  4. I can love another adult without feeling guilty about it.

  5. I can explore life and the world in the way that I want to.

  6. I can think for myself and without any restrictions

Fear NOT!

Fear is the basic building block with which all religions that have been invented by man are constructed with. And make no mistake, ALL religions have been constructed by men - except those constructed by women of course. But I don't know of any that have been constructed by women. If you are aware of them, do let me know.  Fear "Believe this, or you will have a terrible life" Fear "Believe this, or  after you die, you will rot in hell for all eternity"  And as soon as they can get away with it (and every religion will say this), "believe this or we will KILL you".  Without that fear no religion would ever exist. And that fear is the same whether today, you are a Jew Christian, Muslim or follow any other of the 1000's of religions in existence today. Remember too that there are dozens of religions that come in and out of existence every year, all pushing the same message of fear.  And that fear followers feel now is no doubt the same fear felt by f...

A Challenge to Believers

Image
If you are SO convinced that God exists, and that God is all powerful, and that God performs miracles, and that God answers your prayers, try this challenge. Take a feather and seal it into an airtight glass jar. Now, compose a prayer, asking God to prove to you they exist, by lifting that feather ONE CENTIMETRE off the bottom of the jar and holding it there for ten seconds while you film it on your phone. What do you think will happen? Let me tell you.   That feather will not move. You can pray however you want. You can pray hard, or you can pray soft. You can pray aloud, or you can pray silently. But no matter how you pray. That feather will not move. You can pray for a second, a minute, an hour, a day, a week, a month, or even for a year, and. That feather will not move. If you don’t think you are praying correctly, ask the worship leader of your religion (Priest, Rabbi, Imam etc) to pray with you and guess what? That feather will not move. You can also ask the...

What's it All About Then?

As Tony Hancock might have said 'I've had a dose of just about every God going!'.  In my case that is very true.  Born into a Catholic family, I went to a Catholic primary school, an Anglican secondary school and in between primary and secondary school, I was in a care home run by a couple of very fervent United Reform Church Christians. I have worked in synagogues, trained as a Spiritualist Medium and many years I attended a Unitarian Church run by an atheist minister. I am also an ordained Minister (in the Universal Life Church) and hold a degree in Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method from one of the toughest philosophy departments in the world. And these days, I am a keen member of the National Secular Society.  But when I look around where I live, and I see lots of utterly miserable people, who all have one thing in common. They are all religious. As well as being miserable, they are also very angry. Despite this many feel the need to continue to ensnare more beli...
