The Secular-Man Blog (An Oasis of Clear Thinking): Christian style 'Taliban'
http://secularman.blogspot.com/2007/08/christian-style-taliban.html
Thursday, 2 August 2007. The major monotheism's seem to be peaking at this moment in history. But I just think it is a glitch in the trend. It is rather like a 'saw tooth' line on a graph. There are dips and peaks, but the overall trend is upward towards more secular societies. Much of Europe is largely secular and religion is a 'dying breed'. As a society advances it seems to naturally give up on mystical ideas, but some are harder to shake than others. We don't practice alchemy. America seems to be a s...

The Secular-Man Blog (An Oasis of Clear Thinking): Here Come the 'Faith-Heads'
http://secularman.blogspot.com/2007/08/here-come-faith-heads.html
Wednesday, 1 August 2007. Here Come the 'Faith-Heads'. What is faith anyway? To hold a position based on faith. Is really saying that one holds a position devoid of evidence. But of course that is the nature of religion. Religion without faith, would be a very odd kind of religion. Indeed, to the religious mystic, it is somehow more noble to hold a position purely on faith, than it is to present evidence for one's position. We now live in a World that is under attack by religious extremists, who think th...

The Secular-Man Blog (An Oasis of Clear Thinking): Socialism Leads to Sacrifice of the Individual
http://secularman.blogspot.com/2007/07/socialism-leads-to-sacrifice-of.html
Tuesday, 31 July 2007. Socialism Leads to Sacrifice of the Individual. Fails because it is based around a collective ideology and it leads to the sacrifice of the individual to the State. The socialist mentality is based round the premise that there is no such thing as an individual, but rather, each human being is meshed into a unit and that unit should function as a whole. The individual is essentially left out of the equation and sacrificed in favor of the group. State systems such as fascism. Nazi pa...

The Secular-Man Blog (An Oasis of Clear Thinking): Jesus died for Your Sins
http://secularman.blogspot.com/2007/10/jesus-died-for-your-sins.html
Saturday, 13 October 2007. Jesus died for Your Sins. Sacrifice based on apparent sins of others, is perhaps the most disgusting. Of all the monotheistic concepts. The idea that an individual would sacrifice his life for someone Else's. Sin Indeed, I have already commented in another post why sin is a meaningless man invented concept. There is nothing noble or good to the human psyche, in sacrificing one's otherwise healthy ego, in an attempt. Where is the morality in sacrificing oneself for the apparent ...

The Secular-Man Blog (An Oasis of Clear Thinking): The Atkins Diet Good or Bad?
http://secularman.blogspot.com/2007/07/atkins-diet-good-or-bad.html
Monday, 30 July 2007. The Atkins Diet Good or Bad? Is targeted around a balance of carbohydrates and proteins. The Atkins diet, was developed, based on the premise, that the majority of overweight individuals are so, because they are living on high carbohydrate. Fast food diets. they eat too much sugar. Basically they are filling their bodies with fast food and are becoming carbohydrate junkies. The correct balance of proteins. The reason that refined. And sugar are a 'man-made invention' that do not exi...

The Secular-Man Blog (An Oasis of Clear Thinking): Plato's Shadowy Cave
http://secularman.blogspot.com/2007/07/platos-shadowy-cave.html
Monday, 30 July 2007. Believed that we all live in a shadowy cave. What Plato meant in more specific terms, is that every object such as trees, dogs, books etc, has a perfect form within the universe and what we grasp is only a shadow of that perfect form. In reality, what this really means, is that the universe is fundamentally unknowable, because the fundamental form of every physicality of nature, is forever beyond our reach. Ideas that permeate modern society. Indeed, politicians are often big fa...
