What are your opinions on Anti-Theism?

[icehorse]

I am aware of 'Occam's Razor'. But when there are no satisfactory explanations using scientifically accepted concepts then it becomes reasonable to consider new concepts. 'Science' must take the position that 'we don't know' sometimes but I as an individual can intelligently consider everything and believe what I find most reasonable but then I can't claim scientific proof (which I don't).

The world would be a much better place if all theists thought as clearly as you.

I am an anti-theist and just curious on the overall opinions of anti-theism by theists and nontheists

I think there is a need to challenge religion currently but I question the effectiveness of a full onslaught of total anti-theism. I am "Anti-theistic political power". But not generally anti-theistic unless it becomes harmful.

Some people have no business following mythology as reality.


Others seem to have no problems with it, and remain non violent

Hi,

I respect everyone's right to feel how they feel, but I think that a government should not outlaw religion.

I agree. And that is not what anti-theism is all about anyway.

Well, when you attach "anti" to a word, it suggests to me that one would be open to attacking that which the party(s) is "anti" or those who believe in what the party(s) is "anti."

If people want to believe in a Deity, again, I say that they should be free to believe in that Diety. I don't know a lot about communism but if religion is not allowed in communism I wouldn't subscribe to communism.

Peace.

There is a lot of difference between anti-theism and government-backed repression of religion, because:

1. Religion and theism are very different things.

2. Anti-theism is not, and shall never be, backed by governments but rather by individuals.

3. Forbidding religion is pointless anyway. People will hold whatever beliefs they feel like holding.


People should indeed feel free to believe in deities. They should not expect everyone else to find that a good idea, though.

I don't know a lot about communism either. Maybe it is anti-theistic. I wouldn't know.
