On Vacation

As of tomorrow (Wednesday, Sept 15), I’ll be on vacation for a couple of weeks. Therefore, I will likely not be doing a lot of writing here for a little while. Then again, you never know – I imagine my evenings will be quiet so…

Just don’t expect much!

And to all of you would-be thieves, there are people staying in my home while I’m away. :)

Ciao for now!

One Response to “On Vacation”

    I think you’ve done a fair job of representing the evidence supporting atheism. But as an atheist myself, I think there’s much more you can explore.
    For instance, what is the real conversation? Is it one of competing facts or is it really more emotionally driven? We would like to think that we first look at data and then come to conclusions, but largely, this is not so. What happens in many cases is we come to the party already convinced of something ‘obvious’ and then sift through whatever is on offer and find supporting elements. “She loves me.” “I’m good at what I do.” “The Universe looks authored.”
    Some of the best examples of just how intractable our beliefs are can be found in psychology – things like blind-sight and phantom limbs. This is the interesting part of the subject for me. Not that I am right and someone else is wrong, but how is it that there are even two (or more) positions? After all, we do not argue about so many other things — we all seem to pretty much agree on an overwhelming portion of how the world works.
    And in this exploration, I am able to partly see my own biases and ‘things I just know’ for what they are.

    I'm here to help doubting believers let go of their fear and guilt, to provide an example of an atheist leading a happy, moral and fulfilling life, and to connect with fellow non-believers. Welcome!
