25 Responses to “My Definition of “Atheism” and “Religion””
We must kill religion. We could do this by pressuring states to tax religion and then having the ACLU sue the state for violating separation of church and state in the establishment clause and thus finally end religion forever.
Atheism is man’s ability to reason objectively. Atheism is not close minded it asserts affirmatively that religion only exists in man’s imagination and that it does not encompass reality.
Religion is terrrorism or in the least a form of coersive psyop weapon which seeks to control other men’s behavior. Religion is moral superstition.
Agnostics are fense sitters. They are indecisive and cannot committthemselves to any position. It’s a cop out.
It sounds to me like you’re an middle ground Agnostic. In that, there is no real evidence for UFO’s, but there isn’t definitive proof that there can’t be UFO’s either. So it’s not worth discussing until more evidence is found. Atheism refers to a lack of belief in God. Religion is independent of that. You can be an Agnostic Atheist, or an Agnostic theist. Not sure, but you believe that there is probably no God, or you believe in some form of God.
How do you distinguish between Secular Humanisn and Athiesm? At least regarding your reference to the 50/50 Athiest, who is not positive that God does not exist? Secular Humanism, to me, seems to rely on its own definition, rather than in terms of religious belief. In other words, to them (including me), religion is an issue that does not require addresssing, any more than belief in UFOs or the validity of professional wrestling. Those things are simply not relevant.
A theist. I use the term atheist to mean just that, without theism, no theistic beliefs.
I too am disgusted by the things in your list of things you find disgusting. Oddly enough I was disgusted by those things before I applied the term atheist to myself.
I know believers who are disgusted by the very same things.
I see nothing wrong with calling atheism a religion, just so long as we, as Christians, receive the same respect, i.e. defining Christianity as atheism. It’s the least everyone can do, in order to arrive at a mutual understanding of the other’s worldview.
Please, if your going to quote the bible, atleast google the scripture. Its says to put God above your family and friends, not to hate. And explain to me how the bible is contradictory please. And i dont throw out reality, i live in it, for certain. In order for this “debate” to continue, you have to atleast explain yourself fully, or show me the source of your information.
“the bible teaches us to “love our enemy’s”
And to hate yourself, your family, and your friends, and only love Jesus. I’m sorry I don’t have time to look up the passage, but I can when I get back in two weeks.
“Anything i believe, i must first confirm it with the word of God, which is the bible”
And if the bible is incorrect or contradictory, which it -is-, then what? You must do like Ken Ham and throw out reality, merely because a book that says it is correct must be true.
That’s bullshit.
“I infact am a christian, and i do think critically.”
But not about your religion. That’s the main issue here. It’s possible to be quite brilliant, but religion survives because it created a blind spot in people’s minds. This is clear in your case at least because of your other comment with all those stupid arguments, and the mischaracterization of what a theory is. It’s not a guess, as you imply.
“No, infact, followers follow, leaders lead”
Completely irrelevant to anything.
“Do you not think if there was no God we would have destroyed ourselves by now?”
I think we’re lucky to have not destroyed ourselves in some god’s name yet, precisely the opposite.
“Do you think there would even be such athing as a bible?”
Cherry picking much? There’s dozens of different holy books that claim to be the only true one. All of your arguments here are frankly idiotic.
No, infact, followers follow, leaders lead. Do you not think if there was no God we would have destroyed ourselves by now? Do you think there would even be such athing as a bible? would not people throw it out and forget about it? I dont think science is “evil” or whatever, i think alot of the theoretical stuff is controversial, and when it comes down to it just theory’s. And im not claiming a single thing, but the gospel, and of Jesus.
Yes, im fully aware of this. there are, and will be many times in my life when im incorrect. You can judge christians all you want, but none of us claim to be perfect, we are all humans. They have their own problems, and it saddens me to see someone with obvious intelect thinking so shallow. I infact am a christian, and i do think critically.
Actually, first of all, the bible teaches us to “love our enemy’s”, the “doctrines” are all over the place, including youtube. We dont hate other religions, we look at them like misinformed brothers. Anything i believe, i must first confirm it with the word of God, which is the bible. Its not what i say that matters. I have never said anything here, that i have later said something different, because my beliefs are founded on a rock. Dont get it twisted brah.

lol
yeah
My previous roommate put it up. I wasn’t that impressed when I saw it (all style, not much substance).
But it takes up space. I can’t remember the last time I actually bought a poster. I think all of mine are gifted or orphaned.
Except the world map.
I bought that.

Wait a minute, we are listening to a person who has a 300 poster on his wall :S

Atheists FTW!!

Have you heard of the ACA in Austin? You should join.

A point of interest, not of contention.
February 8th, 2010 at 11:17 pm
You ramble too much. You lost me on the first sentenbce and quite frankly, you’re scary. atheistic or not.
February 9th, 2010 at 12:11 am
well by definition it is but I suppose you can just call it a “set of beliefs” if dont want to classify yourself.
February 9th, 2010 at 12:42 am
if you were really an agnostic you would probably do things in case there was a God…
agnosticism makes no real sense to me…
February 9th, 2010 at 12:43 am
Yes, but many Christians say what they believe isn’t a religion.
February 9th, 2010 at 12:58 am
atheism is a lack of religion, and no one says Christianity isn’t a religion.
February 9th, 2010 at 1:24 am

Only one bible, the most famous book in history. Oh so the cold war was about religion? And yes it is relevant. Which are you? a follower or a leader?
