Atheism is just another religion

[tireironman]

What philosophy do you think atheism has? The term Atheist is a response to one question, anything beyond that is the individuals own choice.

[Whyisthat101]

An educated atheist would take one look at the title of this video and click on it just to see how unevolved this persons viewpoint is.

[surrealnumber]

atheists are the biggest bunch of hypocrites ever, they cant even recognize that their "lack of beliefs" is a belief, one that they shape their world around. it is a religion, not a uniform one, but what religion has uniform followers.

agnostic signing off.

[Dhomden]

Good thing we have people like this to reminds us what "true atheists" should think. Never mind the fact that it conflicts with logic and the meaning of "atheism", some dude on the internet made a vid talking complete nonsense for 6 minutes - the world is ever-changing!

[biggingerdude]

This guy doesn't seem that bright. can anyone point the way to any pro Christian video by someone that is articulate, eloquent and entertaining? All the ones I've found seem to be by frightening, dim-witted, simple or manic people. Funny that. Same old garbled nonsense recycled again and again. Is 'well your religious to' really still the best they can do?

[ironhead696]

Belive in humankind, belive that we can get along and advance further on and maybe one day migrate to more planets, religion tends to get in the way of many scientific advances that can help us, don't like atheism? go back under your illusion blanket and keep telling yourself that invisible, allmighty being is the way to go

[teague67]

u hit the nail on the head. people (leaders) manipulate beliefs to suit their own purposes, they have their own agendas and that is what leads to war. it doesn't matter what the beliefs are. the 20th century has already proven that atheistic ideas can be manipulated in the same way.

[frozenturd007]

Oh, and while you're at it, look for the words 'cuz,' 'ppl,' and 'urself' in the dictionary and tell me what you find.

[frozenturd007]

Maybe you both should read a dictionary...

Main Entry: athe·ism

Pronunciation: \ˈā-thē-ˌi-zəm\

Function: noun

Etymology: Middle French athéisme, from athée atheist, from Greek atheos godless, from a- + theos god

Date: 1546

1 archaic : ungodliness, wickedness

2 a : a disbelief in the existence of deity b : the doctrine that there is no deity

From the definition alone, I wouldn't consider it a religion, and it certainly doesn't sceam, "objective look at reality."

[keggerous]

atheists dont offer anything but reality and an objective look at it. if u really need those invisible friends to give u comfort then by all means talk to ur invisible friends but dont preach it and dont indoctrinate little kids for fricks sake. keep it to urself and dont let it get in the way of our progression. if atheism offers anything at all it would be a future where ppl didnt have the excuse of religion to segregate each other. also read a dictionary cuz atheism isnt a religion.

[darketernal3]

Athiesm is to religion as

baldness is to hair color.

Being Spirital =/= Being Religious.

You can not substitute the structure of a belief by something of atheism.

The question, "Who are you supposed to pray to if you're athiest?" is an example of this.

To get rid of religion, again, from your perspective, substution indoctornation with another of atheistic nature is not the correct way. You teach people to think RATIONALLY and religion will naturally disillusion itself.

[frozenturd007]

Love the video response

[AntiVen0mFangX]

In the description:

"A true Atheist wouldn't put out any thoughts about God or religion. "

Sure they would. It's called conversation and debate. Would a theist not put out any thoughts on atheism? No, I believe you're doing it in this video.

[frozenturd007]

Atheists accuse religious folk of fabricating things because they want to know the truth so bad that they just make it up. But believing nothing is much worse. See the atheists have even more trouble dealing with the lack of knowing the answers. Their method is to shut it all out and believe nothing at all. I ask, what do atheists beleive is true?

[Ultraversed]

Respectfully, i must say it is quite the opposite. A belief implies that one has stopped inquiring if something is true or not by claiming that one knows or acts as if they know without actually knowing (this is also called faith).

Its not that one 'believes' in nothing; its simply that nothing is there in that field of belief, therefore one is inquiring continually, granted that one is not physically docile. The inquiring mind is the alive mind. The believer is one that has given up inquiry.

