The Exploitation Of Ignorance

Religion has been exploiting ignorance for as long as its been around. According to them, God is hiding in ignorance. At one point, god used to be responsible for much more — before we understood things like bacteria, mental disease etc. Before these things were understood, they would be wrongly explained with divine intervention. Even things like the origin of the Earth's species. Obviously we now know that evolution is responsible for the complexity of life — over billions of years. And the people that still believe in the genesis story — over evolution, are similar to those that still believe the earth is flat over the "theory" of it being round.

While many Believers still deny reality, many accept evolution as an explanation; but these people think that a god is responsible for getting it all started, or for helping evolution along (macro-evolution etc.). God is hiding in ignorance, and when the light of science shines upon it — God is never there. Humans being fearful of the dark is the reason why religion can exploit ignorance as easily as it can. The lower a person's IQ, the more religious they tend to be (there have been many studies that show this trend). People with poor intellectual abilities prefer simple fairy-tales to understand the world around them (regardless of how wrong they are), to complex ones which would leave them feeling even more ignorant.

Perhaps it has to do with feeling comfortable with ones surroundings. Some people prefer simple fairy-tales and an all-powerful god looking out for them, over a complex world without the sense of control that an omnipotent god provides.

Screw Yahoo.

Google has this blog as one of the top Atheistic blogs on the internet. But Yahoo does not. To fight this injustice, post a link to this blog wherever you can. Thanks!


More posts are to come. But keep in mind, I'm busy doing college nonsense — so not much will come out in the next few weeks (or months), just stay active — post comments. I <3 everyone, even if you disagree with me. I just want discussion on this blog.

Expected To Do The Impossible

We are expected to do the impossible. Is it possible to do the impossible? Let me explain what I mean — there is zero evidence to support the existence of a god. This means, hypothetically, if a god existed, he has made no attempt to make his existence known (or any solid attempt which is known to us). On the other hand (according to many 'believers') he expects us to be aware of his existence. At this point, it is probably obvious where I'm going with this — but just think about it. Because this point really shoots a hole in the already torn-up argument given by the religious. We gain information via the senses, and obviously no god has made any attempt to reach us humans (we can only be reached when we have sensory input). Perhaps I should clarify what I mean, no god has made an attempt to reach us humans which is beyond the capacity of hallucination (something which we know exists). If a god really wanted people to know about him (or her), he would reach all people (he/she is all-powerful remember). Believers will claim that a god has reached us with prophets. But these prophets always seem to come across as being mentally disturbed. As I have said many times: "Christians have faith that no-one during biblical-times had schizophrenia". Of course ignorant man would not understand hallucination, and would view it has "holy" or whatever. Do the religious really expect people to believe the preaches given by those which appear insane? If the religious think this is enough evidence, then they expect the logical to do the impossible.

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours"


– Stephen Roberts


This is one of my favorite quotes.
