Atheism

The “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” of the Soul

How is it that science can detect the unimaginably small and least reactive of all known matter, yet we have never detected any existence of a soul? (Warning: If you don’t like a bit of science with your morning coffee, it may be better to watch a cat video rather than proceed with this blog post.) For those willing to read through all this, the punch line is at the end ;-).

“Leaving religion” may be seen as a “cruel joke” of a solution to the victims of the Rakhine State civil war. However, it must be put on the table, because it is the only way out of a conflict that could outlast this century. Destroying religion may be the only hope for a people who have perhaps not seen the color of clean water, let alone any evidence that what they are willing to die and kill for exists at all.
