Back story: A student in my grade (I am currently a sophomore in high school) came in to my study hall. At the time I was walking to the front of the room to get something. He took his water bottle,…Continue

Josh Leach replied to Gina Weston's discussion 'Abortion: Are you Pro-Choice or Pro-Life?'"Like someone before me, I will start out saying I am male. I cannot know the internal struggle that is the decision of whether or not to keep a child, and don't pretend to.
That being said, I am Pro-Choice. I believe it is a…"

Josh Leach replied to Matt Kovach's discussion 'Question:' in the group Atheist Alliance International (Official)"Haha nice archaeopteryx. I personally believe the world will not become entirely atheistic until fear is removed entirely. I believe someone has said it already, but fear is what created religion. Fear and a lack of an explanation for the unknown.…"

Josh Leach replied to Michael's discussion 'Is Atheism Predicated Partially on the Belief in Evolution?'"You should really be more specific when you pose a question to the community then. You asked if evolution was part of atheistic belief. Just evolution. Not human evolution. Just evolution. If we were to accept evolution as meaning change, then it…"
Josh Leach replied to Michael's discussion 'Is Atheism Predicated Partially on the Belief in Evolution?'"I don't think I have ever been more confused reading something in my life.. Micheal, no offense, but the way you word your responses confuses the hell out of me. One sentence is completely unrelated to the next, or so it seems to me. Again.…"
Josh Leach commented on Josh Leach's blog post 'God vs. Religion'"Milly, you make some very good points in comment. I especially like the "who wrote the bible?" part. But I'm going to ask you, like I asked Tom, do you also completely disbelieve the notion of a God-being? An intelligent designer?
"
Milly commented on Josh Leach's blog post 'God vs. Religion'"I'm an atheist because it doesn't make sense to me. I was raised agnostic/atheist and religion just doesn't make sense to me. I am a very critical thinker, and I don't believe in magic, and that is mostly what the bible and…"
Josh Leach commented on Josh Leach's blog post 'God vs. Religion'"So what it sounds like to me is you reject the idea of God as described in the "Holy" texts. I'm curious, do you also reject the idea of there being an Intelligent Designer, a God-being of some sort?"
Tom Holm commented on Josh Leach's blog post 'God vs. Religion'"Im atheist because I refuse to reform to the belief of an almighty deity made up some 2000 or more years ago I dont really know how long, and dont care. I will believe when their is demonstrable evidence for this so called all powerful, all knowing…"
Josh Leach replied to Keith Murphy's discussion 'What is your stance on marriage?'"I like marriage for the legal benefits, the pomp and the circumstance, the tradition. As an atheist, swearing your eternal love before a deity has absolutely no bearing on me. I would rather get married by a judge or other person qualified…"
Josh Leach commented on Leslie Ann's blog post 'Am I overreacting?'"I would be very interested to here if he responded. But I personally, don't think you overstepped your bounds their. If he's forcing his belief on you, you may as well state your own. I see absolutely nothing wrong with this. "
Josh Leach replied to Brittany Mezzo's discussion 'My Thoughts on Why Some Don't Give Up Religion'"I do not believe there is an afterlife. There is a very famous quote by a philosopher who's name I do not remember that goes very similar to this "If death exists, I do not. If I exist, death does not. Why should I fear that which cannot…"

Hello Think Atheist community! This is my first attempt at blogging, so I'm not sure if this really belongs as a blog or as a discussion topic. However, my blogging exploits will cover topics within my realm of experience. I am also attempting to write a novel, so I may post excerpts and ask for feedback at some point, I'm not really sure. I don't know what direction this blog will take, but hopefully you will enjoy my posts.
