Dawkins’ contrarian ethos has taken him from science advocate to conspiracy theory peddler as he works with reactionaries and pseudoscience promoters like Helen Joyce, Andrew Gold, Chris Williamson, and the like. So much for embracing the Poetry of Reality.

Skeptics Visit A Reiki Healer
I visited a reiki master and the experience was interesting to say the least. Like anyone trying something new and unusual, I had several questions: Is reiki real? Is reiki a hoax? Is it a religion? Although I had some preconceived notions, I attempted to enter my reiki session as unassuming as possible. However, after my reiki treatment, I felt I had good reasons to remain unconvinced that reiki healing has much merit. It seems that the practitioners’ claims relied on anecdotal evidence and the experience of the placebo effect. In that way, reiki is much like other forms of alternative medicine.

An Atheist’s Thoughts on Eastern Religion

Uploaded 31-03-18

Is eastern religion atheistic? If it is, should we even oppose it? Is eastern religion as harmful as western religion? In Singapore’s Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, I thought through these questions, and thought you’d be at least mildly interested in my answers to them.
Buddhism vs. Christianity, Hinduism, the caste system, and faith, all briefly addressed here. Any other eastern concepts I should touch on later? Reincarnation or karma, perhaps? Let me know!
