The Doctor replied to Mike Decaro's discussion 'Is Athesim another form of Existentialism?'"From my limited knowledge of a broad subject, I think Atheism is an extension of existentialism in that it deals with looking at one's surroundings and applying healthy cynicism. I however, do not think all atheists are exestential any…"
Anthony Sparks replied to Mike Decaro's discussion 'Is Athesim another form of Existentialism?'"I concur. "
Dylan Sloboda replied to Mike Decaro's discussion 'Is Athesim another form of Existentialism?'"The term existentialism is also used to describe the branch of philosophy concerned with the fundamental nature of existence. In this sense, atheism would be described as materialism."
Christopher Robin replied to Mike Decaro's discussion 'Is Athesim another form of Existentialism?'"No, atheist is not another form of existentialism.
For those that think it is, please explain how atheism is another form of existentialism.

"I agree. I don't think children should get holidays for religious faiths, period. But all in all that's the least of my concerns with our school boards. But it does make me sigh.
Ps here in California the kiddies did not get that…"
Jewelz replied to Mike Decaro's discussion 'Rosh Hashanah School Holiday'"Education is certainly important, but I don't agree with your Rosh Hashanah conspiracy theory. Yesterday was a teacher planning day in many public school districts.
As for Christmas, I think of it as a generic cultural holiday and it…"
Mike Decaro posted a discussionRosh Hashanah School Holiday
Today is the start of Rosh Hashanah and my children are off of school here in south florida. I understand most holidays but why do our children have to miss out on there education because of a religious holiday (including christmas). My girls are not complaining but when i ask them why they have the day off they tell me its some jewish holiday. I as an atheist try to explain to them that this is an important day in the jewish faith and that they should learn about it since they are not in…See More
Mike Decaro replied to scLovely's discussion 'Atheists Should Leave America?'"Next time you visit that Gas Station ask him to find the words "God", "Lord" or "Jesus" in our nations Constitution. They are not there!!!!!! This country was not founded on the christian religion or any religion there…"
Laura Wiedel replied to Mike Decaro's discussion 'Tongues'"I spent a year living in Oklahoma and I worked with a girl who spoke in tongues at a Christian church. My friend's boyfriend (Oklahoma, again) also goes to a church where they speak in tongues. I was invited to attend a service and…"
Pope OoO (Out of Order) replied to Mike Decaro's discussion 'Tongues'"Yeah, "corrola toyota" sounds silly and funny--especially because it comes from fundies. So (imo), SIT theory has religious baggage that deters significant neuroscientific research. The fact that religion "discovered" SIT long…"
Sergio Saldana replied to Mike Decaro's discussion 'Tongues'"My mother speaks in tongues, she an Evangelical! It creeps me out personally. She use to be Catholic but things change and got worse. :("
Gregor Basić replied to Mike Decaro's discussion 'Tongues'"There were some crazy priests (this is maybe an urban legend) that closed of boys so that they could not see the sun and so that they could not hear anyone speak because they believed that they will start to speak but with one true language,…"
Loop Johnny replied to Mike Decaro's discussion 'Tongues'"I saw a video on Ytube and the first words someone said when he was speaking in tongues were "corrola toyota". It was in the highest rated comments.
Checkmate!"
Ava Wilson replied to Mike Decaro's discussion 'Tongues'"No. I went to church when I was a teen once and "spoke tongues", to see if I could, and did so effortlessly even though I'm an Atheist. Tongues theory debunked. Does not require belief in God or Jesus, it's proof of nothing…"
Pope OoO (Out of Order) replied to Mike Decaro's discussion 'Tongues'"I'll be posting to the older thread that Reg Perry has provided a link to (above)."
