  • God cannot think

    God cannot think

    The idea that God can think sounds simple, but it collapses the moment you look deeper. Thinking means moving from not knowing to knowing, from confusion to clarity. Humans think because they lack knowledge. God, however, is said to know everything—past, present, and future. If his knowledge is complete, he cannot think, because thinking means…

  • God’s will is unknowable, making it meaningless

    God’s will is unknowable, making it meaningless

    The phrase “God’s will” has guided billions across centuries. It is invoked to justify wars, defend peace, comfort the grieving, and control the living. Yet when examined closely, the concept collapses. If God’s will is unknowable, then it is meaningless. No one can claim to know what divine will truly entail. People may associate it…

  • God foresees everything. But wait a minute, he just can’t

    God foresees everything. But wait a minute, he just can’t

    Religions teach that God sees everything—past, present, and future. The claim sounds comforting. It promises order in chaos and purpose in suffering. Yet it hides a fatal flaw. If God truly foresees everything, then the future is fixed. And if the future is fixed, neither God nor humans can change anything. Divine foreknowledge collapses into…

  • There must be God, little, extremely limited

    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…

  • Even some not so intelligent people don’t believe in God

    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…

  • Theory of mind and God: deists vs. scientists

    Theory of mind and God: deists vs. scientists

    Isaac Newton died with firm conviction that there is God given complexity or world and universe. But he had lived hundreds years before we had the scientific fact that we see complexities as bias because of our Theory of mind. So what is the fight about Theory of mind and God, and respective camps of…

  • Religion vs. reality: overpresence of deity

    Religion vs. reality: overpresence of deity

    A lot of been described in connection with religions in terms of rationality. Such arguments didn’t omit the perception of respective spiritual power. However, for people who are not biologically inclined to have spiritual experience (just like me), there needs to be added further argumentation. Also, religion vs. reality can be useful for people who…

  • Suicide – 95 % of them are completely senseless

    I know what I am talking about. I used to choose bridges from which to jump. But since I wasn’t sure whether it was the right decision, I asked super-smart people like Steven Pinker, Peter Kinderman or John Read. Yes, I am battling mental illnesses, and since you have had an awful divorce, you are…
