliefs, ideas take their time, take shape as events: the trajectory is complete, from logic to epilepsy … whence the birth of ideologies, doctrines, deadly games.’

– E. M. Cioran

The world needs education, it needs to learn it is time to go beyond the restriction of negativity perpetuated by religion; It needs to determine that the value of humankind is not in whether or not it believes in some particular deity of choice, but the belief in humanity as a whole.

The Road To Enlightenment…

I have always held a fascination with man’s preoccupation with a need for a deity. How have they managed to hold us with a slave mentality, chained to a supernatural being for so long? Simple: never educate the masses. In all cases, it boils down to control. To keep the populace in a perpetual state of drudgery one has to throw them some crumbs of reward, and what better system to employ than to make that reward post-mortem in order not to seem to have reneged on that promise – voila! an afterlife in a heavenly place of, as Hitchens’ said, North Korea. No complaints department there.

The Destruction of Ancient Wisdom…

In the beginning, Christianity was a small eccentric and irritating Eastern cult, unfortunately, thanks to the Romans it didn’t stay that way. In Greek philosophy, faith was the lowest form of cognition and yet Christians celebrated ignorance and were proud of it.

A Christian Nation…

It has a connotation of being tolerant , forgiving and kind. Mistakenly it apparently denotes someone courteous, considerate, modest, helpful and generous.

Yes I know…….This is not how i see ‘christian values.’

Atheism: The Ancient Opposition…

Atheism is not a modern invention, nor is it a product of the European Enlightenment, or for that matter, inconceivable without the Western Secular States and/or science. That is a myth! A myth nurtured by some on both sides of the debate. On one side some atheists wish to present their skepticism toward the supernatural as a result of science’s progressive eclipse of religion, and on the other side the religious wish to see it as a pathological symptom of a decadent western world consumed by capitalism.

Secular Britain…. Yes ….. we bloody are!!!!!

Okay I admit I have been mulling over this for several weeks.  Truth be told until David Cameron decided to tell us we were a Christian nation, the thought had never entered my head. I thought what the bloody hell is the idiot on about! From the time I wake up to going to sleep it has not impact on my day. Unless I’m on twitter and then the theists are out in droves like a flock of sheep. But that is pure entertainment value and anyway they are usually from the States. To be expected right?

Then of course I sat back and decided to check this bloody outrageous statement out.  I don’t know about you but I don’t even know if there are any people in my daily working life etc that would be theists! I mean it is irrelevant.  Nothing in my real life reflects religion, it doesn’t dictate how I act or what I can or cannot do. Okay, well maybe one incident :-

What is a Theist doing in the company of an Atheist?……….

Please welcome my guest blogger Mr Anil Kumar who can also be found on twitter as @anil_95054.  I have the honour of being a close friend of Anil’s for almost 15 years and his loyalty and friendship have never wavered despite having to put up with my opinionated overtures  over the years. Our friendship gets stronger year by year and we have supported each other for so long it is second nature for us both. We have had many ups and downs in life but have been there for each other through them all. I value you him as  the special human being he is and will always be to me…. 

Please enjoy and comment……
