Fr0d0, if you don't mind me asking, what is it that you do believe?

    Thread: Do some people need religion?
Post: Do some people need religion?
As atheists, most of us recognize both the irrational nature of religious belief and the harm its' fundamentalist form does to humanity and the planet as a whole. Many of us, I'm sure, would like to s...

Post: RE: God is above conventional reason
People from all religions report "personal experiences" that they interpret as somehow "supernatural" or "divine." That, to me, points toward a naturalistic social psychological phenomenon rather than...

    Thread: Why hate Athiest?
Post: RE: Why hate Athiest?
The perception many -- especially in the rural United States -- have of atheists is that we're amoral, anti-theistic, and lead meaningless lives. This image is pushed heavily in conservative churches ...

Actually, yes, you can see your brain (just need an MRI), and your doctor can touch it during surgery. Brains are demonstrable, detectable, so is the wind (another favorite analogy from evangelicals),...

Post: RE: Former Pentecostal Christian

Post: RE: Love the person above you
You value rationality and skepticism, which is awesome (and all-too-rare in society today).

I agree with Kayenneh: life is objectively meaningless, and objective morality doesn't exist, but kindness and altruism have helped us survive, so they seem like good ideas. Everything is meaningles...

If hard determinism is true, then Dawkins doesn't have a choice in the matter, either :).

Post: RE: Could Barack Obama be an Atheist?
