Death - My Final Answer!

[Lost Angel]

Strange that you're not offering any better answers.

What isn't strange is you piping up against one who dared answer; something I've come to expect from you guys.

If you think you can provide better answers, please feel free to do so.

Otherwise ...

The answer: ATHEISM IS NOT A RELIGION.

 

[dad]

So many opinions. So few sources

So much belief, so little time.

The answer: ATHEISM IS NOT A RELIGION.

What's this then: Britain's First Atheist Church?

 

[BluhdoftheLamb]

This is probably the good part of religion. It helps people feel good.m and that is what it SHOULD do. The problems arise when one person wants to force their religion on another.

But doesn't history show that it's the forcing it upon others that is the part that feels good? (Not buying into the feel good theology, sorry)

 

[BluhdoftheLamb]

I'm not about to watch a 56 minute video, but please tell me that Harris isn't so completely clueless as to think that every religion has believed in a meaningful afterlife.

I watched the first 3 minutes to find that unfortunately that does appear to be his position. I stopped watching after that.

I knew that w/o needing to watch, but thanks for the confirmation.

 

[BluhdoftheLamb]

No more so than one where one's mortal religious beliefs determine whether you get eternal paradise or eternal suffering. You'd think it'd be based on whether people deserve it...

This concept of "deserving heaven" is horribly skewed.

 

[Non sequitur]

What's this then: Britain's First Atheist Church?

One of the guys who brought it together said, "hey guys, we're not saying atheism is a religion at all. We're just build a useful community".

Either way, church =/= religion

Forcing evolution in schools and Gomorrah appreciation days and etc make some feel good.

 

[BluhdoftheLamb]

Gomorrah appreciation days

Gommorah appreciation days?

 

[Non sequitur]

Forcing evolution in schools and Gomorrah appreciation days and etc make some feel good.

Is that like Forcing Newton's theory of gravitation?

 

[dad]

Is that like Forcing Newton's theory of gravitation?

No. Gravity was taught even by the good guys who also taught about God. The real culprit so called sciences have to do with replacing God and creation.

 

[Non sequitur]

No. Gravity was taught even by the good guys who also taught about God. The real culprit so called sciences have to do with replacing God and creation.

And those "good guys" can do so in the church or any class that deals with religion.

Also, science and evolution don't replace "God" and it's not addressed.

 

[dad]

And those "good guys" can do so in the church or any class that deals with religion.

Evos can do it in a closet.

Also, science and evolution don't replace "God" and it's not addressed.

Be honest. Creation is taught in school as...Darwin's pond, or some silly version of it like a crevice or thermal vent, etc. Primordial soup is what they condensed the universe and creation of life to, both! Get suspicious people, consider the source! Snap out of it.

 

[AECellini]

blatant lie.

 

[dad]

blatant lie.

Tell us about the singularity hot soup and the first lifeform. God knows that the lie of so called science is clear and undeniable. Evos will wear it. I guarantee it.

Is this poor reading too?

Is Atheism a Religion

Here is the summary from the link:

In summary, then, if one is asking if Atheists believe in supernatural powers, the answer is, “No – Atheism is not a D1-religion.” If one is asking if Atheists should be protected by the Constitution, the answer is, “Yes, Atheism is a D2-religion.” And if one is asking whether Atheists can be moral, the answer will depend upon the participants’ D1-religious views. If an individual contends that belief in God is a requirement for a person to have D3-religion, the answer will be “no.” If that person accepts that morality is a human quality, that needs no supernatural approval, the answer is “yes.”

Do you consider yourselves exempt from discrimination, based on the standards set forth in the Equal Opportunity Act, as far as religion is concerned?

To wit, on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, genetic information, or age?

Thank you -- and you're entitled to think my own opinions are warped.

Yup.

Facts, evidence, reality can all take a hike if they don't conform to his personal beliefs. The main problem is that he sees absolutely nothing wrong with that mindset. Amazing, isn't it?
