There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |
Fighting pseudoscience isn't free. We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with ![]() ![]() |

Illogic[edit]
Why is "eternal conscious punishment" defined as evil? I am atheist but that makes no sense to me. Crimes like "violence, killing, rape, [and] torture" are only evil because they violate the victim's property right to themself, not because they cause suffering. You could define any random emotion as the "ultimate evil" and another as the "ultimate good" and it would make just as much (non)sense. What is the motivation for choosing one evolutionarily randomized pattern in the brain over another?
