Atheist Life

tags: , ,

Being an atheist, you believe that this is the only life, and live it to the fullest. Atheists and skeptics lack proof and evidence of certain deities and spiritual beliefs. So there is no intent for us to harshly bash other religions and forms, for we humbly have our own perspectives in life.

If you however think that atheists are a threat to the general community, first take a look at the mirror. Millions of people have died just because of religion, "religious" wars, and rejection due to contradictory beliefs.

"Skeptic does not mean him who doubts, but him who investigates or researches as opposed to him who asserts and thinks that he has found." [Miguel de Unamuno, "Essays and Soliloquies," 1924]

Furthermore, it's not that the public should follow what celebrities are doing. But instead to keep in mind that this is a free world, and we have our own chosen paths, no matter what people/critics spit out from their ignorant mouths. Hence, this is partly what the video is trying to point out.

Truly there is no end to the vapid inanity the HuffPo Religion section will post. Our latest example comes from David Lose, in an essay titled, “Has Atheism Become a Religion?” Want to take bets on whether the answer is “No”? I don't recall who first said it, but it has been wisely noted that if…

One of the few (valid) reasons that the godless poo-poo the delusional is that religion is dangerous. Look around - so many want to "save" you - mormons, jehovah's witless, seventh day adventists, scientologists - the list is long. Each religion has its own demented view of the world. If religious people would simply leave others alone then the godless would have nothing to complain about. However, religion is a social cancer which spreads uncontrolled and rots society; education and those horrible godless people are the only things which can keep the myriad delusions at bay.
