Imagine No Religion – In Memory of 9/11

Friday, September 11th, 2009

On Tuesday, September 11th 2001, I received a phone call from a relative who told me that he was watching something strange on TV – a plane had flown into one of the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York, and then another plane had flown into the other tower. I was puzzled and it took a few moments to realise that this was something real – a terrorist attack – and the most shocking event in recent history.

The terrorists were religious maniacs who believed that by murdering the passengers aboard the aircraft and the thousands of people in the WTC and also killing themselves in the process, that they would be rewarded by God in paradise.

Imagine no religion. Imagine no 9/11.

R.I.P. God

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Surely now, this is it, once and for all. God is dead.

God never existed. God doesn’t exist. God as a concept is dead. There was no Adam and Eve, no Garden of Eden. The was no Noah’s Ark. God is dead – may the idea of Gods finally be laid to rest and let the world live in peace.

150 years after Darwin’s On the Origin of Species which described his theory of evolution by means of natural selection, Richard Dawkins provides unequivocal evidence for evolution as a fact.
