Atheism the unscientific belief (part one, two, and three)

[Redbeard The Pink]

Holy, holy Pinky you are as bad as Rob.
You just remind me something about my younger years when i was living in Italy.
In summer i used to go in the Adriatic riviera where i could see thousand of north europeans
there for their holidays.
What it came in my mind was that if all these outsiders were coming in Italy Italy must be the best place on earth.
Well, well, how wrong i was.
Later on when i started travelling around the globe i found out that there are better places than
Italy especially here in Australia so my views changed so much.
You act exactly in the same way.
As a materialist you think that the physical universe is all there is but you never allow your consciousness take you in better places so you have build a dogma in your mind that the universe is the only thing there is.
Sad Pinky, very sad but as i did wake up also you can so all the best for your next trip within.  

Don't hold out on me, Rik. I know you got that good-good.

Actually, it's quite the contrary. I used to go around calling myself a Christ-following Shaman, thinking I had a special, unique, more-correct-than-usual perspective because I had the ways of the East, of the West, and of Science gloriously unified in my brain through the power of intense mental gymnastics. My brain was filled with New Age Judeo-Christian Enlightenment woo, and I thought I had magical, spiritual senses that allowed me to tap into the cosmic consciousness and know things that were impossible to know.

In short, Rik, I sounded a lot like you.

Again, for you to act like it's a dissatisfying prospect for the Universe to be "the only thing there is," you must not realize what an awe-inspiring place the Universe actually is, nor how lucky we are to actually be alive in it.