[keggerous]

way to pwn em good

[frozenturd007]

I like your style, man. I take this as a great counterpoint to my comment, and I like the fact that I don't see any insults.

I must ask, what is your reason for inquiring? Is it not to gain a belief in something? The truth?

[Ultraversed]

Right, we are so used to do things 'for something'. This is where the question arises, 'is there an action without a cause?'

Were accustomed to receiving reward for actions. And of course there is nothing wrong with this physically. We need to see that our work is being paid off, or we dont take that certain action.

But psychologically i see no need for belief; no objective in the inquiry. It is not inquiry with a goal... it has no objective and therefore is extremely and ultimately sensitive.

[frozenturd007]

You say "nothing is there in that field" so you are continually inquiring.  That, to me, is pretty similar to believing in nothing, only you don't plan to keep it that way, which is good.

I do agree that an inquiring mind is more alive, but every mind needs to rest on something.

[Ultraversed]

I see belief as a filter that one overlays in their perception in order to emmulate. Works great outwardly, but inwardly it is meaningless. The brain may evolve, but the mind can not. We say, 'i believe in this' which really means that you associate yourself with that thing. It is an attempt of the mind to evolve, it is taking the outward task/reward system and trying to use it inwardly, not seeing that it is completely futile and meaningless for the mind to evolve (not referring to the brain).

[accord887]

Hello. I will explain to you now what being An athiest means to the world.

A: Look at the muslim, jewish, christian war going on. Its going to lead to armageddon.

Now what athiest's will do. We will move towards techology, science insted of looking into spiritual bullshit.

Face it science is just a little bit more true then religion.

[Sheogorath64]

You sound like a younger, skinnier marlon brandol

[UndercoverBr0tha]

Atheism is just another religion?

No. Religion is the beleif in a supernatural being or a god.

atheism is the disbeleif of a god or supernatural being.

christians that hate atheists are bad people. they accuse us of being evil and immoral because we dont follow the words of an ANCIENT book that ANYONE could of wrote.

if your a normal logical person and found an old book that said to kill yourself. Woul you do it? No.

So then why do people do what a ANCIENT book WRITTING by ANYONE

[Sheogorath64]

good point, mother fucker.

[UndercoverBr0tha]

you got your name from oblivian didn't you? awesome game

[Sheogorath64]

I agree, very good taste in video games you.

[jules13304]

For starters look up the word religion.. Notice something common in all definitions of the word: "supernatural". To follow a religion is to believe in something supernatural or super human (e.g. God, Santa Clause, easter bunny, superman, etc...). There is nothing supernatural about athiesm, it is all logical and sensible.

[zlac]

Atheists have no rules and they have no need to feed on anything, and they don't have the urge to keep together and mob against the religious people.

religious people have the need to feed on something, and they usually have the urge and holly laws to keep together and burn on the stick the people of other religions and atheists.

I'm not a true atheist because I believe in God, but my God is the same God - Christian, Jew, Muslim and all. I just don't believe in holly humans and Bible lies.

[MrCarelo]

exellent points. you are a very wise man.

[grandpaegg]

So...

Atheists cannot talk about God? Only theists can talk about God...?

Absurd.

[LinkGrayX2]

Atheism is not a religion...but it sure seems like it is, the way they're acting. They seem to be making up their own commandments because they all act the same way and say the same things. Pitiful, really.

[omgwtfemo100]

"They seem to be making up their own commandments because they all act the same way and say the same things. Pitiful, really" LOL! you just described what people of the book do, not atheists. I'll remind you calling yourself an atheist is just simplly stating that you have no belief in god. Alot of my atheist friends disagree with me on alot of things. Atheists debate, we discuss, we argue. However we do not all say the same things. Thats what religios people do :)

[LinkGrayX2]

Actually, Christians debate with each other all the time. My friends disagree with me on a lot of things too.

Atheists acting the same is just an observation for me, just as you think all religious (it's spelled religious by the way) people act the same.

