    How Do Atheists Handle World Events: Scenario 2 Miracles

    So, you would get angry? Don't, this is a thought exercise. But, again, what is evidence? What would constitute evidence when you are presented with evidence? As the thought exercise says, the media, government, scientist all know about it; many people who are social know about it. You are...

    So, you would ignore it by ignoring Youtube? Or are you suggesting there are videos on this on Youtube?

    How Do Atheists Handle World Events: Scenario 2 Miracles

    lol! Well, no it's not a paranoid delusion. Paranoia refers to feelings of threat or harm, which may be either unreal or exaggerated. Delusion refers to a thought system where there is no evidence for it. There is no feeling of threat or harm and there is evidence for it, quite a bit of...

    Both theist and atheist are welcome to reply. Have Fun! Cheers! Suppose you live in a world where you hear murmurs of miracles. Maybe you have seen something or maybe not, but what is true is you have heard things. These things include people creating videos all over Youtube called, "Man...

    Christians, anything wrong with the following?

    I can't relate to this on any level 1) I don't know who Betty Bowers is 2) I suppose if I did I wouldn't see her as a reflection of my Christianity. Let's break out of the loop. The overall lesson from this is Atheists and Christian Fundamentalist are one in the same always attacking each...

    How Do Atheists Handle World Events: Scenario 1 Totalitarianism

    OK, so I talk about fighting and then you immediately make it absurd. Fine, you don't drink, don't smoke, you don't do pot...yet, somehow I'm supposed to believe you have Orgies. What posers. What Posers. None of you have been in an Orgy like I have and you say you have because you are...

    How Do Atheists Handle World Events: Scenario 1 Totalitarianism

    You are a sincere man, I love and respect you. When people are insincere, monitoring my threads and making it a game I don't respond (cough, cough hackers) I agree Darwin is blameless, so what if he was a gay man developing theory to take it to the straight community, he is in Heaven. As for...

    How Do Atheists Handle World Events: Scenario 1 Totalitarianism

    Now, I outlined my way of fighting back which has worked. But look at everyone else? Who do you think is really fighting it? How? Why has it worked? Hackers are not for Government, follow Wikileaks on their twitter; they are lying to your face and calling themselves brave. "I say I don't...

    How Do Atheists Handle World Events: Scenario 1 Totalitarianism

    Yes, I'm completely serious. Now put on the veil of ignorance and decide if you say the situation this bad would you fight back? That is the hypothetical I presented. My suspicion is you would not and don't. But your frustration belies your intentions, fear is not a motivator, confidence is...

    How Do Atheists Handle World Events: Scenario 1 Totalitarianism

    I get what you are saying, Totalitarianism comes in many forms but that is not what we are facing and have been facing since Darwin. You can, friend, be an atheist Rebel...but in my whole life I've never seen one.

    How Do Atheists Handle World Events: Scenario 1 Totalitarianism

    I'm not certain why this discussion angers you. For me, for me personally the situation we live in now is worse than 1984 and is not addressed in 1984. Why? You have a situation where you feel you are free and your ideas are free flawing and original but what forms your impressions of the...

    How Do Atheists Handle World Events: Scenario 1 Totalitarianism

    Let, me respond to whether I have read 1984. I have, it's been a while along with George Orwell's Animal Farm. But like I write it has been a while and I'm not going to look it up on the internet. (I'm not accusing anyone of doing that). I'm just doing it from memory. Again, I know there are...

    How Do Atheists Handle World Events: Scenario 1 Totalitarianism

    It's all a great point, but let me address the Bold. I am definitely not suggesting suicide, but I can understand how you think someone who believes in the afterlife or God could conclude that given the circumstances of the book. Now, this is a great extension of the argument inserting 1984...

    Atheistic Double Standard?

    I haven't seen this argument in bold in a long time. If I may humbly interject. Agnostics are not making a claim: agnosticism defined as uncertain whether God Exists. Now, this truly is not a claim because saying, "God may or may not exist," does postulate anything. It's not even testable...

    How Do Atheists Handle World Events: Scenario 1 Totalitarianism

    Thank you sir or maam, now let me clarify I do not demonize atheists. I hope I didn't suggest this was an atheistic type scenario; instead, I mean a scenario started nefariously that is effecting both theists and atheists. Helk, for all I know the government in this scenario has the support of...

    How Do Atheists Handle World Events: Scenario 1 Totalitarianism

    Well, that is a really good point but in my opinion it is a flaw in the book. Remember a book is just a perspective, a sort of experiment with its variables set into place. The question you have to ask yourself is what variables are missing. I haven't read the book in a long time and I...

    Hey, I dig everyone's response I'll try to respond to everyone but, but, but it was asked by Skwim what I as a Catholic would do? OK, I'm game. What I would first do is make myself a target for the government and their sympathizers. I'd do this by posting thought provoking, yet reasonable...

    Religious people and Atheists are both welcome to reply. I'm not kicking anyone out of this thread as is the practice with some people. Now, we are living in interesting times; these are times that test the soul. Except, how do people handle these times who do not believe in a soul or...
