Atheism and science aren't the same thing, ffs.

The funny thing is the only reason we can even perceive religion or experience the ability to follow a certain religious "belief" system" is because of consciousness and experience. Its a shame most people follow a religion without even questioning why they are following that religion or what they believe as a w|hole.
If people studied their conscious decisions and what the world has to offer through the individual experience the world would be a better place.

R. D. LaingThe range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.
R. D. LaingII call God ECCO now. The Earth Coincidence Control Office. It's much more satisfying to call it that. A lot of people accept this and they don't know that they're just talking about God. I finally found a God that was big enough. As the astronomer said to the Minister, 'My God's astronomical.' The Minister said, 'How can you relate to something so big?' The astronomer said, 'Well, that isn't the problem, your God's too small!'"

@i_monk
Couldn't agree more. But, the atheist argument falls completely flat when science is no longer a stick to beat the theists with.- you're comparing apples to a molehill.albums
- and the religious one falls flat in any situationmonospaced

What "atheist argument"? There are plenty of arguments against religion/belief that have nothing to do with science.

You're an atheist? Can you defend your position without using religion or science?- the beauty of atheism is that it requires no defensemonospaced

I'm an agnostic atheist, yes. Because empirically, socially, personally, and every other -ly, I have no reason not to be. Do supernatural anthropomorphic beings exist, controlling nature? I doubt it; never been given a convincing reason to think they do.

true story
I lived for a year to this nice apartment block in quebec city and we would have to walk through a cemetary at night to go drink and party at the palladium (shitty whaling bar).sadly none of my rational atheist friends would get freaked out and would flat out refuse to go near it,
you know because ghost and shit, I can understand a religious person to be scared of ghost but the defenders of science, scared of the unknown, that's priceless,
anyways here's the link if you're ever in QC city

GeorgesII,

Ability to communicate. Not present."sadly none of my rational atheist friends would get freaked out"
your subjective opinion of a personal polling is irrelevant to actual discussion.

the difference between science and religion is that laws of science exist whether or not there is a human presence, religion on the other hand needs humanity to survive.

@albums
so I guess you're an atheist, by the small experience I've had with your online persona, you love correcting others english, you love saying others are dumb, you love putting yourself on a pedestal, because you and only you know everything,I could fill this page of experience I've had dabbling in the dark art, but what would be the point to argue with those who know everything,
because you know science...this world is so big and there are so much thing to experience, it makes me sad to see people stuck in this cage which is no better than organized religion,
get a plane ticket, go travel the world, go meet people you disagree with, listen to their point of view, do not impose yours,
if you do this, maybe we will be able to talk on the same level- if you're going to communicate, do so with clarity.albums

@GeorgesII
This world IS so big and there IS a lot o experience! Your'e right! That's why it makes ME sad to see people stuck in an organized religion cage that doesn't even accept the wonder and beauty that science and nature actually exhibit.
And, your argument that meeting people who disagree (religious) doesn't make any rational point. Just because tons of people believe in God doesn't make it more valid.
- I accept science, I don't remember ever denying it, the thing that scares me is that more and more spiritualism is getting pushedGeorgesII
- I didn't say you didn't accept science. I'm saying that science actually has awe and wonder and answers.monospaced
- nature has power and order and beauty and immensity and equilibriummonospaced
