Does Atheism make sense?

[TheDarkestOfAngels]

It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the bible.
George Washington

It seems that our founding father agrees to my point of view. Again I ask, does Atheism make any sense?

Richard Dawkins once complained that his leg hurt after tripping and hitting his shin against a sheer edge of a stairway. He said:
"Damn it! This fucking hurts! There can't be a god with all this pain!"

Forty years before that? Nazis. Nazis everywhere.

Therefore, I ask you, does theism make any sense?

Just did a little more digging and it seems our new friend lifted that whole post about bibles from the first response to this from the Why Won't God Heal Amputees blog:

I believe I have made my point.

Yes you did. You successfully made a complete fool of yourself.

I believe I have made my point. Please do not reply, I will not be answering any more questions. Merry Christmas and God bless America .

Einstein  said; "I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangements of the books, but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God."

Lol. Made your point. You lost, and now you're crawling away like a pathetic child. You have listed no sources. You have blatantly lied. You refuse to admit your failure, and would rather believe in a religion which advocates mass murder and the persecution of entire races of people. You are not worthy of the title human, you pathetic, sniveling bitch.

I find it amusing that the only thing the Christians have left on which to cling is some stuff people said a long time ago. It proves that there is no place for that crap in a progressive society.

In the meantime, this guy is a joke. He has no real thoughts or ideas of his own, and whether he knows it or not, all he is doing each time he makes a post is confirming that fact. Let him.

It's funny, because that last Einstein quote he posted actually had later clarification. Einstein went on to say that he is not a theist, but he could understand how simple-minded people would misinterpret the quote.

These are some other things he said.

A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man. (Albert Einstein)

I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it. (Albert Einstein, 1954)

I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings. (Albert Einstein)

Of course, what Einstein said on matters of religion, in support of either side, matters little in a real debate.

I've a feeling I've posted this before, but still. When Einstein was sixty seven he wrote what he called "Autobiographical Notes" about his early emotional and intellectual transition from religion to science:

Even when I was a fairly precocious young man the nothingness of the hopes and strivings which chases most men restlessly through life came to my consciousness with considerable vitality. Moreover, I soon discovered the cruelty of that chase, which in those years was much more carefully covered up by hypocrisy and glittering words than is the case today. By the mere existence of his stomach everyone was condemned to participate in that chase. Moreover, it was possible to satisfy the stomach by such participation, but not man in so far as he is a thinking and feeling being. As the first way out there was religion, which is implanted into every child by way of the traditional education-machine. Thus I came – despite the fact that I was the son of entirely irreligious (Jewish) parents – to a deep religiosity, which, however, found an abrupt ending at the age of 12. Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached the conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true. The consequence was a positively fanatic [orgy of] freethinking coupled with the impression that youth is intentionally being deceived by the state through lies; it was a crushing impression. Suspicion against every kind of authority grew out of this experience, a sceptical attitude towards the convictions which were alive in any specific social environment – an attitude which has never again left me, even though later on, because of a better insight into the casual connections, it has lost some of its original poignancy.

It is quite clear to me that the religious paradise of youth, which was thus lost, was a first attempt to free myself from the chains of the ‘merely personal,’ from an existence which is dominated by wishes, hopes and primitive feelings. Out yonder there was this huge world, which exists independently of us human beings and which stands before us like a great, eternal riddle, at least partially accessible to our inspections and thinking. The contemplation of this world beckoned like a liberation, and I soon noticed that many a man whom I had learned to esteem and to admire had found inner freedom and security in devoted occupation with it. The mental grasp of this extra-personal world within the frame of the given possibilities swam as highest aim half consciously and half unconsciously before my mind’s eye. Similarly motivated men of the present and of the past, as well as the insights which they had achieved, were the friends which could not be lost. The road to this paradise was not as comfortable and alluring as the road to the religious paradise; but it has proved itself as trustworthy, and I have never regretted having chosen it.

Clearly a xtian.
