How Much of a Theist or Atheist are You?

[james bond]

It is completely possible to base one's life around love and compassion while not believing in the biblical Jesus' claims to divinity or the attachment of deities, afterlives, et all. Christianity neither has these qualities exclusive, nor are they immune from narcissism, as I've known plenty of Christians who take Pascal's wager to the Nth degree, and are Christian because they want heavenly rewards and to avoid punishment of judgement, not because of a strong sense of love and compassion.

Name five atheists known for their love and compassion. They just want you to become Commies.

Should I feed the names into the tiny tunnel you look at the world through or...?

This is what the internet atheists believe or what they want you to believe. They believe whatever the liberal cosmologists tell them and accept it as science. It's more philosophy or even a scientific wild *** guess. Science is the search for the truth and it's always been about disagreements. It wasn't that long ago, people were buying into string theory, M-theory and multiple dimensions and multiverses. We didn't confirm all of Einstein's ToR until last year. Even then, there may still be questions such as the speed of light. We did confirm Newton's Law wasn't exact, but it still held for most calculations done on the universe.

Yes, ultimately I would think the whole point of science is NOT having to take someone's word for it, least of all politicians and college professors!

I know what you mean. Your love and compassion for scientists and atheists can be clearly seen in every post you make.

De facto atheist. I think the gods are mental constructs. Playing with NLP and creative visualization has allowed me to realize how easily spiritual visions and experiences and stuff can be manipulated, which means they can't exist outside of our own imagination.
