How Do You Practice Atheism? |
Somebody below asked "How do you 'practice atheism'?"
Well, in the US, "practicing atheism" typically means sneering at
Christianity, since this is the dominant religion. Lately, the sneers
have been extended to Islam for understandable reasons. Judaism gets
fewer sneers, since atheists are as sensitive to charges of
anti-semitism as the rest of us and Judaism is unique in that it has an
ethnic as well as religious character. Since Americans are obsessed
with sin against race, they are more cautious there.
Atheists do not spend a great deal of time fretting about non-Western
religions. Few atheist websites spend many electrons sneering at
animism, or Sun worship, or Norse religion. As Chesterton said, if you
want to know what a culture holds sacred, just look at what it
considers blasphemous. "If you don't believe it," said Chesterton, "try
to have a blasphemous thought about Loki."
Interestingly, the most volatile terms in our culture are not
religious, but ethnic. Take the name of the Lord in vain and nobody
frets much. Say "niggardly" and a hush of dread falls over the crowd.
That too, tells you what we regard as sacred.
This, by the way, should be a caution for us. Nothing is held sacred
for long without generating a perverse backlash. A certain percentage
of people will applaud *anything* they deem as "transgressive" against
the Establishment. Civil rights have made legitimate gains in the past
century. That will be endangered, not by 19th Century KKK types longing
for the past, but by 21st punks who think they are being "daring" by
blaspheming accepted Establishment figures like Martin Luther King.
Look for the day when the same negating mentality that animates
mindless atheism is turned from Christian sacred things to secular
sacred things. If it can be held sacred, it will be blasphemed by
somebody. And the blasphemer *always* congratulates himself on being a
cut above the common herd of mankind.

I don't read what the idiots "pastor dave" and "words of truth" write,
they are in my killfile.
And now you get to join them along with all the other intolerant bigots.

atheists regarding being called immoral? The prejudice atheists have
against people who lie about us? The bigotry honest people have

Just as all atheists are not the same, not all theists are the same.
So
why not stop generalising?
Did I say all theists are the same? Nope. Guess you're just lying.
Just like "Pastor Dave" and "words of 'truth'". Feel free to continue
your intolerant, bigoted lying.
There are righteous atheists and immoral theists, and vice-versa, that
does not mean you judge either group by just some of the members of
that
group.
Where did I do that? I think you need to calm down, get some nice milk
and cookies, and reread what I wrote; you might realize it's dishonesty
and hatred I'm criticizing. It just happens in this instance to be
coming from theists, apparently exactly like yourself, who get their
panties in a bunch because not everybody accepts their lies and fairy
stories.

Golly. You fail to address a single point with anything substantive,
act self-righteous about it, and top post. Yep, that makes me
intolerant.

You count all the deities you think are real. If you come up with
zero, you're an atheist. It doesn't really take much practice.
Btw, your atheism is the result of your elevating of
yourself to godhood and not because of anyone
else. But thank you for showing us once again,
that atheists are very practiced at pointing their
finger at someone else for their sins, when it comes
time to accept blame. You're all weak minded.

You count all the deities you think are real. If you come up with
zero, you're an atheist. It doesn't really take much practice.
Btw, your atheism is the result of your elevating of
yourself to godhood and not because of anyone
else.
I see. So concluding that I'm evolved from a common ape ancestor, and
not
intrinsically different from any other animal, means I think I'm a god?
That's exactly what he means. Congratulations.
So you agree that he's insane?
I agree with with him and, consequently, you are wrong.
So, you agree with him that me, thinking that I evolved from an ape ancestor
and thus no different from any other animal, means I think I'm a god.
You need things repeated to you, but I think you're coming 'round.
You're insane too! What a coincidence!
Simple enough for you?
I don't think you want to phrase it like that.

Actually, atheism is the result of a FAILURE to elevate nameless,
anonymous, Bronze Age goat herders to the status of infallibility. It is
the result of FAILURE to accept ancient myths as unquestionably true.
IOW, it is due to a FAILURE to resist using your brain to its fullest
capacity.

Upset you, did we?
Thank you for proving that atheists, while claiming to be
loving and tolerant, are liars who seek nothing but the
destruction of someone' faith and do their best to tear it
down, all the while claiming that they "don't practice
atheism". <chuckle>
Have a nice life. :)

Why, in your world view *MUST* everyone have a god... even people who
say they don't get labeled with "you think you are god"? Is it that
Impossible for you to comprehend that people live just fine, happy,
productive lives without any gods?
But thank you for showing us once again,
that atheists are very practiced at pointing their

I think you're confused.. atheists don't believe in "sin", especially
as it's meant when spoken by a Christian. "Sin" is simply you put on
everything you don't agree with.
For YOU, it's a 'sin' to have impure thoughts about someone other than
your wife... actually, that will get you everlasting hell, for ME, I
love having impure thoughts, I even share my thoughts with my wife
when she's with me (and visa versa). Finding someone attractive isn't
a sin, either is shopping on the christian sabbath, anal sex, or
wishing I had my neighbor's great car... these are all SINS for you,
but only for you and those who are like-minded to you.
You're all weak minded.
Is this that "christian love" you're always blabbering and drooling
over? Do you REALLY have love for others.. even those you've never
met, when you say ALL atheists are weak-minded?
The pointy fingers you see head-on aren't pointing out your 'sins'...
they are pointing out your hypocrisy.

Hey, Dave, them's fighting words. You don't want to make the baby Jesus
cry, now do you? 'Cos he might just be inclined to call you a bigoted
liar.
You claim all atheists are weak-minded, yet atheists are the vast
majority of the USA National Academy of Science. Funny, that.
Atheists are also on average better educated than religious believers.
Funny, that.
Atheists also register higher on average IQ scores than religious
believers. Funny, that.
More religious countries have been shown to have worse social indices
(health, crime & so on) than less religious countries. After all of the
above, it wouldn't really be surprising, now would it?
Gee, I *wonder* what correlation there might be between being believing
in gods and being less intelligent, less educated or both? Could it
be.. religion?
<laughing>
ps How can atheists elevate themselves to godhood when they don't believe
in god?
Maybe you need to explain your idea of godhood to them so they don't
overstep the mark.
