Your Atheist Friend's Blog. The End Of My Faith Story Part Two →. The End Of My Faith Story – Part One. Posted by Clark D. I was in urban public schools for all twelve grades, so I was exposed to many people from other cultures and religions. Although almost all of my closest school friends were self-identified “CNE Christians” (non-practicing Christians who only go to church on Christmas and Easter). Who cares if they’re Muslim or Hindu or Atheist? Alas, this was not how my church operated. It was f...

Your Atheist Friend's Blog. There’s Crap in the Bible. Posted by Clark D. In my last blog post. I made the argument that it’s important to try to evaluate moral questions objectively (as much as that is possible) and, to the extent that something is objectively good, it should be promoted to other people. For example, it’s good to aggressively and unwaveringly promote the idea that spousal abuse is bad, but it’s absurd to promote the idea that apples taste better than bananas. But of course, that’s an ex...

https://unmagicalsecularholiday.com/2014/05/07/promoting-objective-worldviews
Your Atheist Friend's Blog. There’s Crap in the Bible →. Posted by Clark D. In my last blog post I mostly compared worldviews as if they were subjective personal choices like ice cream flavours. And in the same way that I have a favourite ice cream flavour (praline) I also have a favourite worldview (Secular Humanism). For my own reasons I think that both of these things are right for me. These are subjective choices. In order to use practical examples, I’ll try to apply this framework to three different...

Your Atheist Friend's Blog. Being an Atheist at a Christian Funeral. LGBT and the Church →. Young People Leaving the Church. Posted by Clark D. Many churches have said the same thing: if people are not coming to church, it must be because we are not communicating what we are really. About Churches – at least the ones I’m familiar with – are quick to humbly take the blame and claim that they need to change focus, undo past wrongs and even completely rebuild themselves. Scientologists believe that their Th...

Your Atheist Friend's Blog. Young People Leaving the Church. Posted by Clark D. Of course the trend of shrinking churches is not universal. Outside of North America and Europe, the church might even be growing and here in North America there are some congregations and some denominations of Christianity that show signs of growth. But in “the west” the overall trend is clear, and it has been going on for decades already with no sign of slowing down. Scientologists believe that their Thetan has been trapped...
