Why atheism?

Copenhagen School  Religious Views: Its all bullshit to keep you handing money to the usher. (October 13, 2015 at 9:05 pm)JBrentonK Wrote: Losty, somewhere along the road you bump into god, yes? That's odd. Humanity has walked this boulevard of broken dreams for a 1000 centuries and there has yet to be a deity that has made himself plain.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.  
Lol. Didn't see that. They should take the question seriously.

Nope - I hope I'm wrong, in that there is an afterlife, so that I can see the expressions on all your stupid, religious faces, when it turns out that Manitou, or Huitzilopochtli is the real god and you all end up in hell, having wasted your life on fantasy. It's such a shame I'm most likely not wrong...

I don't "hope" because there are so many thousands of religions out there that it's unlikely that a relatively new one like Christianity is correct, especially when you realise Hinduism and others have been around so much longer. Would it be nice to have an afterlife? Depends what that afterlife entails. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"

On that point, I am right. But more importantly, I am asymptotically close to certainty, that you are wrong. You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence. |
