Site renovation

To all our esteemed visitors, friends, enemies, flybys, followers, we wish to inform you this site is closed for renovations as all our employees have taken leave of absence to attend to mythical matters.

We take this earliest opportunity to wish you all happy holidays. For those celebrating Christmas, it makes me sense to celebrate my birthday because at least, it is verifiable. There are hospital records that prove it. That other fellow, it’s a story.

Thank you for your contributions to making this site an interesting place to be. 

Happy holidays

Quotable quotes

From the word god, the theist derived no argument in his favour; it teaches nothing, defines nothing, demonstrates nothing, explains nothing.

I have been busy lately writing a term paper that leaves little time to blog or visit your wonderful blogs. So in the meantime, you can watch the documentary below and others in the series. I will be a minute.

Should infidels send their children to Sunday school?

Many times, it has been suggested to me that I should let my children go to church and learn about god. They add they will have a choice to believe or quit as I did. My corollary has been why not let them grow without superstition and if they should become religious as adults, it’s because they were not as intelligent as their parents? Whoever goes looking for a toothache just so they can in future say it is not a good thing to have?

The great agnostic, Robert Ingersoll, said this on the subject

My advice to all Agnostics is to keep their children from the orthodox Sunday schools, from the orthodox churches, from the poison of the pulpits.

Teach your children the facts you know. If you do not know, say so. Be as honest as you are ignorant. Do all you can to develop their minds, to the end that they may live useful and happy lives.

Strangle the serpent of superstition that crawls and hisses about the cradle. Keep your children from the augurs, the soothsayers, the medicine-men, the priests of the supernatural. Tell them that all religions have been made by folks and that all the “sacred books” were written by ignorant men.

Teach them that the world is natural. Teach them to be absolutely honest. Do not send them where they will contract diseases of the mind — the leprosy of the soul. Let us do all we can to make them intelligent.

and I agree with him.

I thought you should know we have a few not so tall buildings and many of us ride bikes :). Soon we will evolve to cars and other means of modern locomotion.
