    Nontheists: What Philosophical View Do You Find Yourself In the Most?

    Various parts of various philosophies, mainly nihilism and absurdism, some existentialism, and just to contradict myself a nice portion of rationalism for its utility. Basically my philosophy is that in the grand scheme of things I am inconsequential and the only way my life can have any...

    Why are you an atheist?

    The absence of evidence is the only reason I do not believe in god. If cold, hard evidence for the existence of god were available I would be shocked, but I would accept it no problem, so would no longer be atheist. However I would still not worship or submit to such a being for the second...

    Anti-theist? Why?

    Exactly, this I think lies at the heart of the problem. If you can suspend your disbelief and actually consider what it is to believe in an all powerful, all knowing and purely 'good' deity, it is IMPOSSIBLE to accept such a being could do, say, or cause something 'evil'. So no matter how...

    Must Islam and Secularism clash?

    Islam and Secularism are at present completely incompatible, Islam requires the total submission to Allah in all things, even most moderate Muslims are quick to condemn non Muslims who say or do things forbidden in the Qu'ran. The only hope for peaceful co-existence would require significant...

    Anti-theist? Why?

    The Tea Party seem pretty religious to me, but admiteddley I associate conservative right wing as religious so I'm clearly biased. The founders, yes I suppose in their day they were extreme, but they were not fighting for a particular religions dominance. Hitler did believe in a god, I think...

    Anti-theist? Why?

    By non religious extremists could you give me an example? I mean atrocities are commited on a daily basis in the name of one god or onother, it seems very disproportionate even if the majority of the population are religious. When was the last time a bomb went off (or anything else) because of...

    Anti-theist? Why?

    I can honestly say I have never thought of the Amish as extremists, that made me smile though. You are right in what you have said, my own, apparently warped definition of extremism took those qualifiers as a given.

    Anti-theist? Why?

    Firstly sheer weight of numbers, the amount of extremists that derive their ideology from religion dwarfs all other kinds of extremism combined. Secondly views based on fait can inspire a fervour and fanaticism far more intense than anything else. For instance I consider myself an extreme...

    Anti-theist? Why?

    I've often seen it asked of atheists and anti-theists why they care about religions they consider nonsense. It's a fair question, what difference does it make to me what the religious believe? Why not mind my own business? I’d like to know why others hold a similar position, or an opposite one...