[omgwtfemo100]

Christians are restricted by the book though. They can only argue or debate within the context of the bible (when they are debating about the universe, god ect). However in saying that I am sure thay christians challange their own faith aswell, but even when you challange yourselves you still look to the book for your answers (or your final answers) otherwise you wouldnt be christian.

[omgwtfemo100]

My point is, christians are restricted to their bible blabber. However atheists can argue on a borader scale because we know we dont have absolute truth about anything, this means we are alot more open minded to new ideas coming in, Now i can understand that from where you are it does seem that we all say the same thing, and thats because all of us Atheists have atleast 1 thing in common. We don't believe in a personal God. Yes we do all say that because thats what Atheism is.

[Rahab111222]

"the way they're acting. They seem to be making up their own commandments because they all act the same way and say the same things. Pitiful, really."

You're stroking with a broad brush there.

[beansnrice321]

All human beings are spiritual, Not all of them are religious. The ones who are not religious may easily be atheist. Love and hope are food for every ones soul. For you, hopefully; the diversity of of love can include atheists exceptional and unusual as they are.

[RCH92788]

The Definition of the word Spiritual - religious: concerned with sacred matters or religion or the church.

I don't believe I have a soul... and not all human beings are spiritual. Don't put untrue facts on multinational websites because that's how bullshit gets passed around such as Religion...

[jesuriah]

One of my posts was supposed to be a reply to Zeneeka.

Being an atheist does not imply that you have to be a fucking dick to a dying person.

The "hope" as you put it is the idea that "we're all human" and we can work together to achieve beautiful things.

As for atrocious atheist deeds, sure we have Pol Pot and Stalin and Mao...actually that is a pretty bad list, but on the theists side we have Hitler, the Inquisition, the Crusades, Mother Theresa,

[jesuriah]

To the author; Just because you're so closed minded that you can't understand a person's behavior does not mean that aforementioned behavior is impossible.

Atheism makes the world better by providing avenues for scientific research, and cultivating the seeds of tolerance, instead of dogmatic hatred.

As for dashing the "hopes of a little girl" this argument is just asinine. There's nothing you can say to make a situation like that better, and if the girls mother dies, what does that sayaboutgod?

[Teenagefreedomfightr]

Tibet, atheist???

Atheism = Lack of a religion

Atheist are the most open minded people SIMPLY because they do not restrict there thoughts based upon religion.

Society defines moral.

Fear institutionalizes lies.

How to form an athiests world? Let people think freely for long enouph and they sooner or later they will realise this.

More wars have been fought over religion then ANY other cause.

What do we believe in? Humanity

[Zeneeka0405]

"More wars have been fought over religion then ANY other cause"

Absolute bullshit. Antitheism has killed over one hundred million people, just last century. Please give examples of religious massmurders that surpasses this vast amount of victims, or stop spreading myths.

[Teenagefreedomfightr]

I was working on a huge fucking list, unfortunetaly it would fit.... As for your 100 millions people killed theory you are far far off. It is more like 8 million, almost all of which being the Russians.

As for the list i will just define a religouse war in a couple different perspectives so that you can realise how ignorent it was to say such a thing.

Any war between religions because of religions.

- (ex.)The Crusades

Any war backed by religion (almost any war EVER)

- (ex.) Any U.S. War

[jesuriah]

Is Hitler a big enough mass murderer?

[Zeneeka0405]

I'm sorry, but Stalin killed 62 million, and Mao as much as 72. Just two of the biggest antitheists killed this much altogether. The inquisition, crusades and witchhunts don't even reach close to that.

Please do come up with a "huge list" for all to see. Also include the victims caused by antitheism, and we shall see.. ;)

Hitler would be if he had had religious motives. Hitler did actually reject Christianity.

[jesuriah]

I don't know where you're getting your facts from, probably one of the creationist propaganda films, but Mao was credited with 20-37 million deaths, not 72. Stalin is also credited with around 20-30 million deaths. Remember that these dictators didn't kill people because atheism told them to. They slaughtered people because of the methodology of fascism. Ever heard of a cult of personality? By the way, here's a few good Atheists..

