Anonymous asked: (previous anon.. again:)) I totally understand what you are saying and you make really good points. I think the main think is that we were raised and taught about Catholicism in different generations (as you mentioned before) but when I said the "popular" views of God, I meant that in my theology class, we were taught that those were the popular views of God.
Now people...

lulito asked: Hi :) I just started following you and I must say you have a great blog going on here. I like to think that I'm a non conformist (religion wise) but, if I were to put myself into a group I would be an Agnostic.

Anonymous asked: idiot
Anonymous asked: I don't mean to be rude to atheists, but why do you guys try so hard to prove that God doesn't exist? If people are happy believing in God, why not just leave them alone?

Opinions Please - Atheist Afterlife
To all my followers I am looking for some opinions or ideas. This is mainly directed to my followers who are also Atheists as I know I do have several Christians that follow me as well. I really want to hear from any Atheists that have any ideas or opinions of what happens after death beyond just “you’re dead”. As an Atheist of course I don’t believe in the idea of Heaven...

Mummified Buddhist Monks →
It’s amazing the things some people will do for their religion. It’s a really interesting read and amazing to think they that they basically committed long and sometimes excruciating suicide in the name of achieving some sort of higher awareness.

Rant: Faith
You know what I hate? I hate the way religious people throw around the word “faith”. They use it as if it’s some sort of special power they have that non-believers simply can’t understand. They use it as if it’s an answer to a question. If you try and debate with a person who is religious long enough you know they’ll end up throwing out the word...

illuminatedbeing asked: Hey, I just saw your post about Zeitgeist, and I was wondering which parts of the movie you found incorrect? I'm going to assume that you are talking about the first third of the movie when it discusses the origin of Christianity, but could you please enlighten me? I saw that movie a while ago, and when I tried to research the religious part I couldn't find anything solid to prove that...

Zeitgeist - Retraction
Alright, so I have taken down my post that I made earlier linking the movie Zeitgeist. After having time to rethink it over and thanks to the always wise http://friendlyatheist.tumblr.com I have to retract my strong endorsement of the movie. It was short sighted and unwise of me to give the movie such praise when I knew there were at least some errors in the facts. After doing a bit more looking...

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to...
Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, you believe in GOD?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD good?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL?
Student : Yes.
Professor : My Brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
(Student was silent)
Professor : You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is GOD Good?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is Satan good?
Student : No.
Professor : Where does Satan come from?
Student : From...GOD...
Professor : That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor : So who created evil?
(Student did not answer)
Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who created them?
(Student had no answer)
Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe The World around you. Tell me, son...have you ever feen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor : Yet you still believe in HIM?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor : Yes, Faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor : Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn't...
(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events)
Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat,
Mega Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat. But we don't have anything called Cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero
Which is No Heat, but we can't go any further after that.
There is no such thing as Cold.
Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat.
We cannot Measure Cold.
Heat is Energy.
Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.
(There was pin-drop dilence in the Lecture Theatre)
Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as
Darkness?
Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the Absence of
Something.
You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light...
But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its
Called Darkness, isn't it? In reality, Darkness isn't. If it is,
You would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?
Professor : So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student : Sir, my point is, your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor : Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue
There is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD. You are
Viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure.
Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought. It uses Electricity and
Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.
To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that
Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing.
Death is Not the Opposite of Life, just the Absence of it
Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from
a Monkey?
Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process,
yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the
argument was going)
Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at
work and Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going Endeavor,
Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir?
Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?
(The Class was in uproar)
Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the
Professor's brain?
(The Class broke out into laughter)
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's
brain, felt it, touched or smelt it?...
No one appears to have done so.
So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable
Protocol, Science says that you have No Brain, sir. With all due respect,
sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The Room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face
unfathomable)
Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student : That is it sir...Exactly!
The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.
That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.
That student was ALBERT EINSTEIN.
So I'm sure many of you have seen this absolutely ridiculous post floating around all over the place. Each and every time I see it, I hate it even more. People are passing this garbage around thinking they sound intelligent. All they're doing is helping to delude even more people with false information. First off it is a well known fact that Einstein is JEWISH. So if the professor asked him, are you a Christian? He probably wouldn't of said yes, he would say, no, I'm Jewish. Second of all, Einstein by the end of his life was an Atheist. He thought that religions were all pretty much the same, founded on superstition and fantasy. He still always referred to himself as a Jewish man but did not believe in God. (Source http: //www.lettersofnote.com/2009/10/word-god-is-product-of-human-weakness.html )
As for the story on it's own the first part of it is basically word games. There is no cold only absence of heat, no dark, only absence of light. All that is is just word games, cold is the word we give to an extreme absence of heat. Word games are no way to try and prove the existence of God. Which then bumbles around a bit to a point that since we can't measure "ideas" and "thoughts" that there are things science can't explain. Eventually comparing the fact that they can't see the professor's brain, which is tangible and easily proven to exist, to the same idea. Again another worthless point in any defense of the existence of God. Then finally the last point that really really really gets to me. Asking if the professor has ever observed evolution and he says no? No? Do you really think this supposed professor would say no? Obviously if he was an intelligent man as the story tries to paint him to be, but then proven foolish, he would know the difference between micro and macro evolution and be able to state that he has in fact seen evolution at work with his own eyes.
I was trying to decide on what to rant on next, was either going to be "miracles" or "faith" and with the last line of this story it's clinched it that I'll be ranting on faith next. I have made it a point to try and tell as many people as I can that reblog this to my dash that the story is fake. More made up then most the stories in the bible. If you see people passing this around please try and help even in a little way showing them how insane the whole idea of this story is.
