An answer from a human perspective. Sorry about the poor lighting and sound.

  • Atheism is arguably not a belief system, as it addresses only the LACK of belief in a god or gods.

    It may become a belief system if someone says "I believe their is no god." as opposed to "I do not believe their is a god."

    The former makes you a so called "Strong atheist" while the latter a so called "Weak Atheist" or "Agnostic Atheist", which is what I am. Given that 'Gnosis' addresses knowledge and "Theism" address believe, it can be said that I do not believe in gods for want of knowledge.

  • I can't see free-will being truly possible.

  • Atheism and agnositsim are belief systems.

    Agnostisism considers the existence of a god a possibility.

    Other than that, none I can see.

  • Passion is more able to be fully followed without the constraints of religious guilt and doctrine reining in your intellect. I may pluck the fruit from any tree I wish. Christians are told they are eternally paying for one mere apple of knowledge. Pretty clear message there.

  • I don't think atheism resembles a cult on even a superficial level. Atheism shares nothing with cults or religions.

  • Thank you :)

  • "Passion I think requires inspiration. IMO, on a really deep level, predetermined fate hinders that. The mind that knows its in total control of what happens next is more free to think inspirationally, than the one that believes their lives are already planned out. "

    that's almost profound :)

  • Only on the most superficial level does the intellectual position of atheism or agnosticism resemble a cult. Unfortunately, christians and all cultists are intellectually the most superficial people in the world.

  • awesome video.

  • Hey, good video.

    Morality, shouldn't be upheld by dictation. If you're moral for fear of hell, then you're not really moral at all.

    Passion I think requires inspiration. IMO, on a really deep level, predetermined fate hinders that. The mind that knows its in total control of what happens next is more free to think inspirationally, than the one that believes their lives are already planned out.
