What aspects of the atheist religion do you like/dislike?

Blaming everyone else? Well, it is everyone elses fault, isn't it? I've only been around for a couple decades, so I obviously can't take the blame for things that happened before I was born.
 
no, maybe you cant take the blame, but you have the opportunity to make the difference that was needed before...
like saying, Jesus or God doenst give a fucking shit if we cuss(yay)...you gotta be kidding me, there is plenty that is let slide in this world, talking shit, is spreading lies and filth with ones language -
its all very interesting interpreted by ones self.
;-)
 
Now, yes. And hopefully I can. I'm just not sure how to go about it yet, seeing as how I am the most hated minority in the world, and my opinion on a lot of subjects seems to be polar opposites of the norm.

And we atheists, we aren't exactly the most organized of folk. Which is why it's been so difficult trying to change things recently. We don't really have any charters or fixed positions to gather around.
 
i see - just be yourself and help others feel better about doing the same around you.!

you atheists, yall are plenty organized in ways, you have all those sciences and graphs etc. politics and stuff to pack away !

lol

i think sssssssssss is watching cooking shows BTW
 
Well, besides the God thing, there really isn't anything else to link us. You could be an atheist and a capitalist, an atheist and a socialist, and atheist and a post-modernist, an atheist and a fascist (though that last one is quite rare)...

We don't have a book that we all agree upon as the foundation of the universe. Heck, you could even be an atheist and actually despise science and multiculturalism (there's apparently some atheistic neo-nazis over on YouTube).

ya i don't get it, it's everyone else's fault why my taste buds reject my food.


.....maybe i should stop listening to other peoples preferences and find my own, but its too easy to listen to what others tell me to do, after all hes a professional cook, what do i know about my taste buds.

sorry its an old book title.


this line is from the film Crimes and Misdemeanors, has always stuck with me, its about a boxing match....

“His brother turns to the family priest and says, 'Father, pray for him.' And the priest said, 'I will, but if he can punch, it'll help."


... and ill leave it alone for now.

I wouldn't consider atheism a religion at all or atleast i don't think of it as such. I just have not seen any existence of a god so why should i base any of my beliefs on a figure that does not exist? That's pretty much how i look at the whole thing.
 
-ratSdoG- DogHead -

sometimes, i like to assume that -
God is maybe more of all the elements + the force that created the structure to allow the conditions to exist, and the space for them to originate in - or that God is the light which casts no shadows, and we live in the shadows of light remaining.

The face of God perhaps, is in the shape of our surroundings, the sound of our voices, the air we are breathing and the breath we blow, the people we see, and what of us all is reflected to others. Could be that the Face of God is the Faith of the "Church" of Our~Own Bodies Blood and Being ...
maybe!

hence the appeal of humanism.
 
Agnostic could be considered a religious belief.

why? if agonisticism is important in some cultural conflict, there could be many reasons to debate/legislate "under the agnostic banner," but none of those motivations could be religious in nature, so it's not a religious force in society or individuals in any way*. also, to suggest that agnosticism is "a belief" entirely misses the point of what agnosticism is.

*and even if somebody is agnostic but praising/using "spiritual but not religious" practices, his agnosticism is separate from his spirituality. agnosticism is simply the person's recognition that "i don't know," even if his spiritual experiences might suggest other ideas. agnosticism isn't an active force in society like actual belief systems, it can only *respond* to the negative aspects of religion and other belief systems (in particular, respond to the false certainty these religions offer, and the consequences of that).
 
So many atheist are just anti-christian. That's the first problem I have

but also there is the paramount. When an athies is widdled down to the core they say that a christian can not explain where god came from before the universe. The problem with that is that science can not prove where the energy that takes the form of matter at the moment came from either. It just existed. So it's somewhat of a paradox to say that God cannot exist because no one knows where he came from because that would me we don't existe because we don't know where the energy that exists in the universe came from
 
The biblical controdiction I have yet to have seen logically debunked. GOD IS IMPERFECT by his own word

So, we have a machine. Now this machine stamps perfect circles out of metal. It will never break down, it never needs repair or servicing. It is a perfect machine. But one day the machine made an imperfect circle. The machine thusly is not only imperfect but was always imperfect because it would and did have the capacity to fail.

Now we apply this to God, god is a supposedly perfect being, god created an imperfect being. Seeing as something perfect cannot create something imperfect god is imperfect. This applies to both satan/ other cherubs and angels
as well as Adam an eve.

The most common argument against this is also illogical. And that is god created them imperfect on purpose; why you ask? Becasue that would mean that perfection can contain or create imperfection, meaning that perfection can contain imperfection which contradicts the meaning of perfection.


P.S. side I am personally not of any Abrahamic faith because I deplore the tactics and pompousness of God. There are people I don't get alogn with who by god's word I would see in heaven that I would not like to see. And personally I am not into having my entire mind taken away from me by "HIS GLORY" I'd rather stay myself thank you.
