Atheist Angels |
Do angels appear differently to each religion?
Yes. But to your mind, not so much in what they wear.
A Buddhist angel probably looks Chinese, and often has a Chinese beard and
mustache, but a Christian angel often looks a little punchy. A Jewish angel
might look like he has an attitude, and an Islamic angel may seem
a little far away.
Be wary of atheist angels, though, as they are a little strange, since they
have to convert reality totally into the physical and surface conditions,
and that takes quite a bit of doing.
And their vision may be geared so much into what is close that they may
actually run into things sometimes.
Fortunately for the angel, it is just conditioning, not the way he really
is.

The Anaheim Angels wear baseball uniforms. I don't know how many are
atheists.

Let's see: atheists tend to believe in ceasing to exist at death, that there
are no spirits because you can't see them, and that the mind and heart are
just physical matter and nothing beyond that.
And that there is no Easter Bunny, Santa Clause or Tooth Fairy, or even
Leprechauns.
And that there are certainly no Hobbits!
Sounds like a religion to me.

Can't be sure about Hobbits
I didn''t see any in Thailand
(many small people, but no furry feet)
but up her in Holland I can't be sure
as everybody is wearing shoes,
all the tiny people are suspects:)
For the time being I am somewhat agnostic about Hobbits.

So a religion is about not believing in things? Then I gues christianity
isn't a religion.
More to the point do you have any concept of the difference between belief
and faith as used by "modern" christians? By modern I would say the last
1000 years or so.
Let's start simple.
What is your definition of belief?
What is your definition of faith?
It's always interesting to make a fundie actually think about things. It's
rare and dangerous to them.
Even if they keep their faith they tend to change for the better.

You could say you don't believe in God.
Or you could say you believe there is no God.
Either way, you are saying the same thing.
You believe a lot of things, and have a religion.
You share your terms of the belief (cease existing at death, etc.) with
others, and they agree, forming a worldwide consensus. That is the marks
of a religion.
Then I gues christianity
isn't a religion.

To support (to become involved in) the truthfulness of something.
What is your definition of faith?
Same things as belief, but with a touch of the divine.

So your belief structure does not match that of what most have held for a
thousand or more years.
How do you determine "the truthfulness of something"?
I "believe" the light will come on when I flip the switch.
How does this fit your defintion?

Only in the ears of people with limited intelligence. Lack of belief

You believe a lot of things, and have a religion.
Bzzt! Wrong! We have NO religion - that's why we're atheists.

"Belief" in reality isn't a religion. I know you're totally
unfamiliar with the word, but it's called "sanity".
What is your definition of belief?
To support (to become involved in) the truthfulness of something.
Well, if you redefine words, any word means anything you like. But if
you think faith is truth, why do you have faith in so many lies?

Dear Mark,
from the previous discussion I gather you do not understand the
difference between believing something and having a religion. Religion
is about congregations, rites, chants etc. believing something (or not)
is always a part of religion, but none religious people aslo believe
and disbelieve.
You are right inasmuch not believing (in multiple gods for instance)
can be just as much a part of a religionas believing (there is either 0
of 1). But unless you fnids an atheist congregation practicing atheist
rites,
there is no atheist religion. I don't think alt.atheism qualifies as a
congegation and posting qualifies as rite.
If it does: Then you too would be a member:)!
As for near death experiences (that's a new topic I think)
near death is not death.
And the knowledge is not impossible,
as it is well known that at least hearing operates normally under
sedation.
(with most people the memory operates bady though)

I would be more impressed with your delusion if you would point me to
the scriptural basis for this atheist religion and specifically the
references to angels.

Yes, but as atheism is no religion, Angels do not appear:)
Let's see: atheists tend to believe in ceasing to exist at death, that
there
are no spirits because you can't see them, and that the mind and heart
are
just physical matter and nothing beyond that.
And that there is no Easter Bunny, Santa Clause or Tooth Fairy, or even
Leprechauns.
And that there are certainly no Hobbits!
Sounds like a religion to me.
I would be more impressed with your delusion if you would point me to
the scriptural basis for this atheist religion
Is there a scriptural basis for the existence of the Golden Gate Bridge?
Not likely. Same thing with atheist's religion.
The Bible never claimed to hold all information like some super encyclopedia
of all time.
Although there is a supercomputer in the spirit world...if only you may gain
access to it...
and specifically the
references to angels.
Hebrews:13:2: Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have
entertained angels unawares.

So you do not have a book of Atheist Religion Scripture you can share
with us. OK. Then you have no authoritative evidence for the
existience of atheist angels except for your fevered imagination. OK.
The Bible never claimed to hold all information like some super encyclopedia
of all time.
I have no concerns for your Bible. I wanted evidence for the Atheist
Religion Scripture that discusses atheist angels. Your answers
indicate your are making it all up, similar to the claims made by
Christians and religious everywhere.
Although there is a supercomputer in the spirit world...if only you may gain
access to it...
Now you claim it is not a book of scripture for the Atheist Religion
but a databank in the ether. Does your imaginary computer know the
words to "Daisy"?

Alas, you are not entertaining.

But the atheists don't know about the atheist angels, except in their
hearts.
How could they possibly write it down?
And the atheist religion scriptures could be the Internet.
Somehow you got a consensus of many aspects of your religion.
How on Earth did you guys do this so well?

It is an infinite computer, containing all information from eternity reverse
to eternity forward. There is no possible way to explore all of it.
And much of it is classified, as is much information about the future.
But you can access it to a degree by thinking purely and haphazardly,
building upon what you are certain you already know.

No, Markie - some of us have actually been dead, so we KNOW.
that there are no spirits because you can't see them
And you'll post actual evidence that they exist when?
and that the mind and heart are
just physical matter and nothing beyond that.
And you'll post actual evidence that they're more when?

Whaaaaaat?
You've actually been dead?
How come you are alive now, or are you still dead?
You're having us on aren't you?
If you're not, just out of interest, were you buried or cremated?
Have you started to decompose yet?
All interesting stuff this- I've never had a conversation with a dead person
before.
What's it like, being dead?

Do you also think that atheists don't believe in radio waves because they can't
see them? Try using a little common sense.

Sure they do. They wear glorious red jerseys and tight pants and caps
with halos. Though they are rarely seen in the winter they are soon to
come back with the spring to refresh themselves and ready themselves
for the coming battle between good and evil.

Yes. But to your mind, not so much in what they wear.
A Buddhist angel probably looks Chinese, and often has a Chinese beard and
mustache, but a Christian angel often looks a little punchy. A Jewish angel
might look like he has an attitude, and an Islamic angel may seem
a little far away.
Be wary of atheist angels, though, as they are a little strange, since they
have to convert reality totally into the physical and surface conditions,
and that takes quite a bit of doing.
And their vision may be geared so much into what is close that they may
actually run into things sometimes.
Fortunately for the angel, it is just conditioning, not the way he really
is.
Moron.
