Atheism in control would be bad
January 4, 2018 at 1:33 pm
I am not really arguing for "Religious foundamentlism" i am not really anti religious but i am against fundamentalism just due to what happens if a society has a totalitarian regime.
However, what i am saying is let society be realistic. Wanna know why i think its bad? Because i saw Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.
I dont know about you but this is nightmare material to me.

Here is the link to the plot on wikipedia if not i have some youtube links to explain it more. It would be a hedonistic nightmare.

That's strange...what with Brave New World being a thinly veiled satire of the dangers of religious thinking and social behavior in a dystopian future as proposed by a lifelong and committed humanist in Huxley......
Maybe you could elaborate?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I suspect elaboration is beyond this one's capabilities.

Secular societies tend to be the best in the world, though. You can't really base something off atheism itself, because all it means is not a theocracy. Secularism leads to freedom and equality, so it is in fact very good for the world

Saudi Arabia executes people up to this day. Vatican gave blessings to Nazis and used faith to declare war/holy crusade. Jehovah's witnesses gave millions people an idea that blood transfusion is a serious sin, which resulted in a lot of casualties, even among kids.
Atheists do same crazy shit. And?

Just to set some groundwork, what do you think atheism is, and what sort of beliefs/behaviors does it entail?

A book about a literary incarnation of the opiate of the masses and people think it's about how bad atheism is....somehow. Anyway, anyone else attending the solidarity service later this afternoon?
