“I am worried that this will turn out cheesy. But I promised myself I would post it, no matter what. Why? I am doing this blog mostly for myself. I got something to say about atheism or maybe something to repeat. I am an atheist – if that isn’t clear so far. But I hate being pinned down. So as much as I am one, I’m gonna explain both sides of the equation. What is Atheism? I guess I’ll find out! Stay tuned.”

In the past two weeks I’ve rediscovered my intrigue and fascination with this project. Moreover, I’ve come to the decision I’m going to merge a part of my personal life with Spiralvent (my not-so-commercial venture). The topic? Atheism.

The video above says it all. I considered waiting until 2017 to begin posting, but, I feel the need to map this traversed temporal terrain with updates and posts that are less research heavy and more personal.  I’m not going to be doing these very often so once a month feels just right.

The first topic I’ve chosen will banner itself with the question, “What is Atheism?”. I believe there is no straight answer. I’ve seen it expressed in so many different ways including militant pride, to an outright rejection. There are mysteries in the classification; contradictions in the nomenclature.

While there is a dictionary meaning for the word, there is an expansive list of very large and varied implementations of the concept. My aim is not to invalidate any of them (or the ones that deserve some consideration at least), but to purport each of them as they exist in reality.

As for the blog itself, there is yet to be a chosen writing style. This will become clearer as progress is made.

Cheers,

Khalid.
