This is most ideal life anyone can wish for. So why is there a word such as atheism to describe us sane, rational people? The word atheism implies an extreme position in the spectrum of beliefs. However, it is the most rational and sane life that anyone can hope for. It is ultimately the most joyous life that one lead which is free from delusions marked by irrational, bullshit beliefs. it is not in an extreme position. Furthermore sane, rational people like you and I don't need bull shit religion to lead morally sound lives. It does bother me a little that atheism implies an extreme position. Also, theists may think they are providing rational arguments for the existence of God but they are nothing more than vague arguments that often use bullshit beliefs as the basis of argumentation. At the same time, I realize that although religious beliefs are bull shit, it is nevertheless a part of human nature to believe in bull shit like religion, but that does not mean that atheism should be viewed as an extreme position because it is rational, sane, and realistic. I think ultimately evolution will eliminate religion from societywhat are you opinions?
