This is one way to come to atheism. Using logic and reason can lead to looking at god claims from a critical perspective and arrive to the conclusion that the claims of theists hold no water.

But by no means is logic and reasoning a "tenet" of atheism. There are plenty of dumb ass atheists out there have never seen the inside of a classroom they took seriously. Just check Facebook for confirmation.

(January 23, 2015 at 1:19 pm)Former Humanist Wrote: If these things i listed are found in the brain, then where in the brain is the mind found , what part of the brain do we find a thought ? And if part of the brain is missing as the result of a tragic accident yet the person survives , then is the Occupant less of a Person therefore ? We still consider him a full Person don't we ? There is something more to a Human Being than just a compilation of atoms slung together over millions of years and if we are in fact 'just atoms' then why should we believe what anyone says since they would have arrived upon it by accident and from atoms which are untrustworthy ? Humans are made up , it seems, of intrinsic capacity toward logic, reason, deducing, deciphering, et al.

You keep making these bare assertions. "There is something more to a Human Being," or "Atoms are untrustworthy," or "instrinsic capacity."

We are stretching the limits here of what we can do in an introduction thread. Would you make a thread in the proper forum and lay out these claims with why you believe them to be true?


I agree with you. We've gotton a bit off topic . Someone asked me some questions and I elaborated too much on the answers.

Man cant infuse the Robot with Mans consciousness...yet we as Human Being have been endowed with this entity called consciousness. How come ? Why ? Why aren't we robotic if accidental compilations of atoms are our cause ? Seems like we should be if Materialism is to be believed.

What makes you think we've been "endowed" with anything?

What do you guys say? Should I earn him the posthumous "You Tried"® seal of disapproval?
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
