Definitions of Atheism

by Alex Aldrin on

Does Atheism Deny God? – “Definitions of Atheism”

Is atheism a “disbelief” or a “belief”?

Some definitions are presented here, along with info on Negative (weak) atheism and Positive (strong) atheism.

This is the first in a short series of videos titled “Does Atheism Deny God?”

Does Atheism Deny God?

by Alex Aldrin on

Does Atheism Deny God? – “Yes, It Should!”

This video makes a case for atheists to actively deny god, rather than just claim “there isn’t enough evidence”.

The distinction between weak atheism and strong atheism is noted, and as an example, the book by Victor Stenger “God, the Failed Hypothesis: How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist” is noted.

This is the 3rd and last video in the series “Does Atheism Deny God?”.

Guilt at Removing Faith

Guilt at Removing Faith

If I had a chance to completely demolish someone’s faith, would I take it? I think religious belief is wrong. But would I change someone if I had the chance? I don’t know. Would you? Watch this video for more thoughts on this topic, and please leave your feedback.

Nothing to Offer – The Emptiness of Atheism

This video is called “Nothing to Offer”, and is part of the “Emptiness of Atheism” series of videos.

The “Emptiness of Atheism” video series is a group of videos I am doing about consequences of being an atheist. There are consequences to being an atheist which aren’t covered much by atheists, partly because I don’t think they think about them very much.

The one I will cover in this video I am calling – “Nothing to Offer”.


No Larger Meaning – The Emptiness of Atheism

The one I will cover in this video I am calling – “no larger meaning” or “no ultimate meaning”.

Atheist Formed by a Cloud of Space Dust:
An Atheist Pondering His Origins

“An Atheist Pondering His Origins” – in this video I share an insight I had about how I formed from a cloud of space dust over some 5 billion years.

In addition I note the stark difference between this vision of my origins provided by science and that offered by religions.

From dust to dust… some power in the universe organizes me, and then disperses me, with time being one of the primary factors.


The Hero Savior of Vietnam

by Alex Aldrin on

“The Hero Savior of Vietnam” – The Burden of Proof

This is a story I found on the internet, by Richard Carrier. It was included in his article “Why I Am Not a Christian” (2006).

I though it was worth sharing because of its relevance to “the burden of proof” for evaluating extraordinary claims, and extraordinary stories. Note: this is not my story, but is from Richard Carrier.

This article is located at: http://infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/whynotchristian.html#herosavior

I would highly recommend any books by Richard Carrier, particularly his newest: On the Historicity of Jesus: Why We Might Have Reason for Doubt

Atheism Has No Answers

by Alex Aldrin on

Atheism Has No Answers (It’s kind of scary being an Atheist)

People who like answers, especially easy answers, don’t normally gravitate towards atheism.

People who want a lot of answers and like the surety of their beliefs will be horrified at the emptiness of atheism.
