I am already writing my own opinions about the religion, what are my experiences, etc. First of all, i was raised in catholic family. I come from small town, where the church was always right and vicar was the most clever person in the town. Still I'm atheist now. I'm not the only one to turn to atheism despite being raised catholicaly.
First of all, I've never been thinking about God and how did it all begin etc. I was a child. Children have other more important stuff to do, like bike crash, fighting with other kids, playing games, breaking windows, shouting, crying, not behaving and anything you did, when you were a kid. I was reading encyclopedies also, so I was sure at very early age, that the world was created by big bang. Although I was teached, that God created this world, it never came to my mind, that those theories contradicts. Well, even today there are people, who also say, that world was created by big bang, but the one to create big bang was the God, so it kinda maybe makes sense. And when I was a small kid, it was not so important to me, I actually hadn't had a chance to confront those two models (creationism and big bang) yet, until I was 8.
At this age I attended some church meeting, where the vicar begin to speaking about God creating the world. I raised objection to christian "authority" for the first time, saying, that I've read, that the world was created by big bang and life and humans by evolution(I've read so much, when I was a child, so I already at least knew these two theories and the very very very basics of those concepts). The vicar has never answered my objection, he called me "walking encyclopedia" instead, continueing about God's business. Again, I wasn't much bothered by this act, since he changed the topic so early, I couldn't think much about it. Only after a few years I've found out, what was this act about. Of course, he surprised by such objection didn't want to argue with me, since there were parents with us at those sessions at church, so he could get embarassed even more. By this act were my parents happy, their child being inteligent. But on the other hand, that's because my parents really aren't very inteligent.
Still i continued to attend the church, not thinking too much about it. Just remember, how important things were on my mind back then. You really wouldn't argue, those are more important for such child than some chit-chat arguments with people, who believe, that Big Brother whatches over us. So I just ended up reading more and more books and doing more and more kid's stuff. Then I was 10 and I had the oportunity to choose between religion class or ethic class. I wanted to try something new, and although my parents weren't very happy about it, I insisted and since I argumented I just want to try something new(which sounds very reasonable, but a little too advanced thought for 10 years old child), noone ever wondered. And noone blamed me for blahspemy and I alone still attended the church. I went to that ethic class for the first time in my life and it was nothing like any of thous religion classes. It was the best class ever, since there weren't many people in that class(remember, I come from small christian town), so there were even older students in that class. And it was just great.
We moved to another(bigger) town however. I still attended the ethic class, not the religon one, because, that first class just left great impression on me. Very quickly I started to realize I don't completely believe in God. Not even knowing much about atheism, not noticing, what not believing in God means before, I was in complete new world. My family began to worry about me. But my younger brother followed me in my atheistic way. He is the type, that follows people. I quickly estimated myself as being the followed one(stalking rules thought). So, yes. He really didn't care if there is a god or anything. He just followed, what he was said by his idols, then it seems, I was one of them and I influenced his "belief". I don't know, why it's started to bother me. Why I just came to those questions.. Where is the God? Why bad things happen(especialy, why they happen to me, right? )? Why to hope for afterlife? And these questions and other as well came up eventualy.
Searching the answer really wasn't hard. I had the answer with me already, read from all those books I've read. So I just had my answers from what I already knew. It was reading those books, what changed my point of view, after all. I think, that's the case. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. It's funny, how my parents just couldn't give me answer for so many things and I was the one answering my questions, answering my questions even to them. Like I said, my parents aren't very clever, they've never been. They even happened to give me some "adult" questions at the age of 6. No, not sexual, financial. I was actualy thinking about money in very simple pattern, which remained in me even until now. That's been a usefull one.
So I´'ve finally began to take another points of view, getting another opinions, ideas, which ended up in very complex system. I think I want to continue this, but I'll cut it here and you can read the rest in other entry(ies). That'd be all for now, so see you next time, good bye.

Creationism vs Evolution royal battle
In this entry I'd like to talk about something else. I don't want to write down actual arguments of any side of this conflict(?). I'd like to describe some interesting things about this fight, instead.
First of all it's the very reason of this conflict. Why either of the sides wants to be the right side? Someone's got to be right, somebody is out of mind. And it must be US who are right. Why? It's not important, what our opinion is, it's our opinion, so we just can't be wrong. Remember, when you last time swore on your mother's death, that you didn't left your keys in your car? You were so sure, you are right. Still, those keys got to your car by some unexplainable miracle. We are so headstrong when it gets to our opinions, we just have to fight for our beliefs. It just like if you had last edible food and someone would try to steal it from you. You would fight to your death for it. So what we are doing, when arguing against our opponent(even in this discussion) is simply fighting for the calmness of our very own being. Fighting for brighter place under the sun, since we are the ones, who are right and deserve it. Just this reason looks very silly to begin such epic fight, to begin with.
Other than that, either are we atheist, or theists, we all believe, that our arguments are strong actually. That's just not the case. Neither atheist or theists have good arguments and the reason is quite simple. Most of these people aren't educated in physics therefore in Big Bang theory(because it's lot of math to this theory, it's more about numbers, than words) neither the evolution theory, which is being still examined as well as big bang theory. Both of these great theories are not fully explained, both have holes in them. But it's sad, atheists don't want to understand that and that theists just don't understand these holes and therefore their arguments are actually out of place, because they get misinformed by print medias, which almost never speak truth. What they call holes of these great theories are mere canards and neither of them is real. Atheists on the other hand are so headstrong, they just don't want to accept, big bang and evolution are not ultimatively correct explanations to what really happend.
Just accept it. You are no scientist, no quantum physicist, you don't understand the modern evolution theory. It's completely unrelevant if you are theist or atheist. Real scientists are not to jump to quick conlusions to questions like afterlife, telephaty or anything like that. They just don't know. They just say it's less probable, to be able to communicate telephaticaly as there's just no evidence to such ability in known world. Neither is there any evidence to afterlife. What i say to afterlife is, there's no way such thing could occur, but that's only my opinion, as there is no evidence to such a thing as a soul. But still, that doesn't scientificaly deny the possibility of existence of soul. We can't just say that mathematical problem is unnegotiable only because we are unable to solve it, right? When you happen to argue with somebody about creationism vs evolution, just remember this fact. You simply don't know almost anything about big bang or evolution. It's the fact. Just face it.
The other interesting thing about this battle is, that despite atheists being totaly outnumbered by theists, still their arguments overwhelm those of theists. Just try to google something about creationism vs evolution and what you will find are almost all atheistic websites and articles written by atheists. I personaly am atheist and write such articles and it feels like being a spartan warrior at Thermopylae battle. It's not so dangerous, though. Well... to this point.. No handgrenades thrown to my room through window until now.
Theists still use the same arguments though. I mean, wherever you live and whatever type of theist you argue with, all of them would say radiometric dating is not appropriate, all of them still do think, we come from monkeys according to evolution theory etc. It's really funny, they all attack those parts of scientific view on what happened, all of these are nothing but cannards, however.
The other thing is, it's atheists, who want to bring up fire. Atheists are attacking theists today(unlike in the past, when atheists were being hunted as misbelievers). The coin's turned to the other side, it's atheists, who are "hunting" theists and forcing them to arguments. I find this part really sad, because if we atheists are right(and we hell know, we are right), why to act like bunch of idiots? Well whatever, everybody has their own conscience.
And what is more, any of the discussion on these theme ends up with total mess, which is created by the losing side of the argument. For me quarrels like these bring nothing good to this world, there are no results of such discussion(there can't be), still it's somehow attracting us to argue, we just like it, don't we?

Yet again a parody of "beaten" science
Today i want to talk about an interesting webpage, I have found. Here is the link: http://www.clarifyingchristianity.com/creation.shtml
This webpage tries to get creationism on the same level of scientific study as evolution is on. That's okey, but what worries me more are arguments of creators of that webpage. The first thing, your face will get wrinkles about is the theory, that humans and dinosaurs lived together at the same time. And Noah even saved some of them. Although there is no clear evidence, dinosaurs were mentioned in the Bible, authors of that page believe, leviathan, behemoth and tanniyn are actually dinosaurs. They even admit it, they only believe it as they don't have any evidence(and they can't possibly have one, because they believe bible was written by God, who wouldn't tell them anyway). But they go further. They even doubt the time dinosaurs existed. They doubt, last dinosaurs died 65 milions of years ago. I ask... Evidence? There aren't found any dinosaur fossils younger than that. And if those creationists won't find such fossils, well, their opinion really isn't reliable.
Doubting scientific dating of age of dinosaur without evidence isn't the only thing, these people are able to get to. These gentlemen go even further. They doubt scientifing dating of age of the Universe(of course without evidence). It's not like scientists know the exact age of the universe. But they at least know, that universe is at least billions of years old->lot more, than the Bible says. Even catholic church nowadays dares to doubt this fact. Yet, these guys have got balls. And maybe they did forget, but still we can date the age of Earth and we would find out, that Earth is about 4,5 billions years old. And yeah, we are able to because of fossils yet again. Don't you find it odd, authors of this page never mention this method of dating the age of Earth. And they don't even mention the age of Earth.And so we see, that Earth is older than (as the Bible says) Universe. That's frankly impossible. What was the greatest fallacy was argument why measuring the age of some random star is not very exact. This is the one argument:
Do even these guys know, that there is simply no way a star would move so much in such short period of time? Yeah, the universe it's spreading, but not so fast, that stars, that are "nearby" our planet would move so much in such short period of time.
Getting deeper into the webpage you can find out, that these guys admit killings for the sake of higher goodness. God performed murders for the same sake as well, as authors of the webpage claim. A perfect being such as God is(according to what christians and creationists believe) does not need to turn to violence. All this perfect almighty being has to do is prevent things, that bothers him. And he is omniscient, so he would know if something were to happen. The problem with creationists, with author(s) of the Holy Bible and with mere humans is, that we are not very able to understand the mentality of almighty, omniscient being. Perfect, almighty and omniscient being is able (and not able, but he is somehow bound to it) to make the one percet system with no holes, that would be conscious of him, because it spares the trouble. But that's only, when we admit God. I don't admit anything like that. And since you pretty much agree with most of the stuff at this webpage, you don't as well. So my message to authors of that webpage is: Killing is not the solution, the solution is to not let it happen->but then again, we are no gods, to make it possible, and that God of yours doesn't seem to be interested.
I'd like to move to another qutation from the webpage:
Yeah, according to Bible he's so good, he made The Flood, which killed thousand or maybe millions of people and animals and plants. Authors of webpage also say, that everything bad happens, Satan is the one to be blamed for, he's the responsible one. Well, God is almighty and good, why can't he stop him?
I find this part funny as well:
What these guys are doing is typical creationist's way of finding new people stupid enough to believe in their fairy tales. They misinform, they systematicaly hammer down any science speaking, they don't. They find their own scientific(that's odd) proofs, that Bible is right. They just suck. And they don't have evidence. (Science does). Read it yourself, make your own opinion, there is only one thing, I want you to do, check every information they provide with wikipedia or another reliable source of information, to see how many lies there is at that webpage.(And then again, there are these 10 Commandments, one of them tells us not to lie). Good bye.

What happens if any of the stars moved and/or the light was bent one ten millionth of a degree when the parallax measurement was being made? Under such conditions, we could be led to believe that a star 10,000 light years away was actually 210,000 light years away.
Do even these guys know, that there is simply no way a star would move so much in such short period of time? Yeah, the universe it's spreading, but not so fast, that stars, that are "nearby" our planet would move so much in such short period of time.

We know that God is good and God gives good things. The Bible says so in many passages.
Yeah, according to Bible he's so good, he made The Flood, which killed thousand or maybe millions of people and animals and plants. Authors of webpage also say, that everything bad happens, Satan is the one to be blamed for, he's the responsible one. Well, God is almighty and good, why can't he stop him?
I find this part funny as well:
How much does the average person give at church?Do they actually believe, almighty being needs money?! The only one, who needs(or wants) money very badly is the priest of the church, you leave your money in.
We do not know what the world average is, but the average amount in the United States (of all of the people who regularly give money at church) is about $600 a year, or about $12 a week per person. Of course, that is the average. Some people do not give as much, and others contribute tens of thousands of dollars every year. If you have a relationship with God and want to give, the amount is really between you and Him.
What these guys are doing is typical creationist's way of finding new people stupid enough to believe in their fairy tales.

Egyptian gods? Fairy tale
There's been something bothering me for a long time. Do you remeber, when you were teached about first primitive human cultures? Do you remember what was written in almost every history book? About gods of those primitive cultures?
First people didn't know a lot. And whatever they didn't know, whatever they couldn't explain, they just told it was a god. We had then god for lightning, for raining, for floods, for good harvest, for bad harvest etc. And you were teached this like this is absolute foolproof truth. Then you could move to less primitive, but still enough primitive cultures. Like egyptians, greeks etc. They still had gods around, who protected them, punished them, rulled them. These primitive cultures builded pyramides(about which we still don't know, how did they build it->maybe they weren't as much primitive), collosseum and other buildings, that have lasted here for thousands years. Just take a look at that old house not so far from your home, builded by modern cultures. He's been there maybe about 50 years and it's almost so ruined as it's never been there.
Still when you learn about jews or about muslims, you are NEVER told, their God was developed by primitive people, who couldn't explain lightning, so they "created" a god in their mind. In fact, there are teachers saying, that "our" God (i mean.. I am from country with solid catholic tradition) created this world and that if we do something wrong, we go to hell. Lot of teachers use God as actual argument, when they preach a bad pupil.
It's really unfair, that children are teached, that egyptian gods are a mere human excuse for not knowing everything, however christian god, or muslim god, they're okey, noone will ever tell you, they are here just to explain, what we couldn't. But what does make a difference between christian god and egyptian gods? Why is christian god more probable to exist, than those gods from egypt, india, rome... Why is christian god never treated like fairy tale, while slavic gods are always treated like gentile in every history book?
When you face a christian, try to ask him. Try to get actual arguments from him, not just something like: It's obvious, that "our" God is the right one. You would be surprised, how this works on christians.

Homeschooling by radical Christians
I've just read about book speaking about homeschooling in which these passages were:
Now tell me, how in the world can exist such moron. There's nothing bad about homeschooling, even if any of parents is not educated for teaching(maybe). But are these serious? Bible as the universal surviving manual? 'Guess they've upgraded Bible from what it was, when I read it last time. I don't remember there were math, physics, history(i mean REAL history, not fairy tales) in Bible. And we wonder then, how many stupid people are out there. Now you know the reason. Like father, like son i guess. It's really not the son's fault, though.
I personaly think there is a need for examining parents that want to homeschool their children. It's not for the sake of society's goodness. These people live in minority. It's for the sake of those children. They should have the right to learn other things as well, not only the Bible and parents shouldn't be the ones to take that right from them. This right is in Children's rights charter after all.
Fortunately the trend goes the other way. Lunatic families like this are slowly disapearing. I personaly don't have any business with families such as this, they don't affect me after all, but I just can't watch children growing up in such circumstances.
[Father Gary:] “I’m not a wise man in the world’s things. I’m not even academically able to teach a lot of subjects and neither is my wife. We resolved in ourselves years and years ago that if we were able to teach our children character, teach them how to read so that they could read the Bible, we would have done all that is necessary for them to survive this world. And we’re not going to put ourselves up under other people’s ideas of what an educated person is. So we’ve taught each one of them that we would be just as proud to see them hanging off a garbage truck, knowing that they don’t lie, steal, cheat, and despise God.” (p. 72)
…
Gary has returned to the kitchen by this point and has been listening to his daughter describe their schoolwork. “We started homeschooling back before it became popular,” he recounts. “Our eldest daughters are twenty-five years old now and they never went to a public school for a day.” He pulls out a chair from the kitchen table and settles himself in it. “The public schools are being assaulted by Satan,” he continues. “In the public schools, we’d be worried about our daughters being raped, assaulted, learning Satan worship, fighting, all the guns, the deaths in the schools, knifings. Teachers molesting children. Homosexuals, you know, demanding their wickedness be crammed into the classroom.”
[Daughter] Sharon shakes her head in disapproval. “The only reason that I would want to go to the public school,” she says, “would be for the socialization. That’s the only reason.”
“But you have that at church,” Gary points out.
Sharon agrees. “We have that anywhere else.”
“And you have that going to Wal-Mart,” Gary adds. (p. 75)
Now tell me, how in the world can exist such moron. There's nothing bad about homeschooling, even if any of parents is not educated for teaching(maybe). But are these serious? Bible as the universal surviving manual? 'Guess they've upgraded Bible from what it was, when I read it last time. I don't remember there were math, physics, history(i mean REAL history, not fairy tales) in Bible. And we wonder then, how many stupid people are out there. Now you know the reason.

It's for the sake of those children. They should have the right to learn other things as well, not only the Bible and parents shouldn't be the ones to take that right from them. This right is in Children's rights charter after all.
Fortunately the trend goes the other way. Lunatic families like this are slowly disapearing. I personaly don't have any business with families such as this, they don't affect me after all, but I just can't watch children growing up in such circumstances.
Create your own religion!
This is something wandering through my mind for some time. I'd really like to create new religion! Why? Isn't it obvious? To create a religion is one of the greatest moneymaking industry. All you have to do is feeding up people with bullshit. But then again, it's really not me speaking something so unrational, even God seems to be acceptable concept alongside that.
