Religion/Spirituality what's with all the atheists on the coli?

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

I've never understood this idea that atheism makes you freer or more enlightened than anyone else.. Prescribing to a school of thought is simply that, prescribing to a school of thought. It seems that many atheists are a mirror image of the evangelical Christians they mock- proselytizing their message to all who will listen. They both espouse the need to preach their message at all costs and that the fate of mankind depends on it. Oh the hypocrisy..

Do atheists have a better understanding of the world around them than say me, a Christian? Or a Muslim? Or a Buddhist? Here's a novel question.. Are all atheist freethinkers? And furthermore, are all freethinkers atheists? Aren't the means by which one comes to the conclusion of theism vs atheism what determines free thought? I consider myself a freethinker while I hold the Bible to be the infallible Word of God. This was done not by blind faith- "because my Bible says so", but through a bona fide, honest, and consistent attempt to weigh claims and evidence by which I came to a conclusion. No one has all of the answers, but if after an honest evaluation of all available evidence one makes a conclusion that isn't inherited, coerced, or ridden in guilt, then they are thinking freely and should be commended, no?

Afterall, a child growing up in an atheist household and never examining their non-belief is no different than a child growing up in a Christian household never examining their belief.

Atheists are better equipped to handle the observable reality of the universe rather than invoking supernatural, unsubstantiated beliefs (that are very specific and largely untrue by virtue)that don't serve to answer much of anything.

So yes. I stand by this statement. Christians are losing in life.

Not believing in god says nothing about how you vote, what you value in life, how you think, or what your morals are. It doesn't judge what you wear, how you eat, and how much you exercise.

Its simply the lack of belief in a claim. Therest is up to you.

Let me ask you the difference between Old and New Testament....

Do you know if I follow the old testament alone I'm not a Christian?

I love it when christian dumbasses say shyt like "I don't follow the OT"...then proceed to quote and follow the OT...

Here's a pretty interesting conversation between the guys and a theist on last week's Atheist Experience.

Start at the 4:30 mark to skip intro and whatnot

No, atheism is NOT a philosophy, it is the rejection of one. Atheism is no more a philosophy than baldness is a hair color. I am saying you have a plethora of bad information because you do, like saying atheism is a philosophy.

The reason the Genesis passage is troubling is because A) the passage suggests that it works (and according to you is the inerrant word of 'god') B) Your god did nothing to tell Jacob that what he was doing was dumb as hell and did not explain genetics to him.

The reason irrational theists intent on bringing Armageddon is solely the fault of religion is because without the dumbass idea of armageddon they wouldnt have the idea of bringing on armageddon. That is 100% the fault of irrational belief in god and iron aged scribblings of uneducated sheep herders.

So you can reject an ideology without a counter ideology?

We gon make up the rules as we go on the internet huh?

I'm glad that life offline doesn't work like this......

Atheism doesn't assert anything.

Its the lack of belief. Thats literally it. It only gets ascrbied as being something because theists think you're asserting something more than you are.

Its like this:

If you say you went to the store today, I can say, " I don't believe you"

I'm NOT saying that you didn't go to the store. I'm just saying that I don't believe you went to the store.

If you can provide evidence of you going to the store, like a receipt or a shopping bag, i'll be more inclined to believe you.

 

[Fervid]

Atheism is the default. Do you think babies have religious belief? It take years of indoctrination in your formative years to develop religious belief.

instead they say stuff like, "you cant prove I didnt go to the store" then we pull out the video of son being at the pool during the time he claimed to be at the store and then he claims, "the store works in mysterious ways..."
