There is no greater betrayal of the human mind than to take a child, born curious and fearless, and fill it with fear before it has learned to think. Religion calls it teaching. The honest word is indoctrination. Across cultures and centuries, the same formula repeats: before the brain can reason, it is branded with […]

There is a certain human arrogance in believing that the Universe was created for us. To look at the staggering scale of the cosmos and conclude that it all exists for one species on one small rock in one minor galaxy is to misunderstand the most basic data of reality. The evidence is overwhelming that

Introduction: The Return of the False Scholar Across social media, blogs and glossy pseudo-academic websites, a new kind of missionary has emerged. He is not robed in theology but cloaked in the white coat of science. He writes long essays filled with biological jargon, geological data and chemical complexity. He dazzles with vocabulary, pretends to

Across centuries, organised religion has condemned those whose love or identity does not fit within its narrow definitions.

The story of religion and LGBTQ+ people is not a moral conflict but a

For centuries, believers have argued that morality comes from God. They claim that without divine command, humans would have no compass, no concept of right or wrong. Atheists are told that, without heaven’s reward or hell’s punishment, they have no reason to behave. It sounds persuasive until you ask one simple question: if morality truly

Three books claim to speak for the same god. Each insists it carries the truth, yet each contradicts the others. The Torah, the Bible, and the Quran are presented as divine revelations, but together they tell a story of revision, rivalry, and human ambition. They are not three messages from one source but three versions

For billions of believers, the Bible is not just a book but a blueprint for life. It claims divine origin, moral authority, and historical truth. Yet when those claims are placed under academic light, the paper begins to burn. What emerges is a record shaped by politics, translation, revision, and myth-making — a library of
