“Atheists reject Religion because they secretly embrace the idea that death defeats karma.”
- Xenocrates
here’s nothing more profoundly silly than advocating disbelief in possible phenomena simply because they cannot be logically quantified. There’re a many things wrong with this ideology and it is inextricably bound to the innate arrogance of mankind. We’re so dangerously confident about our logic that we are often tempted to think it is fool proof. It’s this God complex that we’ve developed along the way that seems to inherently blind us to our ignorance. In fact, most Atheists are a perfect exemplification of this. They’re the type of people who’ve only proven a few things to be false, or have offered a rational explanation for a number of things and like a kid who solved his first math problem, went on a problem solving binge to reason away all of the vacuous things that have plagued humanity. Then, in a desperate attempt to validate their arrogance, they go around the world picking fights with silly theists who can’t prove left from right, like a bully who only picks fights with weaklings. Now I know that religion has its issues (heck, I dedicated four posts solely to tearing apart the false teachnigs in Christianity). However, atheism often makes all the same mistakes that religion does. This one is dedicated to all the people out there who believe that they’re so right that they can’t possibly be wrong.
“In the absence of proof, Truth is relative.”

officially hate Mormons. I don’t hate them as much as I hate extremist Muslims, or charismatic Christians, but Mormons really piss me off. Of all the people who are willing to go door to door to sell their crooked fairy tale belief system for 50 cents a pop (Jehovah’s Witnesses, I’m talking about you), Mormons are the single most arrogant, self-righteous, delusional, looney bunch of crackerjack sons of pimps I have ever met. Not only do these sock cuckers claim to believe what traditional Christians believe, they think they’ve got the rest of the story nobody else supposedly has. Apparently, some retard named Joseph Smith claims he bore witness to Jesus in America and become prophet of the faith to the new world… some two thousand years later. Now these same father, multiple mothered, half-sibling, inbreds claim that they’re the one true church. Now that means anyone, Christian or otherwise, (even if you’ve accepted Jesus) who doesn’t subscribe to their specific pseudo-christian teachings, is bound to miss out on the luau in Utah… er… heaven (or wherever the fork these scrawny white boys come from). I had the privilege of meeting with two of these retards, and I must say, their level of stupidity (never mind their profound incapacity to reason) is worthy of the Guiness Book of Records. The story goes like this…
“All knowledge is based on the assumption that the product of our senses is real.”
- Xenocrates
What is knowledge? How do we define what it is that we’ve come to know? How do we express what we think we believe? What makes it valid? On what grounds do we make the separation between what is faith and what is proof? The theory of knowledge underscores all of these questions. However, the unfortunate reality is that knowledge as most people understand it, is nothing more than a cultural approximation of information determined by individual perceptions. Most of what you know has very little useful purpose outside of the environment where you learned it. It is a tragic waste of brain cells, and in worst case scenarios, a potential waste of human life where that information is interpreted differently. Humanity’s hunger for knowledge both creates and decimates human existence - although I’m led to believe it’s more of the latter than the former. The following epiphanies examine the flimsy basis on which we define knowledge. As far as I know, these are all my own original thoughts:
“Anything is justifiable in the name of religion.”

Over the last couple of months, my blog entries have focused on the lies most ubiquitously propagated by religion. I’ve sought to explain this phenomenon through analyzing the responses I’ve gotten from many folks - particularly those who’ve responded to me in person. From talking to these people, I’ve established a most discernable pattern: The average person is a linear thinker. They tend to accept most ideas at face value and interpret most problems using the most conspicuous parameters defined by that problem. They assume that the underlying premise is true so long as it appears to make sense - whether or not it actually does. This is why people believe so many of the highly illogical and perhaps even nonsensical things they do - especially as it relates to religion. In this entry, I will discuss some of the core ideas we’ve come to know in religion and how we can use critical thinking to expose the illogical nature of these teachings. You will see that deception is more of a science than an art and you will understand why it is used to snare the minds of the simple minded.
“Religions persist because most people prefer to be told what to believe.”
- Xenocrates
Most of the world’s religions, including Christianity, can be traced back to the same sources, causes and primary elements that were passed down from generation to generation - each adding their own twist to a growing mythology. This, the final chapter of Christianity on Trial will attempt to critically examine almost everything you’ve come to believe in with merciless, academic precision. I will clinically reduce it’s core concepts to elementary causation and systematically expose it for what it really is. When I’m done, I dare you to continue believing what you believe. This post will succinctly reaffirm every ounce of doubt you ever had and cause you here on after, to think like I do - never taking anything you hear for granted ever again. Can you handle the truth? Are you ready to see what I want to show you?

