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!

How Peaceful Religion Kills | Religion as a Placebo

Uploaded 14-01-18

Faith healing proves that even peaceful religion can kill. Children dying in Christian Science and Followers of Christ is a regular occurrence. Reliance on placebo rather than on science based medicine is dangerous, and it’s easy to see why.

Whether it’s cancer treatment, mental health care, or a time of crisis, you’re better off trusting science, because prayer doesn’t work.

Do you believe in any conspiracy theories? If your answer is yes, chances are that belief is predicated on a deeper belief that constitutes a significant part of your worldview. In this way, conspiracy theories are often believed due to mandatory assumption rather than their evidential basis. Conspiracy belief is not always, but often, a symptom of bad ideas.

Whether you're religious or atheist, examine your core beliefs. Do they demand that you accept anything which is without evidence? If so, I charge you to question your ideas and move your worldview a bit closer to reality.

The Center for Aromatherapy Research and Education is an organization created to lend credibility to Young Living Essential Oils. Subjected to a tiny bit of scrutiny, however, it's shown to be total nonsense.

Here I tackle the "research" presented on their website, as well as their certification process. There's plenty still to be criticized, namely the numerous spelling errors and the ridiculous process by which Gary Young developed the Raindrop Technique.
