Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 18 Mar 19

Matthew 13:44 offers another one line parable disregarded in the other three Gospels. This time Jesus compares the Kingdom of Heaven to buried treasure. A man buries the treasure in a field, but the field itself falls into...

What would a world without religion be like?

John Welford @indexer (4852) • Leicester, England 18 Dec 18

In his famous song "Imagine", John Lennon includes - as part of his idea of perfection - a world "with no religion too". Given that religion has caused millions of unnecessary deaths down the centuries, one might think that this...

Why do you believe in God?

Jared @kimian55 (132) • Alamogordo, New York 8 Aug 18

I personally in God but not the God that religion is trying to tell us. I mean, it could be true that Jesus did come and was really God but his message was already diluted. Same with Islam, it could be...that God sent another...

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 19 Jun 18

Religion is like...

Katt Rocketman @PeachieMew (881) • Cleveland, Ohio 6 Mar 18

An Atheistic Bible Study Of The Gospels The Sadducees

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 27 Feb 18

I have already done a summary feature about the Pharisees, so it seems only fair to explore their main political and religious rivals, The Sadducees. Their bitterness towards one another was sometimes set aside for their mutual...

Pessimism

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 25 Feb 18

If your silver lining has a great big grey cloud in the middle of it, you're a pessimist. Must atheists be optimists? I hope not, for my sake. Mine is clearly a hope-inspiring perspective on life that argues that human beings...

Children And Religion

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 17 Feb 18

How should we tell our children about God, religion, belief, Humanism, and morality? Literature on this subject is rare. Dan Barker’s books Maybe Right, Maybe Wrong, (for young moralists) and Maybe Yes, Maybe No, (for young...

Why I won't argue with atheists

Katt Rocketman @PeachieMew (881) • Cleveland, Ohio 10 Feb 18

God doesn't give a rat's tail if you don't believe in Them, so why should I? They love you and are always looking out for you, whether you want Them to or not.

An Atheistic Bible Study Of The Gospel Sending Forth Of The Apostles

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 6 Dec 17

Jesus no sooner has the twelve Apostles, than he sends them off on their own independent missions, usually in pairs. Their orders are spelt out quite clearly. They are not to attempt to convert Gentiles to Christ worship...
