Something instead of nothing

One of the silliest questions asked by theists: Can atheism explain why is there something rather than nothing?

An old mate of mine asked…
“Can atheism explain why there’s something rather than nothing?”
I was surprised because he’s a bright guy. One of the most intelligent lads in my old Grammar school as it happens. And yet his question was so ridiculously stupid I could hardly believe he’d asked it.
However, since it’s not uncommon for atheists of less intelligence than him to ask this same question I put my answer into a video so I won’t need to keep typing out the answer every time some theist presents the question as though it’s some sort of ‘gotcha’.
Spoiler alert… it isn’t.

No escape, those who tried
Will be punished soon after they’ve died.

3 types of clergy

How would you describe your priest, pastor or worship leader? Are they actually fit to lead?

Speaking as an atheist I believe that it is possible to divide clergy into three groups. There are the gullible, the deceitful and those who are both gullible and deceitful.

No true Christian…

There’s no hate like Christian love, especially when they direct it at each other.

There’s no hate like Christian love, especially when they direct it at each other. The ‘No true Christian’ fallacy is just as bad as the eponymous ‘No true Scotsman’, except that it is even less rational and even more vicious.
