Everything Is Nothing
If perception is truth, then there’s no such thing as truth.

Rene Descartes once posited that the only proof that we exist is the fact that we are conscious of ourselves thinking. His famous quote, “Cogito, ergo sum” (I think, therefore I am) has a great deal of meaning for those of us who are constantly in search of the meaning of life. I have already posited that life has no intrinsic meaning outside of what you choose to give it. In this post, I’ll go a step further to demonstrate why there is no such thing as truth.

What’s the point of it all?
God is the correct answer to a silly question.

This fantastic sight wasn’t created. It evolved that way. The NGC 1672 Spiral Galaxy © Hubble Telescope.
A young woman confronted me recently about my last post. She was angry at me because it made sense. All her life, even though she doesn’t subscribe to any particular religion, she still wanted to believe that somewhere out there, there was something more than the life that we have. Apparently she was dissatisfied with how her life turned out and hoped that there was something more. So I conceded that yes, there is something more, but it is probably not spiritual. She was furious: “Why not?” She prodded. “How else can we explain our existence if there isn’t some grand purpose to it?” This post is my answer to her question.

The Higgs Boson: Why the ‘God’ Particle won’t quell Religion
Now that we’ve found the creator in a laboratory, can we stop believing in this religious nonsense?
— Xenocrates
Unless you were living under a rock for the last 72 hours, it is inescapable that you’ve heard the news. Scientists working at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva have finally discovered the particle that for the last 38 years has been theorized as being responsible for conferring mass to subatomic particles. In layman’s terms, it is the particle that is responsible for the creation of the universe. So that ultimately begs a very crucial question: Now that we’ve found the universe’s creator in a laboratory, can we stop believing in this religious nonsense?

The Infidel’s Guide To Islam (3 of 3) — Islamic Governance
According to Islamic law, freedom and democracy are punishable vices.
— Xenocrates
Sharia Law is notoriously brutal — especially to women.
As Islam exploded across North Africa and Southern Europe, engulfing the Byzantine Empire to the west and the Arabian peninsula to the east, it became entrenched in several sovereign states in these regions, retaining much of the primitive ideologies of the day, which includes systems of governance and law which have been notorious for their misogyny and brutality.

The Infidel’s Guide to Islam (2 of 3) — The Anatomy of Jihad
According to the Qur’an, there’s no such thing as a Muslim Extremist.
—Xenocrates
This is the true intention of Islam. Anything else is a pacifist lie.
I’ve always wondered if Muhammad were still alive, if he would have wept over what all these modern day Islamic governments have done to their people and how they may have misread, misinterpreted or utterly misconstrued his teachings. He originally set out to unify all Arabia. They in turn invented Sharia law and justification for flying passenger jets into office buildings. Now western governments have tried to appease Islamic moderates by suggesting that Islam has no political agenda. Take a long hard look at the picture above. This is far from the truth.
