OT: For the theists here (OK, atheists can look too) |
I gave myself a haircut just for you. What color is my hair?
http://home.inreach.com/vicman.baldy10.JPG
I am an atheist. The lack of religion can be compared to the lack of hair.
You wouldn't associate a hair color with my lack of hair would you? Then
why would you think my lack of belief in gods is a belief?

That scalp would look *MUCH* better with hair.

Presumably if a theist assumes God responsible for our conscious
experience, then are atheists taking offence at the theists thinking
that they would have spent some time thinking about it, and have an
alternative belief which results from them being an atheist (not
believing that God is responsible for it)?
If the atheist thought that the physical is responsible for their
consciousness, are they so sensitive, that if someone asked them for
their atheist belief that the physical is responsible for their
consciousness, that they would get all upset, and start claiming
wrongly that atheism doesn't infer belief? As it does unless you have
as a working assumption that all atheists are stupid. Presumably
otherwise, they would have given things some thought about what it
would mean if there wasn't a God, and would have believed it those
alternative theories.
BTW how do you atheists believe evolution could be responsible for our
conscious experience, if our behaviour is in fact determined by a
physical mechanism (the human organism)As it would mean that
consciousness could not be an evolutionary advantage, i.e. same human,
one experiences consciousness, one doesn't, mechanism the same, why
would they act differently?
(Don't tell me I had the wrong working assumption about atheists)

I won't but when it comes to evolution you have your head up your arse.
Consciousness is a by product of lateral thinking, a superb survival
advantage in a tool using creature.

Consciousness is a by product of lateral thinking, a superb survival
advantage in a tool using creature.
So our behaviour isn't determined by any type of biological mechanism
then?
If you're suggesting it is a biological mechanism, then imagine two
parallel universes, identical in terms of the observable laws of
physics, but differing in that one consciousness doesn't exist.
Presumably you agree that as long as the mechanism is the same, and the
observable laws of physics are the same, then the organism would behave
the same.
Are you capable of following it so far?
P.S. Why did you pick that nickname, are you stupid? Did you think it
made you look clever?

Amazing, you get one theist reply, and the atheists get all shy, and
huddle together in groups. I mean even Uncle Vic himself saw the theist
reply, and just decided to reply to an atheist instead.
Here's a question for you, do you think atheism has a big future?