Benjamin Franklin

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Paine

cool?

[Zeneeka0405]

I don't get why you're trying to say to me that "atheists can be cool people". Of course they can, the majority of the people I know are ones! I'm replying to the myth that religion has killed most people, which is false.

Hitler was not a Christian. He wasn't a socialist either, despite being a "national socialist".

As for Mao, he did kill 40-72 million people even according to Wikipedia, but Stalin killed 20 million of 62 in USSR in total. My bad it seems

Oh, and btw, Jefferson was a deist.

[jesuriah]

Hitler rubbed elbows with the catholic church and put "God with us" on Nazi belt buckles. He was well known as a Christian. Hitler was a fascist dictator, we both can agree on that.

You're right about Jefferson and Franklin was a deist too, my bad!

[zombiedreams]

How exactly did "antitheism" kill over one hundred million people during the last century? Give me a break-down, because as far as I can tell, it hasn't. As others mentioned, the likes of Stalin and Mao and Pol Pot were atheists, yes. But what they did were not directly correlated to their lack of religious belief.

[packeteer]

A few thoughts came to mind as you wondered about an athiest future. You ask what we would be praising and what would keep us going day to day. I think your viewpoint is of course through the looking glass of a religious person.

Ask an atheist and they will probably tell you that they dont need a higher purpose to get through their day. They dont need to praise anything to have a purpose. To a religious person this seems terrible but only because it is so important to them.

[EUK777]

Atheism allows the chance to accept your real heritage, rather than phoney ideas of human divinity and the sun revolving around us and for our species' benefit.

Many religious folk rape and pillage the earth awaiting for spiritual comebacks and paradises that don't exist.

[Dutchdrummer99]

The question is not what we are all gone belief in if there is no god! the question is what is the truth... If we would someday completely understand everything and there is no god involved.. should we keep pretending there is? OFcourse not... For me it`s a dual state; 1 accepting i`m Part of ALL nature and am born and die without any ``intervention`` just like all other creatures.. and 2 above that FOUNDATION of nature i build my life with love family compassion value`s etc etc...

[AmericanDog85]

atheism is just a person who doesn't believe in god or gods. its not a religion period.

[Teenagefreedomfightr]

It's pretty bad someone had to point that out but thanks.

[adiprai]

I wish theists would see that we don't get morals from religion. Is the big surveillance camera in the sky the only reason u're not out there raping a murdering people? What I'm against is religion corrupting government, education, science, civil liberties, separation of church and state, etc. The moderates don't do anything about the radicals of their faith, so it's us atheists who make a stand. Like you're bashing us atheists, why not also make a video bashing the radicals of your faith?

[Masenko]

Atheism is not a philosophy, just a position towards a theistic claim. All it is is a lack of belief.

Atheism doesn't do anything.  It's just a position. It tells you nothing of what the person is.

You make some very exaggerated claims. Think about what you're saying. We don't have to pray or believe in the supernatural. You need to understand evolution better as well. It's a natural process, and has nothing to do with eugenics.

It's all about thinking with reason and logic.

[AJ78910]

WRONG.

[naejimba]

Oh, almost forgot. Atheism is in no way a religion. It does not meet the requirements of any definition of religion that I have ever seen. It does not have a belief system, any dogma, we do not worship anything, etc. The only thing atheists share in common is a disbelief in religion. Although, calling it a religion is a great way to piss off an atheist XD

[Phillipdmind]

Thanks for the sermon and atheists do worship their opinions. But pleas don't get

~X{

Peace

[Fakenstien]

No, no. Atheists no NOT worship their beliefs.

[mr13377]

fuck you, ungreatful dickheads like you should be sent to africa to live in poverty, we don't need backwardish idiots like you!

[Phillipdmind]

Oh, how eloquently stated.

