How Religion Misinterprets Natural Wonder
Religious believers often look at nature with awe and think that it is God’s work.
They think this is a proof of God.
I think that what they are seeing, is not God, but their OWN connection to the natural world, they are seeing a reflection of themselves… Not God
I am talking about those times when you see something in nature and you are left almost breathless… when you are stunned by the amazing beauty of an animal or part of nature.
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” – 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
Atheist Video One Million and One (… but this one is different!)
I thought I might qualify as atheist video one million and one for this particular video… but I’m not sure that I have.
I think that there are probably more than that out there about atheism and atheists.
It is just amazing how much is out there.
I have been watching videos about atheism and atheists for a few years now.
I Wish Religion Were True
“I wish religion were true, in the sense that it had some answers that could actually tell me the truth of what life was all about.”
“I understand the emotion that drives religious belief.”
“There is a lack in an atheist viewpoint that doesn’t have deep meaning”

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.
