[quote:Anonymous Coward 72341210:MV8zODYxMTg4XzY5NTI3MTQ5X0IzQTM5QUFE] This is why atheism fails by every benchmark. I hope you realize this as you likely think you are a budding intellectual. To be an atheist means you ignore all the evidence, logic, and reason. This is why both Issac Newton and Charles Darwin were not atheists. Frankly this is why Neil deGrasse Tyson is not an atheist either. He is an agnostic as he feels that there is no evidence to believe in YHWH nor disbelieve in YHWH. An agnostic primarily states, "I believe in evidence and peer review of findings. We can never know for certain based upon our limited tools and inability to look for all evidence." The preponderance of self-declared atheists are most likely nonbelievers. They do not believe in YHWH as they have not taken the time to examine the evidence, logical proofs, and reasoned it out themselves. Some are antitheists. And antitheist is someone who had a bad experience with religion and has rejected Christianity (almost always) but lacking evidence, logic, and reason. Many of these become satanic atheists. That is a specific philosophical definition, not a value judgement. Some are Satanists. They admit they believe by faith in Lucifer. Some are atheists but generally cannot explain it. A lot of you fit this category. This is a religious activity to you as your disbelief in YHWH lacks evidence, logic, and reason. [/quote]
Original Message
Its a thought exercise, an abstraction exercise. If you can, imagine that all you know about your specific religion is a lie. Like all the religions along history that arise, faded and die, think that your religion is also a lie. What would you do?
- If you can't do it and go with the path "It can't be" or "I just can't cope with such an idea", don't bother posting.
- Don't quote the bible, its pointless for the exercise, if you can't do it, you fall under the category above, of people incapable of abstract thinking
