With this blog, I hope to help people better understand what atheism is and what it entails. I intend to reveal common logical errors present in many theistic arguments, as well as some moral implications of certain beliefs and my opinions on certain current issues. If any readers happen to realize that their religious beliefs are unjustified or nonsensical, I will consider it a bonus.

About This Blog
Hello, I'm Ryan, and I am an ordained minister within the Universal Life Church, a non-denominational church which takes the stance that what you do is more important than what you believe. I'm an agnostic atheist, and I want more people to understand both what that means and why I take that position. I am not evil, and i don't "hate God." If asked, "Do you hate unicorns?" you would, most likely, respond with an, "Of course not!" Likewise, I do not hate God, I just don't believe he is real. In future posts, I will explain what agnostic atheism is, various reasons I do not believe that a god exists, as well as reasons why I would not worship this god even if he did exist. I hope to discuss popular theistic arguments and fallacies, and ways in which they are flawed, such as the ever-popular Pascal's Wager and the ontological argument. I do not have any scheduled plan for my posts, I won't commit to making posts daily or on scheduled days, but i will try to post at least once a week. Some days, on which I either have extra time or am procrastinating, I may make multiple posts. I will respond to most comments, not including those telling me I'm a sinner or that God loves me. While I understand this may be said with good intentions, I have no way of knowing which imaginary god you are referring to, and the comment is useless to me.

Hey Ryan, I am also an agnostic atheist and would also not worship a god if one were discovered to exist. I think I will find that I am in total agreement with your future arguments :)
ReplyDeleteI was pointed your way and look forward to seeing what you have to say.

ReplyDeleteI know this is wayyyy late for a response, but thanks! :D
I am terribly sorry if this post sounds wrong or if you hate me because of it. I understand if this makes you mad or if you call me an idiot. I want you to know I am praying for you Ryan. Yes I am a Christian. I am. I see where your posts and arguments come from, but nothing this blog says makes a ton of sense to me. I am sorry if that sounds bad. I have never met you and I never will but know I will be praying for you. God loves you, I want you to know that.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you
