Remove the “De” and the Title is Correct

When 10 men tell you you‘re drunk, it’s time to lay down. That seems to be the consensus about the so-called debate between Andrew Wilson and Candace Owens concerning the death of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point, an organization to inform young people about politics and moral and ethical values. Since Mr. Kirks untimely death, there have been a number of people questioning the official account, the most prolific and most widely viewed over the Internet being Candace Owens. Andrew Wilson, a self proclaimed Master Debater, challenged Ms. Owens to a debate to prove, once and for all, the state of Utahs evidence against the accused killer versus her thoughts and opinions about said evidence. The outcome was surprising to some, but not to most.

The Atheist Identity

It may(or may not) surprise you to discover that most atheists are men. According to Pew, about two-thirds of people that identify as atheist (I think that includes agnostic as well) are men and the other one-third consists of the other 71 genders. Okay, a poor joke. Of course, it’s women. Why is that? It’s a question that has been asked by a lot of different people over time and no actual consensus has ever been made.

Are Atheists Really Agnostics?

I don’t think too much about being an atheist. For me, it is what it is. When someone asks me what I believe, I tell them, matter-of-factly, that I am an atheist and do not believe in any gods.

It says that I don’t know for sure there are no gods, I just don’t believe there are. I don’t think anyone knows for certain whether there is a god or gods and that would make us all…agnostic, wouldn’t it?

Losing Your Belief

I really never realized how much content existed on youTube. By that I mean, the variety. Inn the past, I used YouTube to find out how to make some home or automotice repair. I never really thought of it as a source of education or entertainment, even though I knew people that did. Recently I have discovered how much I’ve been missong. ill probably write more about it in the fiture but right now I want to focus on one particular topic: Atheism.

Believe it, or Not

Being atheist doesn’t imply anything other than what atheism really means: a non-belief in god(s). Sometimes believers take us to be not just spiritual non-believers, but people that don’t believe in anything. Every time I hear that, I just shake my head: Are people really this stupid? That question was rhetorical.
