Quote:Atheism is this.
And I think it's a religious endeavour as much as any other, in that it's an honest search for meaning.
For me, atheism is just the complete rejection of any religious belief. I'm kinda searching for meaning but for the most part it's truth I search for. Think I've found my meaning.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Although I guess I need to clarify :p
Real punk rock, not that typically fake American junk, is not over produced, heavy metal with spiky hair. It's stripped back to the basics, cut off as much as possible from tradition, raw expression of music. Punk rock is taking climax and putting it at the beginning. Having your band photos not go through PhotoShop to remove the not so nice reality.

No it isn't. It's as much the punk rock of religion as a disbelief in vampires is the country and western of the supernatural.

Funny answers thanks guys
If religion is a subject, then atheism is a position on that subject?
Maybe religion is the wrong word. Hell, even I hate the religious!
Maybe I should just say meaning. We all gotta work that out maybe. I find ppl here are more after the real mccoy than most. And so am I.

Oooh I've got some.
Christianity would be country and western.
Coz it is all really whiney and is all very, very crap.
Scientology would be Dubstep.
Futuristic and no one understands how it became popular.
Islam would be madrigals
Belongs to the middle ages.
This is fun.
