"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”

― Marcus Aurelius




Ex-fucking-actly. If there is a God and he gave me this brain why would he punish me for using it? It doesn't make any sense. Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumbbbb dumb.

There is nothing at the heart of that definition of atheism besides the denial of the existence of God or gods... I'm not sure why you feel ad hominems are at the heart of atheism. :shrug:

So when somebody tells you God is everywhere, are you assuming that what they are saying should be taken as Gospel truth, or are you assuming that humans are flawed creatures with a necessarily forgivable incomprehension of the grand schema of the universe?


I definitely don't assume the former, and I somewhat assume the latter... what's your point?

I'm pretty sure that people are full of shit when they say that God is everywhere, regardless of how forgivable their incomprehension of reality is; if anything, their incomprehension makes it all the more more silly that they make such claims of certitude, and makes me all the less likely to believe them.

I wouldn't think much of it really, but I don't see what point you're trying to make here.




God is subjective. Happiness and grief are subjective, too.


God supposedly exists in the objective world, not just inside of human skulls; he supposedly exists objectively, as well as subjectively.

If you can't see the value in the willingness of others to take happiness and grief at face value, I officially do not know what I'm arguing for anymore.


I don't really know what you're going on about here... am I showing that I don't see the value in the willingness of others to take happiness and grief at face value? If so, where did I show this? :confused:

It's one thing to simply enjoy a style of life that one enjoys, but it's another thing altogether to refer to another person's choice as "wrong" or to rationalize their behavior as being pathological or resulting from some sort of inadequacy or failing so as to create a sense of superiority or separation as yet another projection of a personal fear or control issue.

I honestly have a hard time seeing the line between "passive atheism" and "agnosticism." To set the record straight, when I refer to atheism, I am referring to a denial of the existence of God or gods. I do not see how passive atheism or agnosticism are different, and  if you call yourself an atheist there is a passive denial taking place. If you're trying not to shit on the beliefs of others, then call yourself an agnostic for fuck's sake.

Props to the professor.  Religion = anti-intellectualism.  Religion = spiritual forfeit. 

Plus the guy was not a student of the school, so I'm pretty sure he can't just show up on campus and spew his brainwash.
