If you haven't checked it out already, you definitely should. This 8-minute video explains the complexity of God in a somewhat simple way. Great for atheists, Jews and all other faiths that find the Godhead confusing.
Let me know whether you agree or disagree.
God bless you!
This will be my first post, so please be kind. I am Thomas from Norway. Nice to meet you.
I say: If you end suffering, you end most of the sins. Create peace, and a nation will evolve. Into unity? This was always my dream. Can all religions find unity through common humanist ethics of Love and...
One thing I've noticed, is that of all non religious we'll say, or rather anti-theists, what not, explicit atheists seem to understand atheism, the least. This has even affected the very way that atheism is defined.
Ie,
'Know there is no god or gods'
No, you're getting what you think you know...

Can "My BeliefSystem = the only way" ever be "The Truth"?
Truth = That what does not change and is the same for all [IMO]
To illustrate this:
"1 + 1 = 2", can it be "The Truth"? Maybe in octal/(hexa)decimal counting, but not in binary.

You feel unimportant and discriminated because of your skin color or ethnicity? Feel like the minority?
How about being brown skin (like myself) or black skin and being as well an atheist.
Being myself a Mexican/American and an atheist is something that is beyond rare and looked down upon from...
First of all "Atheist" = "A theist", and is the opposite of what they say they are. Of course, that's just a play of words. But as Freud says "What's in a name". Can be coincidence or play of ....

Science does not know all, but something. This something includes: lost of Reality:
That's on the table:
1) to lose trust in Reality,

4) to say "blah-blah":
It was suggested in another thread that a belief structure that views God as non-anthropomorphic and non-transcendent (immanent) is sexed-up atheism.
What are your thoughts on this?
Atheism, is, a minority group. Religion(?) Probably not a religion, however since it involves religion, we can include it in that context.
People find religion, and atheism is left with a few spokespeople, and small but loud group on the net, etc.

I've been reading a book that I think many Pagans, theistic or not, should take the time to read. The book is called Godless Paganism. It's a fairly large collection of essays compiled by Pagan atheists, naturalists, humanists, pantheists, soft polytheists and even a few syncretic occultists...

Is atheism, satanism?
Are atheists unwilling satanists?
Is this why atheistic satanism is so common?
PROBLEM of DARWINIAN EVOLUTION and Secular Science in Universities:
