That’s a nice alphabet you got there, it’d be a shame if something were to happen to it. It is often said that fear stems from a lack of understanding, and in that light, I want to address LGBTQIA+ words and terms.To start with I will go over the letters themselves, what they stand for,…

Introduction: Discourse shapes our society, and within its bounds, we find the power to uplift or to dismiss, to validate or to negate, to ‘win’ or to understand.With this in mind, I want to draw attention to the words of Sarah Maddox, which hopefully remind us of a vital aspect often missed in debates on…

If you’ve spent any amount of time on social media, you’ve likely encountered the term “gender nonconformity.” While this may come across to some as ‘just the stuff of trending hashtags’, it is actually a profound societal shift. A revaluation and realignment of perceived social norms and ‘traditional gender roles’. So, “what does the world…

It’s no secret that I am a big fan of AI. I use it a lot as a tool to expand on ideas that I have, and to convert stuff that I’ve created into the appropriate format for various things. As a tool, I find it absolutely incredible, especially as someone with a physical disability…

(Or ‘The Ice-Cream Analogy For Morality’) One of the most common arguments within online debate groups (at least, those that pertain to philosophy) is whether morality is objective or subjective. I have been in dozens, if not hundreds, of these discussions myself. What I have found is that, largely, we just tend to talk around…
The importance of human artistic expression in the art world cannot be overstated. As Plato once said, “The arts are not only imitation of the reality, but also a representation of human character.” In other words, art is a reflection of the human experience, and as such, it is essential for preserving the essence of…
What Is Homeopathy? The first thing that we must do when addressing this topic is to explain what Homeopathy actually is. A common misconception about Homeopathy is that it is synonymous with Herbalism and natural remedies, but this couldn’t be further from the case. Herbalism is the use of naturally occurring plants in treatment for…

What Is Bigotry? Time and time again in group discussion (mostly online, thankfully) I get accused of being a bigot, or engaging in bigotry. Of course, this label would upset anybody. But those of us in the same position as me, quite possibly even more so. We are those who are accused of bigotry, not…
Introduction. Previously I have written an article that lists and explains some Common Theistic Fallacies that are often brought up in arguments. As an atheist who is active in several online debate and discussion groups, they are things that I see with exceptional regularity. However, it is unfair to think that it is only the Theists…
Dear Thinker. Across your journey of self-enlightenment, you shall meet many a con-man who offers their version of reality in manners that are palpable to your ears. You will meet men who speak eloquently, look sophisticated, and yet hold irrational beliefs based purely on their situation; the situation that chance allowed them to be born…

Dear thinker. A confident stand on the Limitations of a person’s capability to fully know about their existence is a defining step in the maturity of a human being; as to be self-aware of those limitations gives person grounds, not only to improve in their understanding, but also their perspective as well. Knowledge begins when…

Letters To A Concerned Free Thinker 1 – Purpose Dear Thinker. The worst human crime that one can bestow upon another, the crime that one should not seek to spread, is the crime of appropriated purpose; it is a crime to tell someone what their purpose is. I once was asked by a stranger,…

Is God a Psychopath? Firstly we have to define what it is that we are talking about. The God being addressed in this article is the Abrahamic God of the Bible, and as such, Biblical scripture and commonly held Christian beliefs will be used as evidence to support the case being presented. The term Psychopath…
In this article we will address some of the common Fallacies that are used by Theists in arguments. An important point to be made about fallacies is that it does NOT automatically mean that someone is wrong. It means that the formulation of their argument is wrong, and that we can dismiss that argument until…
Firstly we have to define the God that we are talking about. This article is giving my proof that an Omnipotent God CANNOT exist within our Universe, or interact with it if said deity exists outside of it. It doesn’t matter if we are talking about Yahweh, Allah, or any other Omnipotent deity.Although we can…
I have come across many different types of believers in my time. Those that believe because of Indoctrination, those that believe because of fear, those that believe because of personal experiences, and many more. But the one thing that I struggle with understanding more than any other are those that believe that God is the…
