Do you have the right to be an atheist?

[Excited Penguin]

You're awesome.
The morally apt stand for me to take would be to be an Atheist.
The logically apt stand for me to take would be to be neither.

It's like a constant battle i have with myself.If you know what i mean.

I know what you mean. But the so-called logical stand can be ignored in this case, as it is too inconsequential to be taken into account. We don't follow logic for logic's sake, but for our own. Where logic informs our actions for the better, logic is fine, but where it contradicts our own well-being, it's pretty much useless. Just so, the logical stand becomes the moral stand here, as elsewhere where ethics might be involved(especially concerning the self-preservation instinct).

Some people I admire for their knowledge, like Lawrence Krauss, might not agree with me on this point , A.K.A. The universe is not here to please us. Well, of course Krauss is attacking religion with this particular statement but I do begin to wonder sometimes watching him if he's not a little too "overboardy" about science.


I'm going to go ahead and recommend this video to all the "mean" atheists:

P.S.
Look, pool, actually you might be very right about something: we might not even need to call ourselves atheists, all we need is reason and logic. Sam Harris would agree with you, in fact, he took a lot of heat for similar opinions. I recommend you check him out(books or yt, w/e).
