"Our belief is not a belief. Our principles are not a faith. We do not rely solely upon science and reason, because these are necessary rather than sufficient factors, but we distrust anything that contradicts science or outrages reason."
--Christopher Hitchens
"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."
--Albert Einstein
"Atheism is not a philosophy; it is not even a view of the world; it is simply an admission of the obvious. In fact, "atheist" is a term that should not ever exist. No one ever needs to identify himself as a "non astrologer" or a "non-alchemist". We do not have words for people who doubt that Elvis is still alive or that aliens traversed the galaxy only to molest ranchers and their cattle. Atheism is nothing more than the noises reasonable people make in the presence of unjustified religious beliefs. An atheist is simply a person who believes that the 260 million Americans (87 percent of the population) claiming to "never doubt the existence of God" should be obliged to present evidence for his existence-and, indeed, for his BENEVOLENCE, given the relentless destruction of innocent human beings we witness in the world each day."
--Sam Harris, "Letter to a Christian Nation"
"Faith is a cop-out. It is intellectual bankruptcy. If the only way you can accept an assertion is by faith, then you are conceding that it can't be taken on its own merits."
--Dan Barker, former evangelist, author, critic
"When I became convinced that the universe is natural, that all the ghosts and gods are myths, there entered into my brain, into my soul, into every drop of my blood the sense, the feeling, the joy of freedom. The walls of my prison crumbled and fell. The dungeon was flooded with light and all the bolts and bars and manacles became dust. I was no longer a servant, a serf, or a slave. There was for me no master in all the wide world, not even in infinite space. I was free--free to think, to express my thoughts--free to live my own ideal, free to live for myself and those I loved, free to use all my faculties, all my senses, free to spread imagination's wings, free to investigate, to guess and dream and hope, free to judge and determine for myself . . . I was free! I stood erect and fearlessly, joyously faced all worlds."
--Robert G. Ingersoll
"Although the time of death is approaching me, I am not afraid of dying and going to Hell or (what would be considerably worse) going to the popularized version of Heaven. I expect death to be nothingness and, for removing me from all possible fears of death, I am thankful to atheism."
--Isaac Asimov, "On Religiosity," Free Inquiry ††

The Third Eye!
Some of you might be familiar with the concept of the third eye? some of you might not have ever heard of it? Most of those who do know about it, they know that the third eye is a symbol of the ancient cult namely the illuminatis. The third eye also known has the 'All seeing eye' is one of the major symbols of the cult. It shows that the cult keeps an eye out on everything and everyone, keeping tabs, information on pretty much everyone!
As far as regarding the symbol of the third eye, even the illuminatis have adopted it from it's original concept and meaning. In life, people may go around and say that his third eye is open, but what does it mean when he says that?
The third eye is a symbol of intellect, intelligence, understanding, seeing, believing as well as learning! Basically saying, that most peoples third eye is closed, meaning they do not use their mind to think, to see, to understand the truth of reality for what it is, per say idiots, retarded, ignorant people.
And the people who is said to have the third eye opened are usually called the 'Awaken Ones'. They see life for what it is, they see the truth, they see the facts, they realize facts from fiction, they understand, they see all that is there for mankind to understand. They understand what the world is! who we are! and all of what is possible by man that he can do!
A man can awake himself. He can see the path for himself, he can make and walk is own path, he needs no other to tell him what he should do, for he himself has his own light to show him the way, the way to do good, the way to do better, to help himself and others!
Life is but a journey on this planet, our physical existence tends to die off, but that does not mean that all that is has ended, there is still us, there is still our mind, that lives, that remembers, who we are, who we were!
For most our genetic structure passes on, that is what is almost a copy of us but a little modified. It is only us reliving but with a different brand of salt!

Is God Cruel?
THE GOD OF THE CRUSADERS SENT THEM TO KILL MUSLIMS.
THE GOD OF THE CATHOLICS HAD THEM KILL SCIENTISTS.
THE GOD OF THE PURITANS TOLD THEM TO KILL WITCHES.
THE HINDU GOD IS OK WITH KILLING COW-TIPPERS.
THE GOD OF THE EVANGELISTS TELLS THEM TO KILL PRO-CHOICERS.
THE GOD OF THE ISLAMISTS WANTS THEM TO KILL JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY ELSE.
PITY, THEN, THE POOR NON-BELIEVER, WITH NO GOD TO TELL HIM WHOM TO KILL, HE CAN ONLY PRACTICE PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.

Humanity ( Knowledge is Power ) - Part I
Man, two arms, two legs, your typical human body! What is so great about this creature that it thinks it is absolutely the greatest of all beings that exist on this planet? Is it our power to 'think', 'learn', 'experiment' and 'learn'? to pass on the knowledge that has been accumulated?
Is it not evolution in the works? For evolution itself is the process of learning, organizing, accumulating all the knowledge that has been acquired since the beginning of time itself! From nothing came the Big Bang! from the Big Bang came the basic elements which started making the galaxies, solar systems, the planets, the stars that we see all around us!
This is where the atoms come into action, the basic component of life! the atom itself! It has made all the things that exist around us, we ourselves are the production of atoms working together.
Today we stand on this planet that we have given the name earth! It has a life of its own in its own manner. By our human definition, life is carbon based only! But science says otherwise. Atoms are the basic building blocks, they work on laws of science that are totally different then ours! We cannot even imagine how it all came to be! So far theories have reached upto the multiverse ( parallel universes )?
What will be the next big step? Will science be able to pass through the 'gates' as I call them to go on into other dimensions? Or will it be not allowed by the laws that govern the atom itself! For the result of all that is, matter and antimatter to come into contact, will only result in disaster!
The question that I want to look into is 'why' humans think that they are the 'superior' being in all of this universe. Indeed religious dogma has us believe that we are superior yet we bow down to a maker? If there is a maker, the question arises...who made the maker? And in all of religion, this question is equivalent of blasphemy. Does religion kill peoples logic? That is a question for another time.
For now I say farewell till next time I discuss humanity. If you wish to know my views regarding humanity on some particular subject, do not hesitate to ask!
