The most important reason anyone is an atheist

[Little Rik]

Atheism does not hold that life is finite. What lies on the other side of death is a mystery. My hunch is that what comes next does not include me. Atheism gives me no certainty on this matter nor on any other 'big question'. I have my hunches and other atheists will have theirs but there is no orthodoxy here. Why do you think otherwise?

Opshhh, here we got a big problem dear Wt.
Almost all atheist in this forum say that life is finite so you must be a beacon of light among the total darkness in saying that this is not the case.
But wait a minute.
A beacon of light is a truth and as far as i can see you are not saying any truth.
You say that you do not know which is a lot better then saying crap like saying that life is finite without bringing any evidence with.
I am considering to give a kudos or two for your honesty.

We've gone over this ground before. Your Intuitional Science is no more science than Christian Science. The word "science" is misapplied in both cases. The only difference is that when a Christian Scientist is asked to justify his assertions he will answer "because the bible .." whereas you answer "because my teacher ..". Science is not about authoratative knowledge sources.

Gee, after coming down with some decent comment you reverse to the usual dogma.
How sad.
There is no such a thing as christian science as religions are based on dogma not science.
Spirituality on the other hand is based on science as the spiritualist search for knowledge within and that search is called INTUITIONAL SCIENCE.
A spiritual teacher does not say..........this is the truth .......but say.....you search within and you will know the truth.

The issue isn't so much with the words you're using, they're actually very easy to understand and generally make sense. No, the problem lies with what you're trying to make the words do. The great Edward Lear made a career out of nonsense verse and sketches; he'd probably have jacked it all in if he'd ever met you.

You see Stimbo, you had a real good run for so long dealing with religious people.
In fact you had a FIELD DAY that lasted for too long.
Dealing with dogmas or false truth is too easy so when enrico pop up you could not understand what he was talking about and still now you find too difficult to understand.
That is the problem that arise when you do not work very hard with your consciousness.
Religions do not deal with consciousness so you never had to think very hard in that sense.
On the other hand also atheism does not make you work very hard as it is totally devoid of consciousness arguments.
One day probably in the next life or the one after you will realize how hard is to build up consciousness and you will regret the day that you say that what enrico say is a nonsense.
