The Soulful Contrarian
For those not familiar with the Oedipus complex, it is a psychoanalytic theory coined by Sigmund Freud to exemplify the psychological sexual attraction of a boy towards his mother. According to Freud, this occurs in the third phallic stage of development (ages 3-6). The theory discloses the subconscious yearning for a boy to sexually possess his mother and kill his father (figuratively speaking). More relatively put; Read the rest of this entry »
Idolatry consists of any form of worship; whether it is material trappings or those of theological persuasion. Under the guise of anthropomorphism (god like us; a failed argument), the conceptualization of the Christian god exemplifies its disdain towards humanities vows towards other deities; this is disclosed as the first of the Ten Commandments issued to Moses; supposedly. The very fact that god would articulate this demand suggests an atheistic bent towards humanity exercising varied beliefs amid other entities. For example: a Christian who does not believe in the god of Islam; by definition is atheistic (without the belief) towards Allah. A Muslim who denies the existence of the Christian god is also atheistic (without the belief) towards Christianity. I agree with Sam Harris that the word “Atheism” should not even exist at all; as the term indirectly acknowledges what a god is initially. However, sense it is a distinct contrarian assertion against the tenets of religionists, god also fits into the category of an atheist as well; it is against the beliefs of all other gods before it…a narcissistic atheist at that.
I guess the bible does inculcate some kernels of truth after all: “God created man in the image of himself”- Genesis 1:27. That’s why we are atheists.

Silicone wrist bands are an invaluable way to disclose the importance of societal resolve; such as cancer, Aids, Sickle Cell Anemia, the famous Live Strong by Lance Armstrong, and PETA to name a few. However, there is also a pertinent and dangerous aspect amid our youth perpetuating a stagnation of thinking free Read the rest of this entry »
From time immemorial you existed without acknowledgement
Without reciprocation of duty from humanity; a saturation of darkness you bathed the sky
How long has it been…eons since the auspice of your life articulated upon the lips of mortals? A dim; yet, spark in a distant space reserved for your coming; my intuition tells me so Read the rest of this entry »
Who is this I see in this glass of life
Is it an image of my physical or a deeper doorway to my spiritual?
Who is this I see; hair locked; sprouting with the resemblance from a mane of a lion…I see my beginning
I see a time when gods were not apportions but men who reached the pinnacle of enlightenment…However, time has changed now…due to distortions of my own sacred documents Read the rest of this entry »
Souls are transparent; the existence of what is; the moment of the true
How can I…what is there to find beneath the bedrock of affliction?
Of familiar predictions; fictions of misinterpreted reality
I stand in the breach to repair what was broken by insecure minds; feeble hearts blind; yet, too occupied with shattered mirrors of them; cracks too deep to mend
Could I mold you; could I console you with fictitious remnants of a distant fantasy?
Should I pretend to transcend what is not above me…I’m grounded and founded upon a foundation of the real; the feel is true
Those who seek perfection are like canines; chasing their tails of false revelations; an animation of a caricature lived
Me…well, I seek the barren; the void awaiting fulfillment
I seek pain where glory is stricken; where sickened hearts are corroded with fear; where hope is but a whisper tantalizing the ear
What does it mean anyway; perfection…but letters arranged to pronounce a sound of irrelevancy; puckered up lips with a bourgeois poise; surely, they know what it means
When I stopped searching for perfection…I found you; broken pieces of a flower waiting to be arranged by an imperfect hand wanting to spend an imperfect life with you
How wrong was I to believe perfection was NOT real…it was the mirror that was flawed
I see you now…perfect.

What exactly defines morality? Certainly one cannot excavate its hidden mystery through books, pamphlets, etc.—yet, through eons of opinionated power driven oligarchs, propaganda is the spoon fed vice we all have eaten from; a familiar taste indeed. Humanities moral codes have become the consensus of the majority; an esteemed programmatic virus controlling a pertinent; yet, forgotten element innate in humanity; ethics.
Solipsism is a philosophical term involving a narcissistic perspective about the non-existence of aspects outside of one’s own head. No other minds exist except for the one perceiving her/his particular reality. The developmental characteristics of infants incur a solipsist view of life; it is them, and them alone reeling through the valleys of the unknown—looking for meaning and connectivity amid their own realm. However, as infants obtain maturation through developmental phases of adolescents, etc., solipsism is no longer applicable; the belief that other children, teenagers, etc. share an intrinsic experience becomes actualized.
To implement the religiosity of the status quo, even as adults, the solipsist perspective becomes volatile with an intolerable thirst for missionary conviction. The belief that only their god exists (or even exist at all), or the authoritative proclamation that gays are an abomination (theologically motivated) to society is solipsism carried over into adulthood. By what merit does one proclaim the morality of the day; is it innate through some moral genetic DNA strand; or is it merely justifications through ancient writings concocted by people like us?
To be ethical is to transcend societal morality; an agreed upon status quo amid the oligarchy. Solipsism…the lack of maturation of an adult mind strapped in the girdle of theological infantilization; it’s all about me.

Theological non-cognitivism posits the improbability of articulating; quintessentially, what god is in propositional logic. I conversed with a bishop not too long ago

I remember conversing with some family and friends some time ago about my atheistic bent. Of course, I had to hear an ear full of of theological folly
