Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell  Popcorn

Oh yes, and anyone who makes really good logical points, or doesn't agree with your misguided notions about what science can and can't prove is immediately called a troll. How dare they be so much smarter than you are?

I KNOW my god is real, and he told me there is no afterlife.  If you can appeal to personal experience for your certainty, so can I.  I’m right, and you’re wrong.

(In case you are still missing my glaring point, I’m giving you your own argument back to you. How does it sound?  I’m guessing, pretty shitty.)

Being religious and having a belief in God or a higher power are not considered the same thing by most people. I am not religious, for example.


I'll bet you fooled more than me.  I guess you could call a potential god arising in consciousness a 'higher' power, but if you have a handle on what you believe which permits you not to hold it literally, do you think it is a good thing that so many other believers believe in something kind of out there?  I mean, maybe as atheists we are apt to be too reflexively dismissive, but is believing that obedience to an all powerful all knowing judging god is the true meaning of existence really all that uplifting?

I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about believers.

I suspect that not all believers subscribe to all of the tenets that you posted, so saying "our beliefs are all very similar" is hyperbole.

Calling our lack of belief "a misguided delusion that you have all created for yourselves" is vile bullshit. I did not choose to be a non-believer, but when I read pretentious pseudo-mind-reading crap like that, it comes as a relief that I don't believe.
