Discipline/lack of and atheism

RE: Discipline/lack of and atheism
(June 11, 2017 at 7:08 am)Adventurer Wrote: I need someone to break stereotypes that atheists are far from disciplined due to their 'lack of faith but also fear in God' as an agent in governing individual discipline. Theists have often argued that atheists are corrupt, drug too much, do not keep their house tidy, do not eat proper food, party too much, have sex with multiple partners/commit to adultery whilst married with kids and slacken off excessively.

I would like to hear about atheists and how they do with self-discipline, self-regulation and responsibility as well as atheist parents who regulate discipline on their kids.

Regardless of the definition of atheism, I'd like to hear from you atheists as humans examples of discipline you do develop and regulate in yourselves (and if parents, on your children).

I am an atheist of moderate to at times rigorous discipline but I won't tell - I'd like to hear a substantial amount of examples from you before I may tell mine. I'm just sick of being ostracised, ridiculed and laughed at by many atheists for being 'too weird, religious and stuff' when I exhibit rigorous self-discipline and regulation and instead being told to 'loosen up' too frequently.


Let's see...


Tried cannabis a few times, not my thing. Don't drink alcohol, nor do any other drugs.

My house is 'lived in' but I'm not a slob.

My diet is probably in the top 10% of healthy diets. I am 60 years old, and have 11% body fat. My doctor just told me that my diet related blood tests, blood pressure and pulse rate are that of healthy 30 year old.

I've had multiple sexual partners when I was younger, not sure what the big deal is. But now, I have been a monogamous, committed relationship with the same woman for 12 years.

As far as self discipline, here are a few examples:

With only having a 2 year college degree, though self study, I have worked my way into the type of IT job, with associated skills and responsibilities, that usually require a master's degree.

As I stated earlier, I work out several times a week, in order to keep myself in shape.

At the age of 60, I surf several times a week. I surf on short boards.

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.