[CiscoDaMan]

Can you please tell me why you have to label yourself something then? Why even do that, it doesn't make sense. If you do not believe in anything, its as simple as nothing. Or are you just like religious people, you need a group to fit in, so you choose to LABEL yourself an atheist?

[naejimba]

I am an atheist, I also feel that you have a right to your beliefs. Atheism doesn't really do anything for the world, it just means you don't believe in a religion. I don't know if false hope is a good thing, but I wouldn't deny you that. I don't really believe an atheist world will ever happen, and I feel those who do are taking it too far (kind of scary). Eugenics is a misapplication of an objective subject (science) to a subjective subject (morality, philosophy, etc)

[Dalbert342]

there will not be a bloodbath...you,sir are ignorant

[Phillipdmind]

Whaty took you so long? Thanks for the insight,

[Dalbert342]

just saying calling atheism religion is like calling bald a hair color;)...interesting thoughts though

[d3p3ch3mod3]

Re:"I see angels"-if there's a suffering Christian who gets strength from their religion, I play along to make them feel better; the concept of the afterlife is designed for such circumstances.

But if I have an atheist friend who dies, no Fucking Christian has a right to tell me shit about how "well I'm sure he went to heaven and really believed in his heart"

Have you considered the idea that neither religion or atheism has a "solution" and that it's up to the people to decide?

[d3p3ch3mod3]

A government should be secular - not atheist, not religious, but secular.

I think the atheists and the religious both want you to think that secularism is the same thing as atheism. But in the sense that a government endorsing atheism is just as bad as a government endorsing religion if not worse, you're assessment of atheism as religion in practice (by a government anyway) might be right. Anytime a government claims moral authority over its population the society is fucked.

[RichardRoy2]

...but I've never seen an atheist society.

[RichardRoy2]

There have been plenty of people in power who've used various justifications for the actions they take. Some use Theism, some Atheism. You do tend to oversimplify things. All Atheists do this; all Theists do that. If they have to justify their existence, I presume you want everyone to justify their existence? How are you going to improve the world? If you don't do it in the way I think relevant, should I dismiss you? Besides, Ive heard Governments use atheism as justifications for some acts...

[d3p3ch3mod3]

You shouldn't use atheism or religion to justifify your actions, ever.

[RichardRoy2]

You seem to believe the "job" of an Atheist is to extinguish Theism. Then you must believe that it is the job of the Theists to extinguish the existence of Atheists. You seem to have the idea that Atheism is a religion or an ideology. But if you look carefully enough you'll find there are as many views from Atheists as there are from Theists. To me Atheism is just a description. I am without Theism. I have no faith. It is not my intention, or interest, to remove faith from other's lives.

[graveyardpc]

So from your perspective China disregards human rights because their atheistic. Simply ridiculous. That statement alludes to your logic being driven by the assumption that atheism is directly linked to a significant, if not total, lack of morality. Meaning you seriously believe that morality is derived only from divine source. That being said, I think I don't even need a point of argument.

[Phillipdmind]

That's not what I said. I said Atheism offers no better solution. It also appears to me to be a religion, and like other religions there have been atrocities commited by its adhearents.

Thanks for posting

[graveyardpc]

Atheism isn't poised to offer any solutions, to anything. That's because Atheism isn't a philosophy, religion or belief system. It's merely a word to describe someone's disbelief in one or more of the previously mentioned.

And you know this. You said, "I'm supposed to belief every Atheist out there is an Existentialist and not a Nihilist." That's right, Atheism doesn't say what philosophy or belief system you belong to. It merely says you don't believe in the higher power part of any of them.

[graveyardpc]

[d3p3ch3mod3]

The problem is that the state endorsed a philosophy and exercised moral authority rather than remaining secular and accepting the moral judgements of it's population. Very few atheists would condone a state endorsing atheism, at least not after doing some research, since usually morality dictated through authority is the reason people become atheist in the first place.

[seathanaich]

Communism is atheism? No wonder you are incapable of making a single intelligent or logical point.

[Phillipdmind]

Hmmm. Look at Communisim again. They are

similar to atheiests in that they proclaim to be antireligion in beliefs. I say this because this is what I state, not the spin you provide here. . .

Thanks for the post.)

[seathanaich]

Hi Philip. Your comment is an example of the logical fallacy of false causality.

Atheism is a lack of belief in gods and religions.

Communism is an economic and social dogma. There is no corelation between the two - unless you'd care to acknowledge that all the Latin American dictators of the 20th Century were evil BECAUSE they were Christians. You can't have it both ways.

Many evil men seem to grow beards. The beards are not the problem, the totalitarian ideologies are the problem.

[Phillipdmind]

I take it you are speaking of Castro's run or maybe of Che. Again, I state that Atheism is an organized belief system. How so unlike any other religion. China, Russia, and Nazi Germany banned religion. Would not Atheism not attempt the same? Same measures employed to maintain control?

[TheArmoredPanther]

I can tell you that you're wrong because it's a COMMUNIST government going against Tibet.

[flobolobo]

china is communist, another ideology. i think there are a lot of people for whom atheism is literally that: the absence of belief. not that there is a belief in no god or religion, but there is an absence of belief. belief has never factored into any of my thinking - it is just not there. the hope of universal peace and happiness is a good enough alternative. many religious beliefs seem absurd; such as an all-loving, compassionate god torturing to death his only son in order to save humans...

[iviewthetube]

I think you hit on a major point as to why people do believe in religion -- the fear of mortality.

Thanks for the good post Phillip.

[iviewthetube]

I tend to agree with you. If everyone becomes an atheist all of our problems will not magically go away. Just as if everyone becomes a Christian/Muslim/Hindu/Jew/etc­. all of our problems will go away.

Everyone has something of value to bring to the table; the best we can do is to keep any kind of fascism in check. "Power tends to corrupt; absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely." (Acton)

[iviewthetube]

What does atheism contribute to the world? Critical thinking.

Assuming that what you believe is 100% correct, as religious dogma sometimes does, causes social and mental stagnation.

[returntoiceland]

any religion is a fight between man and his spirituality

[ooglebydoogleby]

hi phill i like your video its honest although i do think your arguments undermine your position. you seem to be saying you know religeon is false but what are we going to replace that falshood with. ime sure thats not what you realy mean. ime an atheist and i find no dificulty in the no god senario. i watched my father die an atheist and we buried him an atheist some of my sisters who believe prayed to thier gods. thats fine. i simply dont believe in them.

[ooglebydoogleby]

your own constitution was instigated by skeptics. uethenasia is far more prevelent in religouse societies .europe and america are secular societies and last time i looked they had a better human rights record than any theocracy ime aware of despite gauntanemo? who is my god? where is his temple? where is my holy book? what pilgrimage must i make? is not believing in santa a religeon too? my world and life is full of meaning, its just not supernatural!

[TheRza4ever]

everyone has there beliefs i ran across something interesting though um you know the human body has 2 legs 2 arms and a head? well

lets say this is coincidnece or fact i dont know heh but lets put those 5 words into one

ArmLegLegArmHead if you took one letter from each word and spelled it out. It comes out as one word A L L A H

[Phillipdmind]

Brilliant, I'd never heard that before.

Peace

[ooglebydoogleby]

you need to get out more! i tried to have an honest conversation with you. i think your an honest man i wrote an honest opener for a discusion of your beleifs. what that guy/girl responded with is not brilliant its hardly even worth responding too if you would like me to write some positive plays on words you can use ime more than happy to. JESUS=Just UNdoing Satans Evil Scheme. i hope your impressed it took me all of ten seconds. all the best anyway.

[Phillipdmind]

It was brilliant in its simplicity. You atheists sometimes act like Jehovah's witnesses. You come around trying to get everyone to convert. See what I mean about your religion? I'm going to do a follow up or my reply to your latest.

