Atheism the unscientific belief (part one, two, and three)
|
Yeah... Rikky, you project so much you ought to be in a cinema.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

So which is it, fucko? A belief or a non-belief? How could a belief also be a non-belief? A non-belief does not have to be based on anything more than a lack of evidence, which is what you have. Evidence or fuck off. On a side note, a fictitious house could be built however I want. Fiction consists entirely of things people have made up. I could build a fictional house that hangs in space, has no floors, and has walls made of moonbeams. There are practically no rules governing the existence of fictional things.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42) Also, I has a website: www.RedbeardThePink.com (September 27, 2015 at 8:57 am)Little Rik Wrote: 1) Has already been established that there is No evidence that with the physical death everything is over. I took the liberty of numbering what I believe your points actually are: 1) You are the one making a positive claim here, you need to provide the evidence for your claim. Not believing in an afterlife is simply the default position when there is no evidence for an afterlife. 2) What is this I don't even. But in general on consciousnes and the mind, it is becoming increasingly more obvious with each passing year that both are emergent properties of the incredibly complicated and complex (they are not the same thing) called the brain, and the even more incredible synaptic and electrical connections created within the brain. So in essence we do get the framework to build our personal consciousness from previous generations. It's evolution, foo'! 3) Go to 1, god is as unproven as the afterlife. And no not everything is possible. For example, there is no way for your life to continue if you were to be exposed to the vacuum of space. 4) Under gravity the big is also attracted to the small, just not to the same extent. Under the better and more accurate relativity, what is called gravity is simply a curvature in space-time created by physical objects. How this relates to consciousness you don't know, frankly. 5) Look I'm just going to post a funny video here, because there is nothing in this point, nothing. & the punch-line 6) And the scientific method is by far the best method we have for doing this. Without it we'd be left simply with the kind of nonsense I'm replying to you, or snake-oil salesmen taking financial reward from the fears of superstitious people (otherwise known as religion) 7) More accurately, science is a way of eliminating what is wrong. Very little in science outside of physical phenomena is ruled as definitely true. 8) Some examples of invention: Fire, the Wheel, Painting, Jewelry, Arrow-heads, Axe-heads, Sculpting. And I haven't even left Lascaux yet. Inventions are plentiful, like grains of sand at the shore. 9) What is invention, only discovery? Idiot. 10) Just because somebody else we've never met nor likely ever will, nor have they had an influence on us, has invented something, this doesn't preclude us coming up with that thing being equally inventive. Many things have been invented in two different places in parallel, for example writing or the calculus (Leibnitz was probably slightly ahead of Newton, but they both deserve credit) or even the theory of Evolution. 11) You will have to be specific. All people have blind spots where they are less open to new ideas than they should be. This doesn't validate your non-argument. 12) As Terry Pratchett once wrote (I'm paraphrasing): "It's all well and good having an open mind, once it's not so open that your brain will fall out". That is what you are asking us to do. 13) Atheism is not a belief, it is the acceptance of the fact that without evidence for any god non-belief is the correct position. And "the flow to run freely" what does that mean? It's almost as if you just got this post straight from the postmodernism generator.

Beanie you try to think too deeply but your brain is not smart enough to understand a single thing. A non-belief is also a belief. When you say......i don't believe that God exist.......... you make a judgement in your mind that such and such a thing must be like this or follow a certain path. The mind need a place to lean on therefore every time it lean somewhere it create a belief in something. You never thought about it beanie, did you?
