Beginner's Guide to Atheism.
RE: Beginner's Guide to Atheism.
If it is what I think it is, things like that Sunday assembly I just find kind of creepy... it may be parody and/or to make a point... but you wouldn't catch me dead in a place like that... religion can keep church as far as I'm concerned.

One can add rocks to water that does not mean the water is a rock . You can add religious trappings and concepts  to atheism but atheism is not a religion .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

Meh, I'd buy a church if it was @ least 80% under market on a hud auction.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I;m sorry, I'm sorry.  Excuse me.   Ahem.  So, who told you that?  Not one of those weird ass Black Hebrew Isrealite cultists, are you?

Quote:The most ancient communities of African Jews are the Ethiopian, Sephardi, and Mizrahi Jews of North Africa and the Horn of Africa.

You do realize that the white Jews that you are used to seeing are called Ashkenazi Jews and are of European decent, so we can pretty much eliminate them from the Bible.

Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie;

RE: Beginner's Guide to Atheism.
I didn't learn anything that I didn't already know..which is that you're a moron who doesn't read his own links. I have to ask, though, is it somehow meaningful for you to imagine that the original jews were black? More specifically, does this reduce any dissonance you might otherwise feel, as a person of color, carrying water for the religion of oppression?

It's something I've always wondered about the black christian experience. Impenetrable to me, ofc, for obvious reasons...and not something one generally finds occasion to ask.

This does not demonstrate atheism is a religion . Only that people can attach religious trappings on to it. But at it's core atheism is not a religion . It's a state of disbelief in the claim god exists . And trotting out some cultists who attach religion to it changes nothing .

Maybe, but personally I have no idea why anyone would want to do that... community is fine... but to recreate the church experience.... why? Wink I don't know about you but the only thing I associate with church is absolute boredom... why would I want to recreate that?

Some people have been so irreparably damaged that they require the paraphernalia of religion long after they can no longer believe in gods.
