Poll: Do You Believe in Socialism?

Started this discussion. Last reply by JC Hamner May 30, 2011. 42 Replies 0 Likes

Lately, I've been realizing I'm a rare specimen among the atheist community... I'm against socialism. There, I said it. And no, I will not meet you at the swing set after school. I've spoken with a…Continue

I Just Need to Know, Why are YOU here?

Started this discussion. Last reply by Mo Trauen Jan 5, 2011. 49 Replies 0 Likes

For the better part of my life, I've realized I was an atheist. I didn't know the term, but I always knew I didn't believe in god, or the idiocy I read in the bible. Now, I don't know about the…Continue

'Crossing yourself'

Started this discussion. Last reply by Christopher McGuire Jun 27, 2010. 6 Replies 0 Likes

I just noticed something, and it kind of makes me wonder... I know I have a long neck and whatnot, but it still seems that this idea of 'crossing yourself' ends up forming an upside-down cross on…Continue

Is School Out for Most Atheists?

Started this discussion. Last reply by Belle Rose Jan 21, 2014. 61 Replies 1 Like

I know what led me here, and I also know that my original premise was faulty. I came here (atheism) straight out of Christianity. I hadn't, at that point, read any other religious texts. I just went…Continue

"The thing is with altruism is, it works ("with social selection against cheaters") at least on a small scale. "We do right for love of self" to paraphrase a Buddhist. But on a large scale, this individual effect can…"

Pope Beanie replied to Christopher McGuire's discussion 'Is School Out for Most Atheists?'

"That looks like a pretty good article, thank you. It starts out with the paragraph, below. Perhaps altruism is a realistic goal that can be encultured, even if it's not genetically instantiated... as long as it doesn't get too Borgy!"

"Religion is an interesting phenomenon, when you step outside of it and study how it affects people. I've personally found some critical study of the bible to be interesting. As far as value of studying other religions. Is the point to see…"

Dennis Augustine replied to Christopher McGuire's discussion 'Is School Out for Most Atheists?'

"Religion is one of the most powerful forces in our world and may well contribute a world war if left unchecked. To stay ignorant of it is... ignorant. No, you don't have to be an expert but to say it doesn't matter is stupid."

Sheri S replied to Christopher McGuire's discussion 'Is School Out for Most Atheists?'

"I agree that you don't need to have a thorough understanding of other religions to know what you believe. Belief is personal. The only duty you have to your belief is to seek out evidence for the validity of what you believe. Just like your…"

"kk - right now we have nothing that is anywhere near as effective as praying to Jesus. It would be good if we could put something in place to do that job. What it might look like, I've got no idea. "

"""who cares" what the actual mechanism is" - actually, this is a very important point. This is very interesting and just what we need to know about. We need to observe what is happening in the field; in nature. "

Kir Komrik replied to Christopher McGuire's discussion 'Is School Out for Most Atheists?'

If I'm going to be from the devil I am going to be as damned as I can be! [Hence the fallen angel thing] lol. Anyhow... how have you been?

I am really considering taking the anti religious stickers off because I am getting too old to kick someone's ass anymore...but I would probably find a way to fuck them up!

Peace,

Becky
