    Reasons to be a Skeptic – Not an Atheist

    I have never much cared for the label “atheism”. This is not just because of the baggage and connotations that come with it, but also because, as many have argued, it is a label that describes a negative. If we labelled ourselves just on what we did not believe, we’d be weighed down with having...

    Ideology vs Philosophy: Sam Harris, Cenk Uygur, and the importance of honest actors

    [Apologies in advance if this thread is miscategorized. It has elements of a religious debate, political debate, and a philosophical discussion.

His view can be summed up using the following quote from Paul: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for...
