God Became a Mirage

[Edward]

I think you have your definitions mixed up. What Atheistic doctrines?

1. That the creation event can't be known beyond the microsecond after the big bang

2. That there is no real consciousness but only the illusion of consciousness (a blatant contradiction)

3. That chaos rules (mathematical sense, not Get Smart sense) There is no order but only the appearance of order.

4. There is no purpose to anything.

5. Evolution is possible via chance and environment only.

A lot of atheists adopt these views because for them there is either god/no-god and I think the truth is in-between.

A lot of atheists merely have faith that they are correct. They adopt atheism only to escape the confines of church-imposed morality. I am not a man of faith, not theistic faith, not atheistic faith.

Of course, I realize all of the members of this group may have nothing at all to do with my generalizations. I'm simply trying to answer the question quoted above.

Hi Edward,

I second that question ... I am not aware of any atheistic doctrines that exist in the real world. As far as I know they are a machination (if that's the word) of theism, probably invented to demonise us.

Kyu

I hear you. Frankly, I enjoy the demonization!

You'll get used to EvidenceVsFaith; when he starts typing he has to type an essay

That's cool. I look forward to the long ones!
