Is anything BUT atheism a sensible basis for life?

Depending on invisible sky fairies does not seem to me to be a sensible starting point for a philosophy to guide one in life?

Any of them. I agree.

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

Well, there is God, and then there is religion. The confusion of the two produces nothing more than hierarchies of power and simple answers for simple minds.

However, Atheism is almost as stupid. For a start, proponents allow themselves to be defined by what they are not.

Don't talk to me about Agnostics, they wouldn't know there arses from a hole in the ground.

The only thing about "God" that I dismiss, is the incredibly daggy, small-minded, musty smelly idiotic varieties that humans have come up with so far.

A fourth way, where the question does not exist, is just as valid as the trichotomy. Perhaps there are other frames of mind also.

Atheism is simply a denial of god's existence and doesn't ascribe any value judgments or qualities for how to live a life beyond that. Therefore, it's not a basis at all.

A better basis than belief in invisible sky fairies.

It works great for children, there is no need for sound reasoned judgement or personal responsibility; however if you are an adult who is not retarded then religion and god are a waste of your time and energy.

The Atheism forum is slow, but I always like to see what people have to say. Forgive me for saying this, but some atheists are just as dogmatic as Godists. Religion is not a waste of time. It has many uses.

1. It allays a sense of emptiness when an individual is confronted by, and feels threatened by, the meaninglessness of life.

2. By latching on to the said sense of emptiness, God religions give their purveyors authority over the bewildered masses, and this authority has been used as currency with hereditary monarchs in every attempt at civilisation in world history.

3. Religions gives moralists a platform from which to advertise their sense of right and wrong, creating the concept of guilt which is essential and self-fulfilling.

4. Some religions provide answers to questions that cannot be answered with logic. Lots of people love religion for this reason. Through religion they don't even need to justify their choice. One has to admit that is a very valuable asset.

I have to qualify the above points which may seem cynical. There is no doubt that a great many good deeds have been done in the "name" of Godisms. For example, Christian missionaries were largely responsible for the end of cannibalism in the South Pacific. And the Red Cross has relieved some suffering world wide. But these things could have been achieved without ancient scripture. The fact is that those kinds of perceptions were of their time.

The God religions are not going away in the foreseeable future just because a tiny proportion of humanity among the world's educated urban sophisticates like to poke fun at them, even when deserved. Looking at the state of things today, and the population explosion, I would say it is more likely that Atheism will fizzle out.

Dear Jovial,
The rapture will happen soon be prepared. Know and believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and sins of the world shed his blood and rose three days later from the grave and went back to heaven to prepare a place. Turn away from your sins and ask forgiveness and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Personal Saviour. God will forgive your sins no matter what they are.

Being Agnostic is a much more rational position.

Atheists are a lot on the arrogant side.

Religious people .......mentally ill.

See this is the problem with God Freaks. They arrogantly claim to have secret knowledge of how the Universe works that has been revealed to them, which at best is a lie. Bob, like Yadda and Light boy, you are a cretinous low-brow.

And you forgot to mention.....
....the introduction of the 'safe space' within institutions of higher learning today, where no real and honest examination, and no real and honest scrutiny, of the political lefts protected 'sacred cows' are permitted.

Because such examination would lay upon and expose leftist politics to open ridicule, and, 'persecution'.



Holy cows....

gay identity issues
