Let’s talk about Jose Rizal’s idea of God and religion. This Fb surely doesn’t have the slightest idea about Rizal and his ideas towards religion and God. That is why he taught that he can use Rizal to…well aggravate a Filipino atheist. Let me start with paragraph 1. According to his post Rizal (base on the quote) thinks that religion is a very sacred thing. That’s correct, Rizal is a deeply religious person, but there’s more.  Rizal believes in what he called “Natural Religion.” In his notes... Read Full Story

Habang ako'y naghahanap ng mga kung anu-ano dito sa Internet, ako'y nadaan sa isang blog na sinulat ng sa tingin ko'y isang Catholic defender na may titulong "ATHEISTA KA BA?". Ito ay naisulat noong Abril 8, 2008 ng isang tao na naitatago sa pangalang  fperito at mayroon itong 5 bahagi. Hmmmm...mukhang nasagot ko na ito, ngunit nagtataka lang ako kung bakit mukhang nawawala ata yung ginawa kong kasagutan para dito sa aking blog? Well, due to insisted public demand, aking ulit ibinabalik ang... Read Full Story

Exodus 20:8 vs. Romans 14:5 Isa raw sa nakita nyang maling kontradiksyon na nakasulat sa website ng American Atheists ay ang patungkol sa Exodo 20:8 at sa Taga Roma 14:5. Ang sabi nya... Teka...ano nga ba ang kontradiksyon dito? ( Exodus 20:8-9 ) - "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.  "Six days you shall labor and do all your work, ( Romans 14:5 ) - "One man regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Let each man be fully convinced in his own mind." Ah, yun naman... Read Full Story

Do you know that Jack T. Chick, publisher of those nifty little Christian comics is a religious bigot? Little is known about Jack Chick, a reclusive fundamentalist Christian preacher operating out of Rancho Cucamonga, California, and what little can be gleamed about him is only available on the website of his publishing house, Chick Publications. What is known is the proliferation of tiny, hand drawn comic books, called “Chick Tracts” which he uses to evangelize. The subjects of the tracts... Read Full Story

Here in the Philippines, when we talked about atheism, we get different reactions. Some doesn't mind it while others are bothered that it exists. Just take this post  written by a certain "ragubalane" from the Definitely Filipino blog as an example (Sorry guys, this is written in Pilipino dialect). atheist – (noun) someone who denies the existence of god. they believe in the doctrine that there is no god or gods. atheists groups are now growing. nakakalungkot at nakakatakot isipin na sa...

This is not new. I still remember the issue about Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code. The whole thing went by…nothing really happened. There was also the clamor against the movie The Last Temptation of Christ, remember that one? Today, we hear the same roar all over again. This time, it’s all about an art exhibit in which the Roman Catholic faithful declared as blasphemous. Mideo M. Cruz, an artist with a very peculiar taste, displayed some of his artworks in the Cultural Center of the Philippines... Read Full Story

by Ilving Tabios-Zamora  Sir God: Pour me a drink of wine. Sprinkle it with honey. I want to sing. I love wine when it is flower-sweet. It drums the chest. Like lonely darkness it fulfills all the hankerings of the flesh. Sir God: Pour me another drink. Squeeze bile into it. I want to cry. I love it more when wine is bitter. It makes you sick yet well. You throw up all the pains of the heart. Sir God: Pour me one more. And one more. Then just one more. Blend it with dog's blood. I want to... Read Full Story

(Written in Tagalog) Matagal ng naging kaugalian na ikonekta ang rehiliyon at moralidad. Ito ay nababatay sa paniniwala na ang kagandahang asal ay nakukuha lamang sa turo ng rehiliyon sa pamamagitan ng mga batas na sinasabing inutos ng isang diyos. Kaya hindi na rin nakakapag-taka na makakabasa ka ng mga ganitong uri ng artikulo sa Internet. Ayon sa isang tao nagtatago sa pangalang “samuelcamus”, “Isa sa pinakamahalgang papel na ginagampanan ng pananampalataya’t relihiyon ay ang pagtitimbang... Read Full Story
