Although many people believe that atheists believe in nothing (as evidenced by some answers on this board), most of us know that's not true. Atheists simply don't believe in God(s). Period. But everyone believes in something and God is certainly not everything. What do you believe in?

I have known many atheists and only one was militant in non-belief of anything non-empirical. (He ranted all day about how stupid people were to believe in "superstition" including everything thing from acupuncture to aliens to the apocalypse.) but most I've known were far more flexible. Some are even willing to accept non-empirical ideas outside the idea of God(s) such as ghosts, magic, astral projection, reincarnation, different "worlds" ect. How far do your beliefs go outside the empirical?

I don't need a definition of atheism and I'm not interested in knowing what you DON'T believe (I know you don't believe in God(s)) I am simply interested in what you do believe. Just curious.

Ok, so I want to start reading these books. So far I know of the Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. But now im finding out that there are other books; The Silmarilon (sp?), The Book of lost tales, The History of middle earth...

My question is, which one should I read first (and what order should i read them) in order to get the maximum effect of the story? And are there other books that I didnt mention?

My neice asked me to help her with her English Homework, but my major was math, so I have no idea!!
She needs to identify .. alliteration, assonance, consonance, Rhyme and Rhythm in the following poem

THE CANONIZATION.
by John Donne


FOR God's sake hold your tongue, and let me love ;
Or chide my palsy, or my gout ;
My five gray hairs, or ruin'd fortune flout ;
With wealth your state, your mind with arts improve ;
Take you a course, get you a place,
Observe his Honour, or his Grace ;
Or the king's real, or his stamp'd face
Contemplate ; what you will, approve,
So you will let me love.

Alas ! alas ! who's injured by my love?
What merchant's ships have my sighs drown'd?
Who says my tears have overflow'd his ground?
When did my colds a forward spring remove?
When did the heats which my veins fill
Add one more to the plaguy bill?
Soldiers find wars, and lawyers find out still
Litigious men, which quarrels move,
Though she and I do love.

Call's what you will, we are made such by love ;
Call her one, me another fly,
We're tapers too, and at our own cost die,
And we in us find th' eagle and the dove.
The phoenix riddle hath more wit
By us ; we two being one, are it ;
So, to one neutral thing both sexes fit.
We die and rise the same, and prove
Mysterious by this love.

We can die by it, if not live by love,
And if unfit for tomb or hearse
Our legend be, it will be fit for verse ;
And if no piece of chronicle we prove,
We'll build in sonnets pretty rooms ;
As well a well-wrought urn becomes
The greatest ashes, as half-acre tombs,
And by these hymns, all shall approve
Us canonized for love ;

And thus invoke us, "You, whom reverend love
Made one another's hermitage ;
You, to whom love was peace, that now is rage ;
Who did the whole world's soul contract, and drove
Into the glasses of your eyes ;
So made such mirrors, and such spies,
That they did all to you epitomize—
Countries, towns, courts beg from above
A pattern of your love."

There is no physical proof of god's existence...but regardless of weather or not there is an "all-mighty" to control all, there is some kind of "physical", tangible force one often feels(recognised most commonly as god), this force is what is behind the biological, chemical etc reactions.
but at the end of the day, this is only a physical forcre, just like gravity is. this force would be meaningless had there been no gravity to support it, likewise gravitational force would be meaningless without this force that we call god to support it.
gravity is just an example. all the forces(it has been established previously) are inter-dependant.
So basically, GOD, is just a physical force, that our ancestors could not properly understand( or did not try hard enough)..the same way a lot of people worship the sun. it has been established that the sun is just a star...in lay man's words its just a ball of hot gas....so doesn't it make sense to say that whorshipping "goid" is useless, because

...about a boyfriend (or husband) who takes his girlfriend (or wife) to a psychoanalyst because they are fighting with each other (arguing) all the time, never agreeing on anything... because the boyfriend (husband) tries to control his girlfriend (wife) all the time, he is the dominating type. but the girl (wife) then falls for the psychoanalyst... this should be funny, with twists of situations and expectations... what the man is trying to hide is that he himself has been this psychoanalyst's patient some years ago because of troubles with a previous girlfriend and they are now friends. but the girl (wife) shouldn't know all these...
what do you think? would you read such book?

I'm not talking about a "master-race" or anything like that. Just one individual. What would be the perfect human being to you? Would it even BE human, in the end?

Were Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot conspirators fighting just for the right to practice their faith, or did they intend to force Catholicism on all of England?
