Atheism = Communism? Really huh?

While surfing the web, I stumbled in this site and I just like to share this to all of you. It was posted on a Manila-based Christian site called  MANILA MINISTRY PART 2  Message to the Nation  The Family's involvement in Filipino Politics 

According to the site...

"Pardon me...We need to study "nothing?"

"The study of theology, as it stands in the Christian churches, is the study of

nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no

authority; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no

conclusion." - Thomas Paine

I have read this article in the Business World (May 11) and this was written by Fr. Roy Cimagala (See: We need to study theology by Fr. Roy Cimagala May 11, 2005 )

Let the Atheist From QC Answer This Catholic Apologist From Marikina City (Part 1)

Obviously, this came from a Catholic mind and mind me, the arguments presented are very typical. So let me just explore this "apologist's from Marikina" arguments.

Just like a good Catholic, he starts the argument using Thomas Aquinas' Five Ways...

A Pinoy Atheist in Manila ( A short introduction of history)

 "The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination." - Don Williams, Jr. (American Novelist and Poet, b.1968) .

"Let your mind start a journey thru a strange new world. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you where you long to be...Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar, and you'll live as you've never lived before."

- Erich Fromm quotes (German born American social Philosopher and Psychoanalyst, 1900-1980)

What do you think will be the life of a non believer in a world where almost 99% of the population believes in a supernatural Big Daddy in the sky? It's not easy.

My story begins like any typical Filipino story. I was born and raised in a Roman Catholic family that took religion for granted. It's a typical scenario for most Filipino families. Going to church seems to be just a weekend obligation, a Sunday ritual. Roman Catholicism seems to be taken for granted. If you will look at a typical Sunday here in the Philippines, many people attend church service to pray. Well, not all Filipinos really take a damn about church doctrines and dogmas, but going to church is a tradition and Filipinos are known to be very religious.

I Support Pride

Today marks another loss in religion's battle to hold back the forces of humanity, compassion and progress. But most importantly, today is a day to celebrate love.

A typical straw-man against atheism.

James Smiley Bishop?

(Knocking: Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock)

Do you wanna build a strawman?

Come on lets go and play

I never see you anymore

Come out the door

It's like you've gone away-

We used to be best buddies

And now we're not

I wish you would tell me why!-

Do you wanna build a strawman?

It doesn't have to be a strawman.

Thank you!

Salamat po sa inyo... really... I do appreciate it.

Messianic prophesy (Daniel 9: 24 – 27)

If you don't know, this so-called prophesy sounds convincing…Unfortunately, problems abound.
Daniel 9:24-27
24Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

25Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

26And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

27And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Ashes to Ashes...dust to...clay?

So the Bible says that we are all created from dirt. If we die, we return from dirt. And that suppose to prove the Bible’s so-called “scientific foreknowledge”.

Really?

Wishful Thinking

Wishful thinking is not synonymous with facts.

An open and honest answer to Mr. Awa’s post

Bro Francis lies for Christ (Misconception in Evolution)

Lying for Christ again?

Now, here a certain Bro Francis insist that evolution is of random chance [ Random collisions between molecules – given enough time ] yet deliberately cancelled out the issue concerning Natural Selection.

To think that evolution is of random chance is a misconception in the evolutionary process, which sadly, the good Bro Francis has intentionally omitted.

You don't want me to rule the world?

You don't want to be a Christian? You don't want Jesus to rule this world? This is how Jesus answer the question... and some of his gooks took this literally.

"But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring them here and kill them in front of me." - Luke 19:27

Ang "dios" ay basal?

Ayon kay Philip Broso: "may kasabihan ang iba na "TO SEE IS TO BELIEVE".. e nakikita ba ng tao ang iniisip ng kapwa nila? ung mga tao na ayaw maniwala na may Dios, mamamatay na lang, "to see is to believe" pa rin."

Pinoy Atheist: Ano po ba ang problema ng argumento na ito?
