Introducing My Thoughts

Alessa, the writer behind My Thoughts, provides members of the Atheist blogroll an introduction to her blog. Enjoy. 

I'm an aspiring writer with a secular worldview; an advocate of rational thought. I have created this blog with the determination to promote critical thinking to the public. Although I feel that everyone is entitled to believe what they want - as long as nobody suffers from it - I also think that there is an intellectual and moral emergency where religion is concerned; one that needs to be addressed by those who can offer a sensible solution without calling upon the words of Scripture.The Atheist community needs to come together in unity and purpose. Please join me in embracing this wonderful natural world of ours with the reverence it deserves; accrediting its success to you and me, and not to a deity.

Please drop in and say hi.

Belief in God is reasonable. If you track back to the first cause you must end up at the phenomenon of existence. It always was. Nothing else can exist without it. There is existence beyond the universe or the universe could not have come into existence. Time and space only exist in the Universe so existence does not require the elements of time and space to exist. Nothing can begin or end without existence. Existence is the first, most pure form, the alpha. In Biblical times Moses was introduced to a phenomenon claiming to be the " I Am. The One who is." I don't think writers in biblical times were knowledgeable enough in physics, astronomy to make up that description of God. I believe that God is existence and everything exists through Him. I think many have trouble understanding God because it is too simple for their complicated intellectual minds. They need God to be too complicated for anyone but the intellectual elitists to understand and if they can't understand Him then He must not exist.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You're entitled to believe what you want. I prefer that which can be proved scientifically, or at least logically - I do not find supernatural entities logical.

"I think many have trouble understanding God because it is too simple for their complicated intellectual minds"

Many people also claim to "know" the mind of god and what he wants of us. They know who god wants us to have sex with, what to eat, when to worship etc.

Replace the word "God" with "Invisible Pink Unicorn", and your claims to the nature of the universe would still be as valid.

"Claims that cannot be tested, assertions immune to disproof are veridically worthless, whatever value they may have in inspiring us or in exciting our sense of wonder. What I'm asking you to do comes down to believing, in the absence of evidence, on my say-so." Carl Sagan, The Demon- Haunted world (pg 171, The Dragon in My Garage)
