About Atheism…

On 9 August 2007 By PriyaIn Atheism10 Comments

Just a few days ago, on last sunday, I had to accompany my parents to the temple again, grudgingly. I don't know why I just didn't refuse to go to the temple. They told me that according to the Indian astrology, my timing is not good at the moment. So I should go to the …

Why Am I An Atheist?

On 25 July 200710 August 2007 By PriyaIn Atheism, ObjectivismLeave a comment

One of my friends asked these two questions to me: "What is the meaning of atheism, in your sense?" and "Why are you an atheist?" Well, he feels it quite strange that I've put my religion as 'Atheist' in my Orkut profile. It's true that atheism is not a religion. In fact, atheists are mostly opposed to …

Selfishness Is Virtue

On 20 May 200731 December 2011 By PriyaIn Atheism, Ayn Rand, philosophyLeave a comment

Some of them, like Ayn rand, have said this. Some of them have condemned it, praising altruistic behaviour. But is it possible to be truely altruistic? To help others, disregarding our own self-interest. Is it truely possible?As humans we are born selfish. Selfishness is our true nature. But like they say in spiderman, everybody loves …

The Purpose Driven Life?

I have heard about Rick Warren's book called "The Purpose Driven Life". A lot of people have told me that the book is really good and that it has helped them a lot. So I borrowed this book from my friend to read it during the weekend. But before I talk about the book, I …

My Temple Tours in India

Last time, three years ago, when I went to India, we only went to Thirupathi. But this time in 2006, we went to a lot of different temples. We went to Thiruvannamalai, Srirangam, Namakkal, and Palani. And what more, it was Ayappan season and so we saw a lot of guys in black clothes. Once …

An Educational Scandal

On 19 February 2007 By PriyaIn Atheism, education, religion9 Comments

I borrow the above post title from Richard Dawkins's book, The God Delusion. Steven Layfield, the Head of Science at Emmanuel College in Gateshead, once gave a lecture called The Teaching of Science: A Biblical Perspective. For goodness's sake, he is the head of science! And it seems that he has no masala in his …

The gullibility of children

On 17 February 2007 By PriyaIn Atheism, IMCB, religion, social construct8 Comments

It has been a long time since I've posted. Most of the time, I was busy and even when I had the time, I was not in the mood to blog. Not to mention not having any topic at hand to discuss. But now I have. I have always been wondering why so many scientists …

Just random rant

On 28 January 200731 December 2011 By PriyaIn Atheism, Personal, ranting8 Comments

Going to dinner with my colleagues and discussing with them about adult issues is making me feel kind of weird. All of a sudden I feel really grown up while I'm actually not. My attachment to my parents have also diminished. Nowadays I feel like they are quite irritating, but only sometimes. I feel that …

But i've learnt something from this week's work. I am really getting the hang of this researcher job and i'm starting to like it. …
