Hey, I'm not fond of "religion" either, but let's think about this. Religion
is just a belief system by which men can worship or serve a higher power. In
your case. I would venture that you are religious in your pursuit of
atheism.
This makes no sense even by your own definition above: there is no belief
system in atheism, not to mention worship or "serving" any "power".
Atheism being your "religion" becasue you believe that Atheism is a
higher ideal than the sum of yourself and others.
*****. Try to understand first what atheism is by listening to atheists,
instead of telling us what we think and "believe". You come off as a pompous
twit, otherwise.
You are not making a clear delineation between religion and spirituality.
Religion is, as I said, a belief system developed by MEN at some point in
time that is as fallible as any opinion that can be held. True spirituality
is a communion with a higher power.
What the ***** does that mean? To begin with, you assume that there is some
"higher power" and then develop your ad hoc strategy for "communing" with
it. To a normal person, this must look like a mental illness, since no one
else is able to "commune" with this alleged power by normal means. Instead,
a lot of "knowing in one's heart" and similar ***** is provided by the
"spiritual" (i.e. deluded) people.
Communion is not possible unless bot
parties are able to give and receive.
Says who? Another one of your delusional ad hoc rules?
Your statement that you "hate religion", although as passionate as any
worship, is just as illogical as a bomber that justifies killing people that
are "infidels".
There is nothing illogical about hating religion. Religion is responsible
for millions of needless and cruel deaths, for disappearance of entire
civilizations, for torture, witch hunts, slavery, plunder of wealth,
subjugating the poor, women, minorities, for extremist terrorism, etc.
Stating that one hates religion is like saying that one hates murder.
This is akin to saying that you hate Mathematics because you heard of
someone that is really bad at math that did something awful!
Not at all. Study the history of mankind and find out which class of people
profits from other people's misery while providing no service whatsoever.
Then name one valuable thing that religion provides, besides false hope,
false morals, false consolation, etc.
We all have belief systems that we adhere to. Some choose to believe only in
what they can see and touch while others choose to believe in a loving, all
knowing, all powerful God that sustains them.Since you believe in Atheism,
which is difficult to see and touch, you might be closer to other camp than
you think...
You are an idiot. A typical illiterate, ignorant and lying religious
*****. *****.

Got to be a Chocolate Jesus, better than a cup of gold
See, only a Chocolate Jesus can satisfy my soul
When the weather gets rough and its whiskey in the shade
Best to wrap your Savior up in cellophane
He flows like the Big Muddy, but that's okay
Pour him over ice-cream for a nice parfait...
Got to be a Chocolate Jesus, make me feel so good inside
Got to be a Chocolate Jesus, keep me satisfied
