Athiests

[TerranceL]

The euphoric fedora types are insufferable. Those guys are a big part of the reason I avoid forums that are specifically for atheists.

Yeah people who think they are the bees knees because they belong to a specific group used to really really amuse me.

Then I ran into the "oh wow ur stupid u belif in god" atheist.

They are the CoD players of religious discourse.

 

[EnemyOfReason]

I love religion and like to see what the other said has to say about things. I also want to push Atheist festivities onto others like:
The Annual Baby Eating Competition.
The Immoral Convention
and The Soul Trade.

Kidding aside though I was a Deist hopping between religions testing out the waters and I liked to be attached to my native group(Christians) to reassure myself why I stopped being a Christian and frankly it has worked.

Atheists like Indiana Jones? I'm not sure what type you mean.

That would be awesome, and that's the message we should be sending to the general community about what atheists are like, lol..

Oh, Marcus. What are you trying to do, scare me? You sound like my mother. We've known each other for a long time. I don't believe in magic, a lot of superstitious hocus pocus.

Yup, right image. Too bad Spielberg ruined it with the ending to the movie.

I'm here for the discourse on matters spiritual.

Atheists have spiritual lives.

What does spiritual mean?

 

[Eudaimonist]

What does spiritual mean?

To me, spirituality refers to a vantagepoint one has on the deep issues of life (assuming one has one), and being a spiritual person means to have an interest in improving one's vantagepoint on such issues for the sake of personal growth or transcendence.

I sometimes refer to myself as a spiritual atheist.

Carl Jung might be a good example of someone who was a spiritual agnostic, which would be similar to a spiritual atheist?

I still cannot depart the word spiritual from New Thought and idiotic theology

 

[Eudaimonist]

Carl Jung might be a good example of someone who was a spiritual agnostic, which would be similar to a spiritual atheist?

I think that Carl Jung is solidly "gnostic" theist. Did he ever call himself an agnostic?

I'm thinking that Carl Sagan may be a better famous example, even though he called himself an agnostic.

What is "New Thought"? I'm not familiar with the term.

Not sure. I have read some of his work and he had the view that God may or may not exist from what i gathered, which made me think he was more agnostic then gnostic. But who knows. It's a fine line between the two sometimes.

 

[bhsmte]

I am just wondering why y'all joined the Christian forums. Not upset, I enjoy chatting with you guys. Just curious, what made you seek out to join a Christian forum?

God Bless

Several reasons:

-intellectual discussion back and forth, which is usually more stimulating when you have differing views, as it gets boring when everyone agrees.
-The entertainment value. Some on CF, are simply entertaining to observe how they justify their beliefs.
-Being a psychology buff, there is tons of interesting stuff on CF and it always interests me to see the different personalities, motivations and psychology in play on this site.

It is like New Age but worst. They really emphasize the word spiritual and Oprah is it's primary supporter. So the minute I hear this quacky term I think of Oprah and 99% of her stupidity.
I do not like using words that have no meaningfulness outside of my own subjectivity. Spiritualism has no objective nor subjective meaning that infers upon my mind anything significant. Much like the word god

 

[MehGuy]

Calling myself spiritual personally seems to objective for my tastes.

 

[MehGuy]

This kind:

Would you count TheAmazingAtheist as one of these types?

I always get flack from friends and people for liking the guy, lol. I talk to TheAmazingAtheist on tumblr sometimes.. nice guy..

I never heard of this Aalewis fellow. He strikes me as vomit worthy.

There's no fine line in this interview.

Fortunately, Oprah and "New Thought" (whatever that is, I don't watch Oprah) did not invent the term spirituality, and don't have a copyright on the term. I can understand how the word would be a turnoff if you are associating it with her! Yikes!

Okay.