“Two billion people believing the same lie doesn’t make it any less of a lie.”
- Xenocrates
One of the key dangers of religion is the fact that it operates based on lack of proof. This means that anyone can reinvent religious dogma and people will still buy it, because it doesn’t need proof for credibility. So imagine a church congregation packed with believers who’ve just sung a heart warming hymn. It is now that time in the service for the sermon to be ministered. The preacher steps up to the podium and proceeds to elucidate the congregation about things in the Bible they probably already know about. However, today, he decides to take a few liberties with the text, spinning his own version of the “truth” to the audience. Nobody in the congregation knows any better, since they assume that the pastor must know what he’s talking about. Everybody just nods “amen” until the altar call and the service wraps. They close their Bibles, go home, and forget at least half of what was said earlier that day. It is those who don’t forget and dare to question the pastor’s logic who are often considered outcasts and heretics. How dare you think differently? They are told: “Don’t question it! Just have faith! God moves in mysterious ways…blah, blah, blah“… Stop me if this is sounding all too familiar.
If you can identify with anything in the above paragraph, then this post is for you. Read on, wayfaring stranger.
“To believe without reason, is to live without purpose.”
- Xenocrates
I’ve always wondered why Christianity has so many different sects and denominations. Every congregation that I visit has a new spin on the same system of belief. It’s like experiencing a culture shock at each congregation I visit. There are so many philosophical differences, that people literally grow up blindly subscribing to one ideology that they think is right as opposed to another - which they often think is unchristian. Christianity is so divided, that it’s division is more conspicuous than its unity. But there’s a lot more wrong with the whole system other than just that. Follow me for a moment while I discuss some of the more disturbing things about this the most popular faith (or con?) on earth.
“Religion is the staple of the gullible as like superstition, common sense is its greatest enemy.”
- Xenocrates
You ever wonder why you go to church and see so many unattractive, single people? Have you ever wondered where all the hot womem / men are? Better yet, why is it that so many churches are populated by mostly women? Where are the rest of the men? Do you ever wonder why some of the most ignorant or superstitious people are also found in religious circles? Why are religious people (irrespective of their religion of choice) so inclined to extremist behaviour? Are you one of those people that these questions have occurred to but you’ve conveniently ignored? There’s a very good reason for all of this, and it takes it’s root from a fundamental ‘flaw’ in human nature:
“Religion seems more suited for purposes of comfort rather than practicality.”
- Xenocrates
Every religious pundit has their own justification for not comitting sin. The justifications will sometimes agree, but most of the times it is a war of who’s more righteous than the other. What amuses me is that most of the times, the idiots fail to realise that sin is as much a part of human nature as sex. You’re not human if you don’t sin and sinning is inextricably inevitable. It’s like they expect people to become super men and women by subscribing to some religious philosophy. No matter how much I believe I can fly, jumping off a cliff will still cause me to paint the rocks below me all different shades of red. 
Religious philosophy if anything only makes people more aware of the fact that they’re human. The danger in these systems is that they create so much pressure on people to adhere to these standards, that people tend to forget that we’re all bad guys by default (hence why we needed Jesus in the first place). It is human nature to be evil - that’s why we often describe pleasurable things as being “decadent” and “sinful” - as if pleasure in an of itself is a bad thing. If sin is pleasurable (a = b) and God designed human beings to enjoy pleasure (b = c), then just like how a = c, God designed humans to sin! Isn’t that just… wonderfully liberating? 
“Most religions are based on the assumption that opinion is the same as fact.”
- Xenocrates
Which is the right religion? Is that even a valid question? When you consider the possible ramifications, the possibilities are staggering. How does someone who feels they need to add some sense of spirituality to their lives even begin to go about narrowing down their choices? We already know why religion exists - or at least, we know what the motivations for the creation of religion are. We covered that in the last post which described the true nature of God. But really, how does one even begin where this is concerned? Before you do that, we need to quickly examine to schools of thought where this is concerned; namely that of Religion and of a Philosophical Way of life. If you think that the two ideas are the same, then you’ve been grossly misinformed:
