Peter Thiel: IQ 160 and still believes in Christianity
It sounds impossible. A person with an IQ of 160 — one in 31,560 — believing in Christianity. Even an IQ of 150 — one in 2,330 — is already at a genius level (this is the range I estimate he belongs to based on rarity). Yet Peter Thiel, whose IQ likely oscillates between those…

There must be God, little, extremely limited
The old God is dead. The personal God of the churches fell under the weight of science. The deist God of philosophers fell under the blows of reason. Yet the word “God” never vanished. Too many people cannot let go of it. Instead, they cut it down. They stripped it of power, personality, and transcendence…

Should we be culturally Christian?
Cultural Christianity sounds harmless. People say it means celebrating Christmas, enjoying church weddings, or calling Europe “Christian” even when belief is gone. But behind this idea hides a dangerous illusion. It preserves myths from the Bronze Age. It keeps alive a worldview that belongs to shepherds, priests, and rulers of ancient tribes. And it risks…

Even some not so intelligent people don’t believe in God
Disbelief in God is often treated as a mark of superior intelligence. People imagine scientists, philosophers, or brilliant skeptics tearing down arguments of faith. But reality is not that simple. Even some not so intelligent people do not believe in God. They did not arrive there through complex reasoning. They reached it by relying on…

How all prophecies failed
Prophecy has always fascinated humanity. It has been presented as a divine message, a glimpse of destiny, or even proof of God’s omniscience. Many religious traditions claim that prophecy is evidence of divine inspiration, since only an all-knowing being could foretell the future. If that were true, prophecy would be the strongest confirmation of religion’s…

We can question Christianity, not Islam
You can question Christianity in most Western countries, you can mock it, you can publish it. And you will face criticism, maybe protests, but not a death sentence.Now compare that with many Muslim-majority states. Question Islam. Name the Prophet. Challenge scripture. You can face prison. You can face mobs. In some places, you can face…

Nationalize the Vatican’s power and wealth
The Vatican is more than a spiritual institution. It functions as a global empire. For centuries, it has blended religion, politics, finance, and secrecy. It owns land, runs banks, shapes diplomacy, and influences morality. Although it presents itself as sacred, it operates like a state—yet enjoys legal and financial privileges that no other power on…

Does arguing with priests make sense?
I have an opportunity to have talks with one Roman Catholic priest and then two Evangelical ones. Does arguing with them really make sense? I cannot persuade them to stop believing in God, and since I am a rationally inclined person, there is a very slim chance they can persuade me (but it is still…

I always knew Christianity was a lie, but not that big
I always sensed something was off. The hymns, the miracles, the rituals—they felt artificial. Still, I gave Christianity the benefit of the doubt. I assumed there was at least a man behind it all. A preacher. A reformer. Someone named Jesus. But the deeper I looked, the more the foundation dissolved. It was not just…

Jesus vs Facts: Did he exist?
Everyone thinks they know Jesus. They speak his name, they repeat his teachings. They draw his face. Yet despite all this familiarity, the truth is far more disturbing. In reality, we know almost nothing. Yes, we have gospels. Yes, we have churches. And yes, we have a religion that reshaped half the world. But no,…
