Speak up!

Chief Walkin Eagle · Jul 1, 2013

Im talking to all of you who frequently read through these threads but never give your two cents on whats being discussed. Tell us a little about yourself. What do you believe in? What do you not believe in? Is there anything you think is true that others find completely ridiculous? Why do you think some of the things discussed here are ridiculous? How has this subforum changed the way you think? Im expecting more atheists to post here because there seems to be an amount of pride that goes along with atheism. All are welcome though! :mrgreen:

What do I believe in: Reality
What do I not believe in: God/magic
Is there anything I think is true that others find completely ridiculous?: If you answer yes to this question, it's probably a good indicator of your level of sanity.
Why do you think some of the things discussed here are ridiculous?: Because some of the people here are undoubtedly nuts, and as such they spout off their crazy/cultist views on a daily basis.
How has this sub-forum changed the you think?: It hasn't because I recognize the relationship science has with reality.

This may sound like I'm a militant preachy atheist, but honestly I didn't come at it from that perspective. You asked the questions, I answered them honestly.

In the 4th question I'm referring to "OldGrowth420", who does nothing on here but create spam threads with nothing but bible verses in them, and to make it worse no one else even posts in his threads, so they're just endless spam threads of bible verses from someone who is obviously insane.

I believe in god and the after life, I don't believe all stoners are a waste of space :lol:

I think we all have guardian Angels but mine is crap. Some of the things discussed here are ridiculous because half the ppl are stoned or pissed and haven't got a clue what they are talking about. And this subforum has changed my way of thinking because I always thought stoners were full of shit and now I have proof. But I love you all and have become a better person for knowing you. ;-)

I would love to chime in more frequently in this forum. But I only go on this site from my phone. With that in mind, this section of the forum typically requires quite long posts, for descriptive and clarification purposes. Long story short, it's a major pain in the ass to form long paragraphs without multiple typos, which I hate doing. Secondly I live on west coast time and normally only check pretty late, and many of the things I would save have already been said. So I just throw a like.

I'm a mid 20's kid just trying to find an accurate way through life, some person who would rather be right and sad than wrong and happy..

I believe in the rule of logic and the scientific method to discern reality

I think science is true, some people find that to be completely ridiculous..

I think some of the things discussed here are ridiculous because those that present ridiculous ideas don't know why, or choose not to believe why their ideas are ridiculous.

This subforum, and more specifically, a particular few members, have changed the way I think by challenging my previous beliefs and holding me accountable to my current ones.

I'm thirty; give or take a couple years either way.... Don't want to get too specific

I believe in what is demonstrable. Even if we don't know what causes it, it should still be demonstrable.

I don't think it's ridiculous that people believe in god, or supernatural things. People grow up in different areas, and typically only believe what they're subjected to by authority figures.

I think it's ridiculous when people are confronted about their beliefs in the supernatural by people with logical arguments, and then reject the logical argument for their unjustified beliefs. If your belief in a god is dependent on omitting rational thought, that's a problem, regardless of how good it makes you feel, or how much hope it gives you, ad nauseum.

The person holding the belief isn't ridiculous for being inculcated with that specific belief, it's the unwavering dedication to any belief that's logically implausible; that's ridiculous. The willful ignorance cloaked in 'comfort' or 'moderation' pisses me off more than anything anyone could ever believe in.

So, in short; Willful ignorance and an inability to process new, compelling information in a logical way to redefine one's beliefs, are what piss me off, and I find ridiculous.
