“I’ve often wondered how the term �'New Atheism�' gained such currency. It is a misnomer. There is nothing new about nonbelief. All of us, without exception, are born knowing nothing of God or gods, and acquire notions of religion solely through interaction with others � or, most often, indoctrination by others, an indoctrination usually commencing well before we can reason. Our primal state is, thus, one of nonbelief. The New Atheists (most prominently Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and the late Christopher Hitchens) have, in essence, done nothing more than try to bring us back to our senses, to return us to a pure and innate mental clarity.”

“Incompatibility is a misnomer in divorce. No human replicates another. They were compatible all the way from dating to wedding only to become incompatibility in wedlock? Weird! This is the case of two adult bodies clinging to the emotions and reasonings of babes. Ironically, that's what they call each other - babe.”

Ironically, that's what they call each other - babe.”

“It's a misnomer to think that life will always remain the same. It's not even healthy to think so. Time will always evince that there's nothing permanent. Life will change.”