Peace

[ooglebydoogleby]

not in arrabic? thats so deep but isnt it amazing that it also spells All LITTLE LIES ADDED HA. it might just be a coincidense but for someone like you who seems to find evidence in such absurdities it should be enough to stop teaching nonsese to children. how about this one jesus, Just Enough Stupid Unbelievable Stories. ime trying not to be horible but if you insist on such stupidity i can only respond in kind. what about fatir.

Find Atheist. Talk Islamic Rhetoric.

[SecularPaul]

I hate to break it to you, but most atheists are not going to say those kind of things.

[Phillipdmind]

I'm not sure what you mean. . .

[EikC]

Stupid argument that Atheism is another religion. Logic tells any sane person that lack of theism does not equal theism, neither does being an advocate of lack of theism.

[Phillipdmind]

Logic is only for sane people? I'd heard somewhere that the decision not to create art is an artform itself. Wouldn't the choice not to believe generate a belief system in and of itself?

[EikC]

Nope, that's what logic tells 'em. The primary reason for religious people calling Atheism a religion is for them to be able to attack it as an equal, because they know they can't refute something that is not, so they come up with bullshit like this, implying that Atheism has religious doctrines and morals, too. It's stupid, and any clear-minded individual will tell you the same thing. Come on, it's common sense. The non-existence of theism is not theism, because there is no theism.

[EikC]

About the generation of a belief system - You're confusing morals and religion, two separate things. Morals is not theism, either.

[Phillipdmind]

Your answer applies to atheism as well. . .

[EikC]

Which part? Please elaborate.

[CrazyCurtisLow]

[FB44lion]

You think Islam is bad 

go read some history and see how Arabs acted before Islam

Before Islam Arabs killed their own daughters just for the fact that they were female

True Islam is not sexist but Arabs changed it because they were

True Christianity dose not condone killing but the Crusader killed

[FB44lion]

You don't need organized religion to believe in God

In my opinion if you look at this great universe we live in its proof on an intelligent creator

And that creator has given us all(maybe not all) a conscience

Now what prophet did what and all the small details is not relevant and diverts our attention from the true meaning of religion witch i think was meant to alert or remind us of the existence of a Creator

I am an atheist. I am my brother's keeper. All an atheist is, is someone who does not believe in a GOD. I am in control of myself and my actions. My personal dream is humanity loving each other for what they are, a very special animal. To understand one another and not ignore reality with fairytales. I do not need the fear of hell to respect life. I practice mutual empathy. I don't harm you because I don't want to be harmed. Easy. Much love, TheBigHo111

Good! Yeit it is true what you say.You not believing in GOD, doesn't mean there is not GOD.Who is GOD to you anyways? A nonexisting Being enclosed in holy books?

[TheBigHo111]

I am my own GOD. I am in control of my universe as is everyone else. The idea that there is something watching my acts, judging me, and deciding my eternity sounds much like Santa Claus. If more humans believed in their mortality, this would be a much happier world.

This one of my favorite quotes:

It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship GOD, but to create him.

The idea of heaven should be earth.

Great! Thanks for your reply,I like it.Who puts a limit to every act of yours? Yeit it is true You are your own GOD(you-are-your-own-self-ego)­.Does that mean you know who I call GOD? I would not say "worship GOD" but reveare Him that has His existencce in your life,and is greatly reveared in the Universe and on earth below.

atheists have a great philosophie, you say. but....we are not a cult!!! we just don't believe in god, that's all. atheism is not going to do something for the world! it has not been brought into the world for that or any other purpose! grandmother in surgery....sure. tough for the girl. but what to do? comfort her. talk about synapseses? no. just be quit. and help her pass over. and for hope: look within yourself. or believe in god. but accept the atheists in their dis-belief....

I don't get it. you could read for example "the god delusion" by richard dawkins. he explains in detail what you are asking, why religion is the root of all wars, not atheism. atheism does not offer another solution, but you are not correct when you are saying that atheism is just another religion, you are just saying that to level the battle-field and be able to attack it just like some attack religion. as for that little girl: I heary ya. but that's exactly why some won't
