Prayers and God’s Will

© Arun Nm “Doctor, how is my brother?” “He is not at all doing well. Now it’s up to prayers and God.” When dealing with near and dear ones of critically ill people, I have heard many health care professionals saying this. Even some doctors/nurses who do not believe in prayers or a personal God (the one who interferes for us hearing prayers) practice it. For doing such things they have an explanation. “Why should we extinguish all their hopes?” Is it ethical to tell some one t

Confiteor of an Atheist

I believe in no god but my Mother and Father who ushered me into this world. I believe in the family of man and all the ramifications therein.

Unpacking Activism through the Eyes of a Depressed Minion

An Atheist Expresses Gratitude

An Atheist Gives Thanks Expresses Gratitude (To whom, exactly, would an atheist “give thanks?”) There are four calendric events – the equinoxes and solstices – that have meaning for me because of what they reveal about our planet’s relationship to the star it orbits and of what they meant to the ancients. On those occasions I always spend some time thinking about the Earth’s axial tilt and Newton’s laws of planetary motion; I usually take the time to look at some diagrams of

Christianity and the Black Death

Could humanity have saved more lives during the period of the black death if it were not for the church? As it is today, so it was back in the days of the black death. The churches have and had a lot of power, have benefited on superstition, and taken advantage of misplaced faith. Today we are dealing with the Ebola virus, which in many ways is the same as the black death. So far at least one priest from Spain has died from the virus; he went down to Liberia with no medical t
