RATIONAL ATHEIST

RATIONAL ATHEIST

Thank you,Mr. Mihir Chakravarti, for your prompt and

straightforward answer to my text on Pornography. 

My reflection is meant for all people of all persuasions,

even atheists. I am myself a rationalist, especially that I have 

taught Metaphysics without the help of religion. In fact, Rationalism

is like a detergent cleansing religious practices of superstition that

is rooted in fear of gods and evil spirits. This awareness of fear 

and our limitedness gives rise to greed and domination. It can only

be overcome by dialogue or covenanted relationships, 

service to the neighbour without distinction of caste and creed. 

I found God through Metaphysics or the affirmation of being.

The craving of my intellect and will could not be satisfied until

I affirmed total truth and chose total good. All this was anterior 

to my Catholic Faith which only confirmed and reinforced the

investigations and conclusions of my strictly rational philosophy.

In my systematic enquiry on Jesus Christ I found him to be a

Metaphysician par excellence. "Before Abraham was, I am."

Do send my article on Pornography to your rationalist friends

and circle. It would be interesting to learn their reactions.

With every good wish,

Sincerely yours,

Mervyn Carapiet
