Common Questions Asked to Atheists ( And Answering Them)

Today we shall be looking at some common questions people ask atheists and answering them. There are quite a few of them so for now we will only be looking at the most common ones. Let’s begin shall we? 

Q1. Where do you get your morality from if you don’t believe? 

Just because I don’t believe doesn’t mean I don’t have morals. It simply means that my morality and ethics isn’t derived from a holy object. As humans, we all have morals and that’s what make us human in the first place.

 Q2. You’re life must be so empty? 

No, there are plenty of things that are important to us that make up a huge part of our lives. Like family, goals, friends, career etc. Emptiness is when there is no aim in life, that’s when everything seems lost and forgotten.

Q3. What if you’re wrong? 

Well it’s fine even if I am wrong. And I don’t think it’s punishable for someone to look for answers themselves and completely understand their own beliefs. This is just a by product of free will and thinking and I don’t think that’s an offense that should be punished.

 Q4. Do you worship the Devil then?

No, that’s actually contradicting with the very idea of atheism. We do not believe in anything as of such be it positive or negative. Every one is entitled to their own beliefs and no one should be judged on the basis of belief.  

Q5. So is your family also atheist or... ? 

Like I said before, everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, just because I am atheist doesn’t mean my loved ones are. I respect and appreciate them for who they are and so do they.

Q6. Why are you so angry at belief? 

We aren’t angry at belief. I don’t know about other atheists but I am speaking for myself on this, I feel that everyone is allowed to believe in what they want to believe and discrimination on the basis of beliefs is severely wrong and unfair, regardless of whom is judged by whom.

In the end, I would just like to say that our differences shouldn’t divide us but bring us closer together. We can acknowledge and appreciate what makes each one of us unique. All of us might be unlike each other but when an adversity strikes, we all do come together putting aside our differences.

that proves there’s only one race and that is the Human race.

A Look At History’s Greatest Fathers

Image
History’s August 31 2018 article titled History’s Finest Fathers state some of the remarkable parental related deeds of many reputed figures throughout history including Czar Nicholas II, Charlemagne, Mark Twain and even the father of modern science, Charles Darwin.  So in light of Father’s Day, let’s make an attempt to break down the qualities listed in their specific paragraphs, a few intriguing similarities arise to the surface and perhaps give us an idea of what the role of a good father actually entails. Sacrifice, Endless Duty and Responsibility are common terms thrown around during the conversation of father figures but what exactly are those sacrifices, duties and responsibilities. Can some acts be considered lower or larger compared to others? Are these norms beneficial to parenting or harmful? And perhaps most importantly, what attributes constitute a good father all in all? From the consortium of personalities in the article, we see that many of the men listed here had b...

Tales of Crime and Justice : From Fence to Thief Taker General Jonathan Wilde

Image
Charles Hitchens several years ago, had paid £700 to become the Under Marshal of London, the highest rank of law enforcement in London at the time. Charles needed a protégé and so he approached the increasingly popular fence, Jonathan Wilde to work under him as an extortionist and errand boy.  Jonathan continued to work for him but started realizing some of the major flaws of Charles criminal system. For instance, Charles when writing threatening letters, used to sign under his own name. Jonathan began finding Charles methods pathetic and became more and more greedy, wanting the throne of the Under Marshal for himself. Turns out luck was on Jonathan’s side when Charles became involved in an anti-corruption scandal and city officials although not arresting Charles, demanded he take a break from the duties of Under Marshal. This is where Jonathan came in, he would be the acting Under Marshal, running Charles’s gang until he could make his marvelous return.  But as soon as Hitche...

December 1993, The infamous Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar dies in a shootout with the Colombian Law Enforcement. But something of the notorious criminal remains to this day, something no one thought would be both a problem and a tourist spot for Colombia ...  Most of you know the drug lord Pablo Escobar because of the hit gritty - original Netflix series ‘Narcos’. But there is much more to him then just simply drugs. Pablo Escobar was one of the most successful drug kingpins in the world and with all of that drug money he wanted to make a private zoo. So he imported several animals from different countries like giraffes, exotic animals etc. Along with theses animals he brought in four hippos. Hippopotamuses weren’t native to South America, in fact they were imported from Africa, where they are naturally found.  When Pablo Escobar was killed, the government reclaimed Pablo's estate. Giving off the animals to different zoos and sanctuaries. All animals except the h...
