The summer after my first year in college, I had an internship at NIH (NIMH specifically). In the hallway outside the lab was the refrigerator where they kept the brains. I had two duties that summer: make and run western blots and decapitate live rats with a manually operated guillotine and extract their brains, kidneys and livers.




Western blots sound fun...

...western blots sound fun.  :cantwashthataway:




They were not. We had some problem with the actual chemicals used to make them, and they kept failing overnight. It was the guy who ran the labs fault, He made the stock solution wrong, but we didn't figure that out for weeks and me and the other intern took most of the blame in the interim. The guy was one of the worlds top hematologists and I can't remember his fucking name, all I remember was that he was a complete asshole.

This may be the first thread I've ever skimmed. I generally will read threads and not post in them. The few things I have read here though have been hilarious.

So having little knowledge at this moment where exactly this conversation is...

A reason I identify as an agnostic and not an atheist, even while taking the passive approach, and also know that I'm on the downslope of a very interesting night with mxe, is this... Wtf do you know? Wtf do any of us know? Do you really take yourself so seriously as to deny Anything At All? Maybe we are the second evolution of humans. Maybe we figured out space exploration a billion years ago, left behind the seeds of survival and our mother race is observing from afar. Maybe the big bang was the result of the one and only question an omnipotent god could have - Can I destroy myself - and reality is just the answer to that question, the debris culminating into a giant resounding No. Why would anyone take the anti stance and actually believe themselves to be open minded? I'm not saying I believe in any particular delusion, but I love to entertain the big question. And I'm not so sure of myself or anyone else to believe in any definitelys or definitely nots

Atheists don't "believe" in things because it's nice.

Not believing something because there is no evidence or even logic behind it is fine. Atheists don't deny a y possibility beyond that of scientific evidence. ..they just don't go about "believing in any old bollocks because it sounds good"

Would you believe that the future holds the REAL truth for many of our current beliefs?

I do. The future obtains limitless opportunity.

Every developing human being seeks truth, but the mind chooses to believe.

Check the first couple pages of this thread. You say I misunderstand atheism, along with many people. What makes you think those many people are wrong? Again, go back to the beginning. Many sources define atheism as a positive denial of deities. Show me a source that definitely states that this is incorrect.

Discussions involving atheism always seem to have this problem with what the correct definition of the term is.






copied from wikipedia; A diagram showing the relationship between the definitions of weak/strong and implicit/explicit atheism.



Explicit positive/strong/hard atheists (in purple on the right) assert that "at least one deity exists" is a false statement.
Explicit negative/weak/soft atheists (in blue on the right) reject or eschew belief that any deities exist without actually asserting that "at least one deity exists" is a false statement.
Implicit negative/weak/soft atheists (in blue on the left) would include people (also some agnostics) who do not believe in a deity, but have not explicitly rejected such belief.

Fuck the dictionary. Atheists do not say god does not exist. WE HAVE NO POSITION ON GODS. We dont want to talk about god because the existence of god is baseless claim. We would like to not give a shit about other people's magical made up entities, but they force us to talk about them. Atheist is a thing only because there are powerful adults in the world that have imaginary friends.

Do you understand that the idea of god is a fabrication of the human mind.? He is imaginary. Atheists deny that the made up god of the bible exists, but there may be REAL god somewhere.

One more attempt to get the point across

Until God leaves evidence to the contrary, he is a FICTIONAL character.

Well, if truth were so obvious, why wouldn't the great minds of shroomery agree on concepts of higher order in this universe? So many contrasting views on this thread.

I said that to demonstrate that the present will never hold all the answers; not during the birth of nihilism and probably not in the near future.

What I take from that is...have fun with life and enjoy the ride, cuz that's all you got :heart: and respect OTHER's beliefs, cuz that's all THEY got.

atheism has no centralized dogma--there is no unified 'we' that you can claim represents all atheists--some lack belief in a deity, others hold the belief that no deity exists--both fit under the umbrella of atheist

:sorry:
