A couple blogs I've recently revisited have inspired me to become active as a blogger. The blogger on one [http://bethelburnett.blogspot.com/] is a Christian clergyman and on the other [http://schoonmaker.wordpress.com/] an apparent perpetual student of philosophy.What it is about them that inspires me to start blogging is that in both instances I see that the blogger's chosen area of

Why did I name this blog Complete Materialist?Simply this: I'm convinced beyond all doubt that all phenomena in the universe result from all-natural -- that is, 100 percent supernatural-free -- material causes, with "material" meaning "matter and energy." So, for me, "materialist" encompasses not just physical matter as in quarks, chemical elements, polysaccharides, or diamonds, but also energy,

Over at Atheist Homeschooler, I posed the following questions to Fiery Ewok on the Open Forum 3 post. Since Complete Materialist is a new blog and I don't have an established readership, I'd like to get some idea of who's reading, what interests them, fires 'em up and makes them tick. Then, when my choice of blog topics is up in the air, I'll let my reader's interests tip the scales in favor of

Religion is Morally WrongMost people do not concern themselves with the workings of nature, nor do they attempt to understand how their experience of the world compares to other’s experience of that same world. Observation shows us that most persons are quite content to unquestioningly maintain whatever worldview they were handed as a child. In most cases, that worldview involves some form of

During my several decades of life, I have never experienced, nor have I witnessed in others, any phenomenon one could consider supernatural. Like most people, in my childhood I was surrounded by adults who had been taught that supernatural explanations - religion, psychic powers, card reading and the like - were to be accepted right along with the naturalistic explanations of science. Those same
