Im glad you found it interesting. Perception plays a large role in what we think and feel. Understanding the complexities of perception and how your perceptions develope will put you on the right track.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perception
"What one perceives is a result of interplays between past experiences, including one’s culture, and the interpretation of the perceived. If the percept does not have support in any of these perceptual bases it is unlikely to rise above perceptual threshold."

"The processes of perception routinely alter what humans see. When people view something with a preconceived concept about it, they tend to take those concept and see them whether or not they are there."

holy shit im not reading all that!

Atheism is just another dogma.
It makes shit of organized religion - but, I had logically dismantled my catholic belief system by the time I was 12, so it's no biggie, religions are crazy, power-hungry institutions. But, atheism or science have in no way proven the lack of omnipotent extra-dimensional forces that some traditionalists may call "God".

I find atheism as amusing as main-stream religion; the same overly-dogmatic BS with no real proof. They've got their holy book - the god delusion, hail dawkins. It's pretty funny. Materialism? Really? That's a little '19th century', don't you think? Have you not heard the good news from the problem child of physics - quantum physics - that; every electron is the yawning mouth of a wormhole that leads to quadrillions of higher dimensional universes that are completely beyond rational apprehension?
Have fun saying God can't possibly exist because you can't measure it with your ruler & pencil, while a moment later denouncing jesus lovers as ignorant fools - are you feeling enlightened? :P
This isn't aimed at anyone in particular, I just enjoy ridiculing the atheist point of view because they think they're reasoning logically from religion being BS, to the creation of this unfathomably brilliant universe/multiverse being a random occurrence - 'the hubble telescope can't see any God, so there!". Flying the banner of science, while failing to acknowledge that at the root of modern science was an angelic revelation that was visited upon Rene DesCartes. People that think 'the big bang' is a sufficient explanation of the question; 'why are we here?'.
Big bang theory states: EVERYTHING SPRANG FROM NOTHING, IN A SINGLE INSTANT, FOR NO REASON.
How is that any different from "... & God said; 'let there be light!'..."?
I think most people have no clue & should stop acting like they know what the f*uck they're talking about - even if "experts" say so.
& the rest of us, that KNOW "God" & it's endless implications & boundless love...
Ummm...
We've taken magic mushrooms before.
:P


Word.

Atheism is the lack of belief in gods.

That's it.

Athiesm doesn't need to disprove god. If it is asserted that something exists, then the person asserting that existence should provide proof if they expect it to be believed.

Some atheists are even deists. They believe there may be something out there, but it is not the small gods of man.

But of course! A lot of anti-theists seem to be running around calling themselves atheists. That's my main beef. Apologies if my wording was a little off, It's a lazy sunday with much super silver haze.

ahh yes another voice of reason dogfaceddemon im with you on your feelings on this subject. i find religious types and atheists generally to be equally lost and missing the big picture. either group is normally unable to look at things in a different manner than they already do or have been taught its funny. both are also normally equally arrogant and sure of themselves and unwilling to hear anything against there beliefs as well fucking humans. as always the truth is in the grey somewhere. whats funny is the more you really understand things the more its clear you know nothing. +rep

My god is that of a mystical giant pink invisible unicorn. The world sits on it's back, which holds us up, suspended in a void of infinity. And this Giant pink invisible unicorn sits on the back of an infinite succession of other mystical giant pink invisible unicorns. Ergo, the universe consists purely of pink unicorns on the backs of other pink unicorns. Your Gods, and your Science are all lies. Your preachers and intellectuals have been lying to you. Don't believe me? close your eyes. Close your eyes and call out to her. After this open your eyes and tell me what you see.
