yup, like a galaxy 10^9 ly away is to my brother. But they are there. For me, personal and political need are a distant second to describing how the universe works to the best of our ability at any given time. In political forums, yeah, sure, anti-christian, anti-muslum, anti-jewish...

Do Ideas exist? Do we exist? We dismantle us piece by piece. lol, that sounds funny. We study those pieces in great detail. Neither do we find. Does that that mean we do not exist? There are many levels and rows here, but lets just focus on the big picture. I call it fundy-think. I am not...

Assumption.: if God exists, then God is omnipotent, omniscient, and morally perfect. I made this same same mistake. Then I realized that the events we see around determine the traits of the thing. Like the events we see determine everything else we describe. lol, within the confines of a...

I kind of agree. About the only thing I try and do is put all the traits of humans. We do love and we do hate. We do enable and we do ignore. For me its not weather or not we are part of a larger more complex system that may be alive (key word: may). Its the traits some religions assign to...

I think people intentionally try to sway people to believing that its religous god or no belief. That just is not the case. Its really the traits/events of a god that define the god. The belief in "Something more" matches observation better. Appealing to "practical" and "Personal" lines of...

I don't know why more theist just don't come out and say, "Yeah, god did it through evolution."

Changing? Most people understand a belief in something more seems to match observation better. No god or gods of any type and my god only rely on way too much faith. Only if people understood that belief and anti-religion are not mutually exclusive. But the leaders of atheism and theism do...

Most atheist believe in something more. It just matches observation better. At least far better than a deity or no god or gods of any type anyway. To me that is. So if commonsense makes us Scrooged ... then bring on the ghost of hot girls.

Man appeared and said "wtf?" The universe answered with a book. Pretty much nails the questions of what we are to me. The smartest ape to date. If that's magic, then the universe is magical.

Look at how russia, or any country, skews the story. Russia is the savior of Europe. Then that leads us to a godlike figure as heading the storyline. Poof ... Allah be praised. Peace upon him and death to the rest of us.

We can compare what we do not know to what we do know. Detailed? how detailed? for most of us a simple high school text book of "life" is good enough. All people make up stuff (Philosophy) to self justify themselves. Some us just say "Hey, lets use what we know to self justify ourselves."...

agreed. They are religion-ist mind sets. Some of us atheist have blind faith. We can't think past what we are told or what happened to us. We can't strike the offender so we strike everything to do with the offender. The shame is the some of us stand around and let them reek havoc. But...

thats funny. sometimes its the questions we ask ...

For me, its really isn't not believers vs non believers. Heck, most people believe in something more. It really is irrational (atheist/theist) vs rational.

I think most atheist believe in something more. It just isn't a deity.
