Culte de la Raison…

In 1792 the French revolted. They revolted against religion and installed a new “religion” – the Religion of Reason! (“Culte de la Raison” in French, which took place in the context of the French Revolution). The new revolution required of course – as any revolution – its toll on human blood. Many people were killed and churches destroyed. The church if St. Paul in Paris is one example. The photos below show the results of this revolution… Reason can be too unreasonable sometimes…

History of St. Paul church in Paris

People died because they were not… “logical” enough?
Destruction of statues and paintings was part of the “revolution”…

PS. One can find a very good article for the Cult of Reason here – the article is unfortunately in Greek. If one tries Wikipedia for that he will just end up with some lines of text giving no information on such events (one line for the destruction of churches and NO mentioning of any deaths whatsoever!)…

Responding randomly to atheism in 1.3 seconds…

You are with some friends and the discussion goes over to religion. A friend of yours is a hardcore atheist and starts making fun of those who believe in a God, in a life with a purpose. However the discussion travels all too fast for you to stop everyone from talking and analyze your thoughts the way you want. Listing all those great arguments you know in favour of religion is not an option – not enough time for a lecture.

“BRLAALLRLAHHARALLSHHATRAHALLARH!!!”, you shout.

Everyone stops and stares at you. “What did you just say?” they ask. “Oh, I just said something for no reason”, you reply, “like the ‘we exist for no reason’ thing, you know… I uttered random letters together hoping that they would formulate a great argument against your saying”.

“But how can that be?” they laugh…

“Do not underestimate the power of Randomness” you reply seriously.

We are random “sets of flesh and bones” created through random mutations in a Universe which exist by pure luck because a dozen basic physical parameters have randomly the right value for life to be. And above all, statistics govern the way all particles move, thus even the way I speak and act right now – if we are to accept all the modern atheistic dogmata that is.

Give it a go your self!

You are nothing but a random worm in a sea of random nothingness!

Have a blast! Enjoy your self!

PS. Is that a funny or serious post?

Nietzsche and “God is dead”, as a cry of agony!

 

It is true that Nietzsche said in one of his books the infamous phrase “God is dead”. But few really understood in what way Nietzsche said that phrase. While reading the new book of Solomon and Higgins about the great philosopher, I was reminded of the great Greek philosopher Papanoutsos. The latter was one of the few who understood that “God is dead” is a cry of agony, not a cry of triumph. The great German philosopher was much more religious than most people think (read “Nietzsche – An irrational believer” for more on this). Nietzsche was against Christianism because the latter failed to solve the practical problems of the world and because it was drifting too much away from humans and their natural existence. But Nietzsche was also against rationalism (he was the founder of Irrationalism) and against the idea that science was the solution to all the problems – many people tend to overlook this. In his writting you can find many references to God and all too many references against science, which also failed to solve the problems of the world.

Many times people misunderstand that other people say…

Nietzsche is perhaps the most misunderstood of them all…

God is dead!

People wrongly think that believing in science is the cure for their agonies. People believe that they are just dust which happened to exist by luck. People believe that  they are nothing. Welcome to the modern era!

Be an atheist – It is in fashion!

Be an atheist! Be a materialist! It is in fashion! Now is the time!

It is in fashion not to try to understand, but simply accept the merits of technology without knowing who you really are. It is in fashion to just claim powerfull when you are not (call me Incompleteness Theorem). It is in fashion to claim that you are human when everything you say and do claim the opposite (call me Theory of Evolution and Survival of the Fittest – thus death of the weak). It is in fashion to claim to be a philosopher but still avoid any difficult question in the face of difficult answers (call me Agnosticism when there is a possibility to think that something you do not “like” exists). It is in fashion to be worrying more about your laptop than the man next to you starving to death. It is in fashion to think love is chemistry, than to think that everything is love…

Be an atheist! Be a materialist! It is in fashion! Now is the time!
