Insight to Atheism

I don't really see how it's bad to "push your views on other people" as you put it. I'm definatly an atheist and when religous people come to my house (mormons) I don't think "GRRR! they came to my house those *****" I just think eh maybe we'll have an interesting conversation. And their actually usually pretty posative about it.

I'm not a fan though when people flaunt their opinion in class who aren't really intelligent. They tend to be more on the religous side. I mean the statement "oh well you can't prove god doesn't exist" just kills me.

[QUOTE="wis3boi"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] And we come back to your double standard. Anyway on what are you basing that the cards were Catholic?the_plan_man

Jesus loves me, Yes He does.

Cause the Bible Told me so.

i dont care for this,religions are cults full of brainwashed people living in fear of sin.i believe that yes there was a man named jesus and he brainwashed people into his religion to think he was the son of god...wake the **** up people.

yous are brainwashed,all the proof you need is just by watching one show of benny hinn early in the morning,just look at all those people falling over and having fake seizures just cause he touched them! yous would belive anything as long as its in the name of "god".

all i know is religion is moving out of this world and reality is moving in.

If people need someone believe in to help them in life, then cool i have no issue.

People who are saying stuff happens because god, god's way, bla bla bla. i can't stand it

Every time i have someone tell me go read a bible, i laugh and ask which version, which relgion, which author...

Good read, reflects my thoughts pretty well.

The opening post was amusingly self-defeating with regards to social tension.

I don't really mind letting religious people talk to me about God either as long as they're not annoying about it. That being said, I generally don't open the door when religious people come a knocking because it can be impossible to get rid of some of them without getting rude. But I will talk to them in public places like my campus for instance.

Some of them can be like annoying car salesmen tho.

My brother is a Christian and when he used the "I all ready have a religion" line to end the conversation with some Mormons, they tried to tell him that Mormonism was exactly the same as what my brother believed. It was pretty slimy.

I didn't bother reading that whole thing, seemed like a lot of drivel to me.

My question would be, why does it matter? Why is this such an important issue to people? Why is this always discussed? Atheist, theist, rastafarian, idgaf. We're all human, that's what counts.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Surprising religious people can be approached as well as atheists. Encountered a couple Mormons walking around the neighborhood. I just told them I already had a religion and they left me alone. Quite polite. I don't see the issue.LJS9502_basic

Then they would try to get him to come to their church. :lol:

There's no stopping some of those guys. I think they have to meet quotas or something, but I could be wrong.

Disagree with the entire post....LJS9502_basic

Well religion is something I don't care about and no I don't believe in God, just don't try to get me into it and it's fine, if not I'm not afraid to fight back.

The thought process of atheism, which includes logic, critical thinking and reasoning, disallows decisions that may harm one's self. Wars and unnecessary conflicts have negative impacts for people and countries in terms of economics, law, and well-being. The rise of atheism therefore can be said as the rise of world peace.iliatay

Don't you get it, man?

Atheists lack empathy and ability to sacrifice! That's why all atheists refuse to adopt a collectivist mindset because that's left exclusively to religious belief and has no other factors that can influence whether someone adopts an individualist or collectivist philosophy. Also, let's not forget that everyone having an individualist philosophy that is concerned with one's own interests while disregarding the interests of others outright is a scenario in which conflict is absolutely impossible!

It makes so much sense!

I do realize that i bashed religion alot in there but i did it mostly for compare and contrast way of developing my arguements. Keeping religion and beliefs to yourself can still drive religious corruption. There is no reason to believe in these thousand year-old ideas.

Did you consider my earlier comment about collectivism vs. individualism not being exclusive to religion and the conflicts that can happen on a philosophical bases between the two paradigms as well as within?

I'm sure my analysis of alternate philosophical conclusions is an enriching subject to explore.

[QUOTE="wis3boi"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] And we come back to your double standard. Anyway on what are you basing that the cards were Catholic?the_plan_man

Eh, wis3boi clarified back on page 2 that he didn't mean that atheists should preach atheism and Christians shouldn't, he meant that atheists should be entitled to their beliefs as should Christians, and that neither should be trying to preach their views to others.

It's understandable why you'd misinterpret his original post because it wasn't worded well, but now that he cleared it up it shouldn't be a continued issue...

[QUOTE="Diophage"][QUOTE="Johnny_Rock"]Disagree with this post.LJS9502_basic

Well, that's more than you divulged in your original post. Getting a cohesive thought out of you is like pulling teeth.
