Gandharva's blog

This article is a response to Sketch, an atheist who I met through the StumbleUpon website. He asked me where my convictions actually lie in relation to religion. It's a good question, because I say I'm not an atheist, but I clearly consider atheist my allies. I get along atheist because they rely on logic rather than dogma, and they lean on science rather than holy books. Saying that I am not atheist implies that I believe in god, but I don't believe in god in the way that most people would imagine. God is a word that has been very misused, but rather than accept or reject the definition that they tried to force on me I redefined the word.

Actually to call it a definition is a little bit of an understatement. It's more like a logical construct. It usually takes me several hours to give my full thesis, and I won’t put you through that, but will give a short sumary.

The bible states on no uncertain terms that gays, atheist and rebellious children should be taken out and killed in public. There is something seriously wrong with our culture if we still consider this book a reference point for our morality and justice.

This video does a good job of driving the point home. He repeats the word "repulsive" a few too many times for my taste though. Oh well.

After 6 months of working on other things (mostly web design and graphics) I have started to record a new album. I have a number of songs chosen already, but the song list is not set in stone yet. I may even write some stuff specifically for the album.

I have decided to post the music in stages so that people can hear the progress as the album progresses. So if you want to hear what I have done so far, you can click here to go straight to the latest update. You can also subscribe to an rss of the update by clicking the rss button on the top right and subscribing to the feed with an rss client.

I found this posted on an evangelical Christian's blog. It's bullshit (in my humble opinion) but I am reposting it here to insure that my rebuttal is seen. (I posted my comment on the comments section, but I have my doubt that it will stay up very long.) Enjoy.

God vs Science

A science professor begins his school year with a
lecture to the students, “Let me explain the problem science has with
religion.” The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class
and then asks one of his new students to stand.

“You’re a Christian, aren’t you, son?”

“Yes sir,” the student says.

“So you believe in God?”
