Thoughts on Atheism (and a plea to the religious)
#17
RE: Thoughts on Atheism (and a plea to the religious)
I suppose no, I'm not familiar with existentialist christians, although I can't say I've ever met one. I apologize for making a grandiose statement and failing to recognize what I'm going to assume is a religious minority.

I'm not saying science is better because religion makes you believe unpleasant things. I'm only saying that science doesn't threaten punishment. Nature doesn't make decisions.

I didn't leave the faith because of any single scientific work, but because it made more sense to me on the whole. If you recall, I left because of what I was being taught by the church. The science came afterward.
You really believe in a man who has helped to save the world twice, with the power to change his physical appearance? An alien who travels though time and space--in a police box?!? [Image: TARDIS.gif]
