I see no need to have an emotional investment of any kind in surviving death or being ruled over by an invisible wizard who has nothing better to do than punish me for all eternity if I put my penis in the wrong place.

[WonSul]

None. I don't need training wheels through life.

[Axeldeath]

I see this turning into another Atheism vs. Christianity thread, let's not do that.

 

Anyway, atheist.

[Song]

What are your beliefs?

Something similar to buddhism I guess.

 

Are you willing to stand up for them?

No, there is no point to it since I probably will never know 'the truth' anyway.

 

Are you extreme or just partial with your beliefs?

I'm just a hypocrite like everyone else too, so I guess partial?

 

Are you proud of your religion?

No, it is kinda hard to be proud of anything in this world to begin with.

I'm not primarily an atheist, but since existence is an absolute and the only thing that exists and that I accept is reality, I reject all claims of the supernatural. All arguments for a divine creator use incorrect metaphysics and imply that there is something beyond reality; to do this, you need to abolish reason.

 

I respect that people have believe in false metaphysics, but I don't have to like it; nor do I have to hold them all as equally credible as legitimate theories.

What joke?

[Eedo Baba]

I'm officially an atheist by creed, but I go to a Unitarian Universalist church. Unitarian Universalism is more of a philosophy than a religion. Basically the idea is to freely explore for yourself, and be good to others. There are people who go to my church who are, by creed muslim, jewish, ect.

The STFU Church. Now if im correct you are refering to the Phrase "Shut The F*** Up"

Now If that is a real church called STFU then I am sorry. I guess.

I believe in a cool guy who wants to be my friend, not some form of sadistic wizard. Such a summarization I think is a demented caricature (at best), not an interpretation.

Define "Good".

Either there is some kind of definition or absolution from which both and good and bad are tared and calibrated from, or Good and Evil are personal ideals, which vary from person to person. A single person's ideals cannot be a universal absolute.

Doublepost.

Define "Good".

 

The golden rule.

[Blue]

Define "Good".

 

The golden rule.

Which itself was stated by Jesus Christ. When he said it, it was about the first time anyone had every been directly taught to think that way. Thus the continuation of being "Good" whilst not believing in God, also requires inheriting a statute of Christianity. Interesting.

Oh ba you're right.

It was not started by Jesus. The Golden Rule pre-dates humans and was written as far back as possibly 2182 BCE, such as in "The Eloquent Peasant", which stated "Now this is the command: Do to the doer to cause that he do." Confucius back sometime between 551 BCE and 479 BCE wrote, "Here certainly is the golden maxim: Do not do to others that which we do not want them to do to us."

 

The Golden Rule began a long time ago, but was popularized by the New Testament and attributed, later, to Jesus...

 

I will not debate the merits of Christianity, any other religion, or atheism, though. Just pointing it out.

[Doom Shepherd]

Wait, what??

 

Anyway, yeah, the golden rule is OLD. Probably originated somewhere way back, like...

 

"Og say: 'You no want hit with rock? No hit others with rock'."

[Eedo Baba]

I think "humans" was a typo. He probably meant Jesus or Christianity.
