Way of the Mind

Since every other blog seems to be doing it…

Sorted by number of visits, in ascending order:

10 - The problem of Agnosticism, part 2 - it’s a “part 2″ (see below for part 1), but it’s perfectly readable on its own. Discusses the contradiction of being “agnostic” about Yahweh, but “atheistic” about every other made-up deity.
9 - Christian myths about Atheism: discussion - there were so many comments for the “16 Common Myths about Atheism” post (see below) that I had to close that thread and open a new one, or my web server would have been very, very angry at me.
8 - The problem of Agnosticism - explores why agnostics are agnostic, and what’s wrong, in my opinion, with it.
7 - How I’ve become an atheist - one of the oldest posts on Way of the Mind, this tells of my own “deconversion”, and links to a brilliant Douglas Adams interview
6 - Why Atheism is not a religion - oddly enough, many people seem to think that it is - in other words, that it requires as much “faith” as theism. This post shows why that is not the case.
5 - Are the myths about atheists real or not? - after the popular “common myths” post, many people said I was creating “straw men” - in other words, the myths didn’t really exist. A simple search on Google News proved otherwise.
4 - “Closed minds” - disputes the common (and unfortunate) belief that “being sure of something is closed-minded” (also known as “reality is fluid”).
3 - Deism and Pantheism - a latecomer, this post describes those two not-very-well-known beliefs, whose proponents included many of the U.S. Founding Fathers, and Albert Einstein.
2 - Atheism: arrogance? - discusses why believing that 2+2 will still be 4 tomorrow isn’t “arrogant”.
1 - 16 Common Myths about Atheists - a list of what many theists believe — wrongly — about atheists in general. No, we don’t sacrifice babies. We don’t even boil young goats in their mothers’ milk.
