Ex-Hindu Atheist: Science, Truth, God, Religion, Atheism and Humanism from an Ex Hindu.
Ex-Hindu Atheist
I'm an ex-Hindu Atheist. I started this podcast wanted to talk about a variety of topics related to God, Religion, Faith, Destructive & Nonconstructive Beliefs * Why do you believe there's a God, or many Gods? * What proof have you seen, other than a gut feeling or the need to feel safe knowing that an all-powerful being is watching over us? * What is it about religion that has attracted 7 billion people to one form or the other, when there are so many things wrong with religion - which I wi ...

Imagine a true believer writing a letter to God. How would they reconcile reality vs. their belief system?

Everyone is born atheist. Atheism could be argued as the default position of all humans - especially babies. When a baby is born, it has no concept of God, doesn't believe in a God, doesn't know about a God, doesn't pray to a God, and just doesn't care about the existence of a God. Most of that could easily be said about atheists too! Faith in God …

Ex-Hindu Atheist: Science, Truth and Facts about God and Religion from a Born-and-Raised Ex-Hindu - 1
23:19
I did not start this podcast because I'm trying to "convert" you into an atheist. Atheism is not a religion. Or even a belief system. Atheism is not a rejection of God, it is a lack of belief that there is a God. It is just a position, that until there is some demonstrable evidence that there is a god, we choose to not believe that there is one. So…
