The question says it all, needn't to be explained. However, wish to know your view point about life, whether comfortable or agonising.

Hi. I was wondering what the specific philosophical differences are between atheists, humanists and realists.

I am putting it here instead of R & S because I really just want the facts and not the pros and cons of these three schools of though VS. any religion.

Are the three of them pretty much the same or are there significant differences?


Thank you all so much for your thoughtful answers.

How much of our life and things in our life are really under our control? Isn't it all really a result of the choices we make? Do we really have any control? I'm beginning to think that we only have choices and no control. Life is all about making appropriate choices...

What were Nietzsche's objections of the traditional philosophy that Plato and Descartes talked about? Reading Nietzsche really got me confused on his views of them.

The question is simple, here is some motivation behind the question:

How does the beauty of pure mathematics relate to the existence of a God: Can you describe EVERYTHING in our universe purely by science (and thus pure mathematics)? If so does this essential give humans the potential to find the "meaning of life"? Godels theorems are a potential contradiction to this statement.

Modern day cosmology: implying the expansion of the universe and raising other questions on the existence of a God. I'm not really clued up on cosmology/string theory/big bang theory etc... but the universe is expanding into WHAT exactly?

Finally: to what extent do religious people except these facts of nature? Are they facts (to most this is obvious)? How is science incorporated into religion?

To all atheists, agnostics and religious people alike: put across your opinions AND discuss others. What are YOUR motivations behind the asking of this question?

Thanks

what one believes is not alway true, we who see that earth had to have a master creator know well that all the earth creation never just pooped into being. nor does the big bang theory hold up in truth..everthing that is now had to have a maker and that maker of all things can be no other that God almighty...God has give us a free will to believe and think and make choises...my choise is that there had to be a master builder and creator ...nothing cannot be made from nothing. there had to be something to create all substances...and this is the earnest truth of the whole sugject.. no matter what one believes the truth will stand forever and will not faulter...

....when I say that 'you are what you think'?

If you think BIG you are bound to get far in life, but if you are always sad and frustrated, then you are stagnating yourself.

our planet earth is a wonderful planet which
has love of mother nature in abundance.
every place has its own speaciality and is scenic
and beautiful.
in these modern times life has become more comfortable
and luxurious.
what changes woud u like in life here.
we r all currently somewhat removed frm nature and
pressed for time
we r getting more and more formal and stiff and ambitious.
i think it is bcas we want to pocess more and more material comforts
as opposed to enjoying life as it is. we esp want to earn for children.
suggest an ideal life on earth
what really makes us happy and life worthwhile

… that one should always make efforts, and rely upon them; that life is all about dreams you have, goals you set for your self, and then concerted efforts you make in order to bring all this to reality in time; that nothing is preordained, destined, or permanently set in advance; that it is, if not entirely then to great extents, up to you. The life is yours to make whatever you set your mind towards making it; that you could always change the future, and even by smallest of your effort could cause greatest of affects in your life.