I'd really like to have some rational concept and I've been thinking about it.But it's just impossible. You can't fuse science and religion into one. Even if you really want to, there is no science in giving people hope or threatning them being punished after their death forever. The first thing is, they can't be punished after they are dead. I mean, there is no afterlife. So rational concept doesn't come into mind. It seems I'd have to make something more religious.
But this is a problem for me. I would have to act, like I believe such stupidity. And I would have to do that publicly. I would lose any hope of finding a girlfriend, because who would like to date such moron, right? Maybe another crazy moron female believing in my bullshit. But then again, would you like to have a normal relationship with someone stupid enough to believe obvious fairy tales of yours? I guess it is quite easy to find moronic girlfriend, if you are a leader of some church, though. You have power and there is strange aura about you. Or at least the others see it that way.
To create some new religion and be it's leader, it's quite of a responsible job. It's not only pushing bullshit to your followers heads, you have all of their hopes, fears, dreams (and not to forget all the money) in your hands. Feeling the weight of responsibility yet? Whatever you tell, they'll follow(some of them are sure to follow). So you just can't tell anything, because you could end up losing your members->therefore your money. What is worse, you could end up in jail, since if you would be blamed for founding a sect, in some laws you would be imprisoned. Now you definitely must feel the hardness of the deal.
But what is a religion? When can you tell, you've founded religion and when it is some comic fagotry? It's really not that hard. The only thing you have to think of is someone, or something to be the main cause of everything bad. People are not interested why good things happen to them. As long as they happen to them, they really don't care. What they care is, why is it them, who have to end up with the worst. Why they've lost their job, why has it been them to be robbed, raped, cheated, whatever. Why BAD things happen. Go and tell them: It's the Satan, it's the God, it's that unsympathetic dentist on the corner of your street. It could be even dark grass growing on Jupiter(even though there is no chance anything would grow on Jupiter). Really. It can be anything. As long as you say, what is the cause, it's okey. They'll have something to blame.
What your church is doing is getting rid of the evil, fighting the evil, fighting the bad things, that happen to people. Give examples of how your church is helping and do some help in reality.You'll have to put some money into it, but you'll get much more in the process. Give them hope. Tell, there is mighty being helping them. Maybe helping them through you. It could be yourself, if you are feeling up to it. Just tell them, the help is nearby. You would wonder, how many people would believe in whatever you are saying, because you'll tell them, they are not responsible for them being unsuccessfull, for their fails but on the other hand, you(or your religion) is the way to get better, to have hope, to end up in good situation. People only need to believe, that there is hope. There ultimatively doesn't have to be. They only need to believe that.
And that's what every religion does. It gives hope and it gets the main causer of our problems.

Space people
This time i'd like to introduce you guys something not so known outside Czech Republic and Slovak Republic. It's a sect called Space people. They believe, there are thousands of spaceships above our planet and that these ET's are helping us, protecting us from bad aliens called reptiles. The "good" aliens are lead by Ashtar Sheran, human-like being with blond hair and blue eyes(yeah, german type, Hilter would like this guy).
Members of this sect believe, they can communicate with "good" aliens. The founder of this sect-Ivo Benda-published 10 books of his "interviews" with these beings from space at the webpage of this sect, 2 of them were even printed and the first one is already sold out. It's amazing how many stupid people are out there, who believe, that we are controled by bad alien reptiles, which use short-lenght waves broadcasted from the reverse side of the Moon. If anything bad happens to you, just kill the next snake or crocodile you meet, because he is the mental body of one of those bad guys. In this procces we will end up with no reptiles on this planet at all, but for what prize. But at least we are sure to be not controled from the space by short-lenghted waves.
There is impossible amount of fake pictures and videos of UFO's, "interviews" with good aliens, lot of other texts. It's nearly impossible to produce so much bullshit in such short time. Still there is about 8 thousands of pages of text on their official webpage. Although this sect is not an official organisation, it's founder doesn't have to worry about money; He gave up on his job very shortly after the organisation being founded, because he can live with all the money he earns from this sect.
How can this be? There is nothing probable about anything he speaks. It's complete bullshit, not even a scratch of facts and this sect is unacceptable from both scientific and religious side. With no allies this sect continues to live, maybe even spread and what's most unacceptable, they continue to EARN.
What comes from this entry is the fact, that you can tell people WHATEVER you want. They'll eat anything you'll feed them with. They'll give you their money. The only thing you have to tell them is, what is the cause of their troubles and that there is hope for them. Nothing else matters, as it seems.
