Atheism - the big lie?
The Internet translation of the Bible is somewhat different. In
Holysmoke and the like god created the heavens and the earth (and cancer
and murdered his only son).
Here there is no god. This is the atheism echo.
You must have a deep spiritual longing to be an atheist, or you wouldn't
have checked in here. Congratulations.

Your definition
Goddess, if only that were true!
An atheist is one who wishes those who are not free of religion
would leave alone those who are.

I'll post specifics in an appropreate echo, such as HOLYSMOKE,
if you yell for it.
Thank no god for small miracles!

you mean, you think that there isn't one consciousness for everybody?
or do you think that one consciousness doesn't represent everybody?
explain your god, what does your god do, and what is his capacity, tell
me
if he's eternal and if he promises you heaven and hell, i have trouble
grasping your concept of god, and your concept of atheism, how can one
reject _their_ "god" when it is only one's inner personal spirit? and what
do you mean by
Re: SNEEZE AT LIGHT
There are a lot of nerves in the average head. Some of them pass close
to others. In some people, inappropriate connections happen by accident
(another example of this is "jaw-winking" which happens when some motor
nerve connections get stuffed up. These people wink as they chew. This
can be quite embarrassing.
I would think it's more likely to be at the retinal layer, that is, your
retina adapts to far bigger light changes than your pupil can. Pupil

You definition
by
that's one heckuva sentence you wrote there whew!
so we agree "belief" has many meanings.
but gods, like Isis, Zeus and Shiva do "exist"
in ways even to us "non-believers", much the same way
that fictional characters, like Sherlock Holmes and
Indiana Jones exist.
personally, i don't believe that Jesus/Yhwh exists,
but that's not a denial of its presence it's a
statement of the reality i live in and live with.
for all i know or
nonsense again - you sai
no need to get anything, i already am quite real (i think).
regardless of who proposes "moments of slience,"
as long as it is what they say it is, i see no reason to oppose it.
simply because some religious groups are in favor of a proposal
should not cause a knee-jerk response of opposition from atheists.
and there's the pity. i think a lot more bridges could be built between
atheists and theists if atheists were to support it
RCC?
A similar ruling was just made here in Ontario. The Jewish special
interest group that was trying to get their schools funded was just
denied that right by the Provincial Supreme Court.
On the other hand, the Catholic schools in Ontario _are_ funded by the
government. I'm not sure how this is justified.
Tax the religion industry in all its forms!

I hope you are not implying that A.S. Le Vay _is_ an atheist?
The only way I could accept that is if he claimed to be starting a
Satanist church to irritate the fundies and disrupt the hold of the
major religions on the other institutions in the country. If he
believes any Satanist stuff he is a nut in my book. Satan is just a
minor god the pseudo-monotheistic pantheon of the Christians.
Re: RCC?
it was their push and their legislators.
doubtless.
yep. an official, paid, annual, bank is closed, holiday.
i'm in favor of paid holidays, btw. i see no reason for them to be
religiously driven however.
this on top of the castigation of Forced Gestation Advocates in the 36
foot buffer zone case here in Brevard County was kinda refreshing.

Re: Re: Teen athiests
arguing with the Moderator is fruitless and even stupid.
we don't do god[s], here, means we don't do god[s], here.
don't debate them. don't mention them. it's quite simple.

Re: echo guidelines
what's to 'understand'?
if you want to post information about separation issues, please do.
if you want to post information about atheist issues, please do.
if you want to debate whether separation is valid or what constitutes an
atheist, please don't do it here. this isn't a debate Echo. such debates
go nowhere, serve no one, and prove nothing. they add noise and heat and
no light. they are not permitted.
in this Echo the separation of state and church
Re: No Beliefs
the name of this Echo is A_THEIST. the Sysop from whom you receive may
have it mismarked but if your system is tossing it locally, you must
have the tag set as above.
the lack of belief is not the same as disbelief. disbelief requires an
effort. the lack of belief requires nothing at all.
please don't start another definition thread.
thanks.
