In Kingdom Hearts, there are creatures known as "Nobodies".
Human beings who have no hearts, or soul. Nobodies are believed to be just certain "accidents" and are nothing but empty husks with no emotion.
If a Nobody gets killed, their body returns to the person they were.
What's that have to do with atheism? Well everything.
Nobodies claim themselves "are not supposed to exist, yet we still do." Nobodies also lack a "heart", or a "soul" as they were treated as in the KH series.
It is kinda similar towards how some atheists believed that life was created by chance and/or there is no such thing as souls or the afterlife.
In KH Dream Drop Distance for 3ds, it is explained that Nobodies DO have hearts. Nobodies have simply evolved and learn to live just like the people who have hearts.
In other words, the hearts grew inside the Nobodies and the Nobodies become their own people.
It is very similar towards atheism, and the scientific theory of evolution. The idea of growing, evolving, into something more than they were.
And the part with how a Nobody returns to their original human form after they die is very similar towards the idea of "reincarnation" where if we die, we would be re-born again.
I hope you guys like my comparision. It is a lot less negative compared to my last post. Leave a comment on what you think. And you all have a great day!
LOL! If you are taking fiction to see how atheist society functions then look at Star Trek. It's more reliable then some fantasy games for kids. Like look at ST Voyager and captain Janeway and what kind of person atheism, rationalism and science made her. She didn't use magic to solve problems. She wasn't the chosen one. She wasn't a princess. She wasn't a feminine stereotype. Her powers were logic, science and rationalism. In many ways she is a real human being with doubts, fears and self questioning.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
