A Warm Welcome to All of You

[Alex K]

Welcome to the forum!

Hey guys (and gals) !

Just joined this forum with only one intention: to learn.

I would believe that majority of you guys are atheists (or agnostics) and all the others are here to simply convert you to their respective religions !  

I would however prefer learning about Atheism. And there are so many aspects to it that I cant possibly list it down here.

Ok, so far I'm optimistic.

For example, Atheists rejects Bible and Quran, etc. as Books of God; rejects the concept of Afterlife; rejects the creation of Man, etc. etc. But what exactly are the arguments (with proofs) for all these rejections?

I'll answer with an example: I have an invisible dragon which will haunt you forever in the afterlife if you don't praise me and give me all your money. I even have an old book that vaguely states something to that effect, and an Angel told me that it is so. Now, I'm sure you have proof that this dragon (who is a really nasty character, rest assured) does not exist. Why else would you refrain from giving me all your money?

Further, Atheism believes in sovereignty of Man.

I don't know what that means

but what do you mean by it?

Wait, you put words in my mouth and now I'm supposed to explain them to you?

How would you define the concept of Freedom and Liberty in Atheism?

I live in a democracy with a set of human rights written into law. That's a pretty good start, even if there are some improvements I'd like to propose.

And how do you propose we should live our collective lives, politically, economically, and socio-culturally? Are these any moralistic or ethical topics in this religion?

I don't understand the question. What religion?

And so on and on and on.
