Debate on Religion

Here’s an interesting debate between an atheist and a conservative talk show host. I have to say it’s hard not to be biased in favor of the atheist. After all, debates are for rational discussion – and while the believer did try his darndest to rationalize his faith, everyone knows it’s simply impossible… that’s why it’s called faith bub.

Now after acknowledging the advantage the atheist had over the believer, I still have to say that the atheist still wins the debate. He didn’t really have to exert himself too much, yet he still was able to utterly destroy any argument the believer had.

Despite the fact that the setting seems to be on uneven ground – this debate certainly is good for raising awareness on how ridiculous structured religion can get. The reason why I’m at odds with my (and any other) “faith” isn’t because it proposes the existence of a supreme being, but because of the arrogance it tends to exude when presenting the idea. To claim anything definitive about something they clearly do not understand, and worse, to govern worlds by it is really preposterous.

Scientology

For some odd reason, I found myself wiki-ing the religion which is called Scientology. I guess I saw an RSS feed somewhere discussing how it’s founder was a lunatic, but since I was on the subject, I figured to finally find out what this “Scientology,” which a bunch of high-profile Hollywood people were converting to.

At first I really thought it was the belief in technology or Science (duh). Like how everything can be explained Scientifically (e.g. no invisible all-knowing man who lives up in the sky), that sort of stance. But what I had found was totally different. And I actually had fun digging and searching for more info about it.

Not because it made sense, but quite the opposite: it was utterly ridiculous.

Everyone knows the story about The Tower of Babel right?

We all know about the lessons to be learned there – its listed in the Wiki too if ever you don’t know what lessons are to be learned. I recall the story however, not just because I was watching some anime that pertained to it, but I suddenly realized something really off-tangent.
