The God Question is not benign

Filed under Religion on December 17th, 2008

For many believers, my opposition to religion is unacceptable, strange and meaningless, but somehow theists do find a little bit of respect for it — not in the sense that they also believe it, or that they even find it a possibility or fact, but in the sense that they can (somewhat) respect my opinion [...]

Religion ridicules itself

Filed under Religion on December 4th, 2008

Whenever I’m discussing religion, it is not my intention to ridicule the beliefs of people who consider God to be a supreme being of unchallenged power; who see the Bible as the true representation of this being on this earth — an earth which was created by the same supreme being mentioned before, according to [...]

Questions for the Children of God

Filed under Religion on September 25th, 2008

Those out there claiming to be “the true Children of God” are in the witness box today.
