Why You Should be a Gnostic Atheist

I was thinking the other day and it seems to me that throughout the entirety of humanity's stay on Earth, we've been grappling with the mysterious. At the very least we've been struggling with it for 10 thousand years and in that time, we have not objectively verified one damned thing about the supernatural! There isn't one single piece of tangible, verifiable, empirical evidence to speak of. This should a be an overwhelming reason for any grown, educated adult to outright reject any superstitious claim or belief. Period. The absence of evidence is itself evidence.

Euthinasia

I believe in assisted suicide. If you do not have the right to your own death, then your basic human rights have not been fully granted.

Free Will is Bullshit (and God is Evil)

Chris said it best, although I happened to simultaneously think of something similar. He said "I have free will because I have no choice."

Free Will is an abstract concept. It's vaguely defined. That makes it immeasurable. How then do you demonstrate it's real?

Here's my response to religion when it says God respects free will (besides mentioning the instances in the bible where God forcefully interferes with peoples free will):

"If free will causes us to do evil and if free will is sacred to god, than evil is sacred to god, therefore god is evil."
