I'm curious what people here think about Reconstructionist Judaism. Do you feel that it is a religion or that it's closer to atheism. For those who do not know what it is, here are two good links.…Continue

Robert Karp commented on Raven's blog post 'Living life with a crutch'"I think it depends on how these conversations happen. There has been debate on TA about being an atheist preacher and when does it cross the line. I've personally had a problem with many prominent atheists and how they portray a "holier…"
Jeremy Lester commented on Raven's blog post 'Living life with a crutch'"I don't worry about it at al. I've lost 10+ friends on Facebok over the last week or two for posting Atheists quotes, etc and even had 2 family members decide to make personal attacks based on what i posted. Know what i say.. screw em, all…"
Rick commented on Raven's blog post 'Living life with a crutch'"James hit it on the head. Some people can be overly sensitive without just cause. They’re going to get offended no matter how carefully you craft your speech. I wouldn’t worry about it. You can’t please everyone. It sucks to…"
Cognizant Psyche commented on Raven's blog post 'Living life with a crutch'"Religion and Politics, two things that should not be discussed unless you are ready for the possibility of either getting in a fight/argument or losing friends lol. The only time I bring up my views is if I am asked or evangelized to, then the…"
James commented on Raven's blog post 'Living life with a crutch'"I would ask him (assuming he does) why he might tell a believer of another faith that they are following the wrong one. By what he's saying to you, he should just butt out and not mention his religion to anyone who believes differently. We…"
Steve commented on Raven's blog post 'Living life with a crutch'"Depends on who you're talking to. When hanging out with friends or co-workers it's really better to not discuss religion. But strangers on the internet for example are fair game"
dataguy commented on Raven's blog post 'Living life with a crutch'"I had this issue and still struggle with it from time to time. Probably what helped me the most when a closet-Atheist friend of mine told me there are two rules:
1. The is no god.
2. People need to believe in something.
As an Atheist / Humanist,…"
Raven posted a blog postLiving life with a crutch
Someone who I considered a good friend basically said that I can offend people for pointing out their religion is a delusion (my words) and that I can hurt people's feelings.

Raven replied to Sassan K.'s discussion 'Do you have to marry an atheist??'"I wouldn't care if I marry someone who's religious but my children will be raised with no religion and will never go to any type of religious schooling."
Profile Information
- Your Religious Status
- Atheist, Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic
- About Me:
- I was the one who never really believed. I was the one who kept telling myself that there was something wrong with me. That once my Bat Mitzvah happened I would "see the light" and all my doubts about my religion would disappear and I would really believe in god. When that (obviously) didn't happen I became agnostic. I was interested in eastern religions for a while because at that point I still felt like I needed to be some religion. In high school I finally started to accept that all religion was total bullshit and now I am completely atheist, although I still believe we can never truly know.

I was reading an article about science education in the United State and read some statistics that really surprised me.
18% of American adults believe the sun revolves around the earth and 3% are unsure.
32% of American adults believe astrology is either "very scientific" or "sort of scientific".
28% of science teachers stick to National Research Council guidelines when teaching evolution.
13% of teachers "explicitly advocate…

I stumbled upon this very interesting math lecture. It's an hour long but worth your time if you're interested in math/physics.

What do atheists do in court?
Posted on May 6, 2011 at 12:05am 12 Comments 1 Like
So people swear on the bible in court (or whatever religious text they want), but does anyone know what atheists do? I mean if I was ever in that situation and they told me to swear on some religious text I'd probably just laugh at them. Has anyone had experience with this?

Scott said… - Thanks for the comment. In response to your question ("What's it like to believe like that?"): It is truly devastating to believe something so passionately and then realize it's all bullshit. To love someone that doesn't even exist! It is truly frightening how much religion can sabotage your mind and your ability to think for yourself. Words can't even describe it.
