In an ideal world atheists would be apatheiststs (?)
Not really what I was comparing, I said skepticism simply can be applied to one side without being applied to the other. Basically, if you're skeptic of religion you should be skeptic of science and vice versa; in essence don't believe things blindly.- Brinne

In an ideal world atheists would be apatheiststs (?)
Of course. However there are those who will blindly accept things (on both sides of the scales) without looking into why or how these things are accepted and work. If that makes any sense. Basically, don't feel like you can't explore things for yourself and try things just because one theory...- Brinne

In an ideal world atheists would be apatheiststs (?)
Why can't I be allowed to compare the two? I'm saying blind reliance and complete submission either way is bad. If I see something in a science textbook that seems wrong to me I'm going to search out my own answers. Are you saying I should have blind adherence to established theories and not try...- Brinne

In an ideal world atheists would be apatheiststs (?)
Good question; and I agree. Our pure reliance on science has definitely made us cold, especially in spiritual affairs. I'm not saying we should live without science and deny logic, but if you're skeptical towards spirituality and religion it's only fair for that person to be just as skeptical...- Brinne

Extremes should always be criticized; but in away that makes sense and is constructive. Simply saying you hate them and they're bad will just cause more wasted energy on your part.- Brinne

In an ideal world atheists would be apatheiststs (?)
While I do agree that sometimes atheists can be a little much, just as theists can, I do think they bring up valuable criticisms which should be reviewed. Not to mention, once one answers these criticisms it can bring about even more faith in one's tradition. As long as they're moderate in their...- Brinne

Plants and Vegetarianism
Regardless of plant or animal I always thank them for their sacrifice. The main thing I have a problem with is the mistreatment of animals and the unsafe/unsanitary/unnatural methods of a lot of large slaughterhouses nowadays.- Brinne

Going pretty well. I'm getting into mostly Norse paganism, I've been reading the Eddas and they're, so far, one of my favorite 'scriptures' (if you'd call it that) that I've read so far. Of course Tao Te Ching still has the top spot :P- Brinne

Praying For Stupid Stuff
Because if you're praying for a car that's likely showing you don't have a lot to worry about otherwise you'd be praying for that? Depends on what kind of theist you are and what kind of god/gods you believe in. Not all gods are all knowing. Yes but a person in need is praying for...- Brinne

Praying For Stupid Stuff
Actually, it's not as arrogant or stupid as you might think. People have been praying to God/gods for material things for centuries. In fact, it's quite a commonly accepted thing in the Shinto tradition to ask for things like a new car, a new boyfriend/girlfriend, a good grade. The view is that...- Brinne
