Do you Atheists realize that by denying God's existence that?

Question

you are living in the real world, like I am. Cool isn't it?

Answer 1

Yea!

Answer 2

I feel that I'm really an agnostic - a "damned Spencerian agnostic!" - but I use the term "atheist" because of its moral punch. No, we cannot know, ultimately, whether God exists; but that doesn't mean that theism is just as rational as atheism. It always puts some perspective on the question if you replace "God" with any other mythological being. Can we assert with absolute certainty that leprechauns do not exist? No. Does that mean we all might as well assume that they do? After all, we have the "testimony of tradition"! Many people claim to have seen leprechauns!

Answer 3

Yes, it's very cool:

Abandoning baseless mythology is such an eye-opener.

No longer does one constantly try to reconcile reality with holy books that are thousands of years old, and completely out of touch with reality, not to mention deemed 'special' or 'infallible' completely arbitrarily.

No longer is one blinded to the sheer wonder of the universe and everything in it--one can spend their life constantly learning new things, and sharing in the joy and awe of scientists when they make a new discovery--whether by 'cheerleading' or entering the field(s) directly.

No longer does one waste time gambling one's life away, preparing for an afterlife that probably isn't even there, and even if it was, is very unlikely that it is anything like one would imagine. Instead, one can cherish each day, living it as well as one can, seeking as much happiness as possible, and endeavoring to help others do the same. If a benevolent god or gods exist(s), would they not look favorably upon someone who lives this way?

Atheism is wonderful.

Theism can only offer an illusion, a pretense of certainty that is based on nothing but human imagination, that tricky thing that has been shown to be all too deft at deceiving us. One can only feel pity when they see someone making theistic assertions that aren't real, that CANNOT be real, by their very nature. To declare certainty of the existence of any god or gods is absurd, much less to be so pretentious as to DEFINE a god, and arrogantly tell others all about it, as if some lowly human had anything resembling the capacity to even conceive of such a thing.

Answer 4

the priority is the considered God is largely a thought. you may seem at something and be "God did that!!!!" or you may motel to something else like technological expertise or perhaps Norse ideals like Odin. Atheists basically extremely dislike the Christian God because of the fact he acts like a 5 12 months previous. and that i say this because of the fact my thought of an exceedingly suitable being does not screw up as lots because of the fact the Christian God did. he's so suitable yet each and every thing he made screwed up so his responsible all potent determination is to scorch em... My thought of an exceedingly suitable being might deliver all human beings after loss of life to a brilliant place the two they killed a ton of human beings or donated all of their money to charity. he or she or factor. might instruct us our blunders and how we ought to constantly have resolved them and be our bro. and you do no longer some church to worship He, She, or factor because of the fact whilst your born do you trip alongside your mum and dad praising em... NO! when you consider that retarded. possibly a 5 12 months previous might desire to be praised like that yet no longer my thought of a all very suitable being. every person who believes in this additionally does not must be ignorant and a hypocrite and tension human beings into believing is with the help of killing and torturing their human beings and belittling what they suspect... Plus the Christian God killed like what 232 Million souls to make a extra advantageous Earth... howdy!!!! Hitler killed around 6.8 Million Jews and the kill count quantity does not even end there alongside with the deaths of Russian and varnish POW's, Gypsies, Communist Supporters. Handicapped, homeless, Ect.... Hitler did this to make a extra advantageous Germany... Why might you be dumb adequate to worship a 5 12 months previous. i'm sorry however the belief of the Christian God is sooo improper that Christianity will finally end up like Greek, Roman, and Norse ideals. it's going to develop into mythology... yet another factor is each and every of the religions that persist with the Bible basically opt for that is and bits sooo yeah no thank you. yet i'm in contrast to maximum human beings I appreciate everyones ideals whether they're as retarded as Christianity. yet once you bomb on somebody else or perhaps me... sport over.

Answer 5

Hmm....


Reality? Or the metaphysical musings of bronze age goat herders? Reality? Or the metaphysical musings of bronze age goat herders?

Tough choice, until you study reality enough to see how wonderfully neat it is. The way fantastic patterns can arise from simple rules is at once obvious (once you look at it) and marvelous all at once. Nature is much cooler than any myth.

Answer 6

Yes, nothing like living in their crazy world.

Answer 7

It's hard not to notice that the whole Christianity thing is like having a wildly enthusiastic cheerleading squad but no game.

Answer 8

lacking a belief in any and all gods

to deny it would imply it existed in the first place ;)

Answer 9

Why would I want to live anywhere else?
