Many things have happened since my last post. The growth of my non religious mind being first and foremost. Its quite amazing how quickly the mind becomes deprogrammed once a perosn opens themselves up to the possibilities. I can even say that I myslef have been guilty of continuing myths and legends just by the everyday words that I speak. A God bless you here or a exclamation of "Jesus" there. One never realizes these things until one has awakened from the mind numbing propaganda of God that constantly rears its ugly head in our society. This makes me very sad and very angry. I recently dove into the book, "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins. Which by the way, thank you Richard for your rich comical writing style! Anywho, I have just reached the chapter on morality and not a moment to soon. Let me expalin
Recently I joined a martial arts school. Towards the end of training the instructor started reading an email about ethics, moral and values. The email had a definitive religious undertone. So after class I approached the instructor about some of the things he talked about. He was quick to state that he was a Roman Catholic. I was quick to state that I was an Atheist, (we don't want to give people the wrong idea do we?). The next words that came out of his mouth were quite shocking and comical. "Religion is the start of morality. Its because of religion that morals and ethics exist." Yes, yes at this point the Crusades, the witch burnings and burnings of books like Tom Sawyer and the Koran quickly leaped to my mind. With a quick lick of my lips to hide the part smile, part grimace that was bound to appear on my face I replied, "Really. You think so? That's funny because I heard a great theory of morality coming before religion (once again thanks Richard). You know I have a great book you should read called The God Delusion." He sadly shook his head and said, "No thank you. I find books written by Atheists boring. Besides, there's nothing that it can tell me that I don't already know. God is the truth and the only answer." I was shocked and appalled! My gaze went directly to the one Buddhist in the class. He lowered his head and moved on. The instructors next words clinched my sadness for the ignorant person standing before me. "You know, I don't get u Atheists. Always looking to destroy God. I feel bad for you." This time a smile did explode on my face and with a wink I replied, " yeah, I know. Well thank you for the lesson. I've gotta hop on my unicorn and get to Mt. Olympus. See you next week!" The look on his face was priceless!
Do not talk myths for fact. Educate yourselves and be prepared to educate others. Avanti!

"Many things have happened since my last post. The growth of my non religious mind being first and foremost."
ReplyDeletesorry the growth of your mind is one thing that has not happened to you. You are unread, unlearned, you have no concept of argumentation and your ignorant. the comments you made on my blog show not only real stupidity but illiteracy in the field of religious studies.
You don't understand burden or proof. you don't know what makes an argument circular, and you don't know anything about religious experience. Are you in middle school?
"Its quite amazing how quickly the mind becomes deprogrammed once a perosn opens themselves up to the possibilities."
It's amazing how quickly you given in to atheist brain washing. are you lonely? You have no friends, you need an identity need a group to join, and you hate God because you hate yourself?
that translates into hating religious people, you can't admit God exists so you can't say you hate God (which is stupid becuase one can hate the idea of things even if they don't exist--atheists are too dumb to know that).
"I can even say that I myslef have been guilty of continuing myths and legends just by the everyday words that I speak."
you obviously don't know jack shit about myths. myths are not lies and they are not stupid. They are literary truth. you are too dense to know what that is.
"A God bless you here or a exclamation of "Jesus" there. One never realizes these things until one has awakened from the mind numbing propaganda of God that constantly rears its ugly head in our society."
atheism is propaganda. they don't understand science (I am not a creationst so don't think that's what I mean--I mean they don't know shit about science). There is no big fortress of facts. that's not scinece works. atheism is not proved by a fortress of facts. you can't expect pile up scientific facts and add them to disprove God.
atheism is just as much a product of propaganda as is fundamentalism.
"This makes me very sad and very angry.'
aw, specially because you stupid to think your way out of a movement that thrives on keeping you illiterate and stupid. that's what atheism does. it says "don't learn about theology, theology is tupid! don't read theolgoians, just take our word for it. we know what they say so we will steer you right." Then they have the gaul to say "this is being a free thinker."
you aer a slave thinker. I can not only prove Gdo exist but I can't prove that you don't know this stuff and you haven't really thought about it. I can show you that if you are willing to listen. I'm sure you are not becuase you are guided by psychological motives not reason.
If you were willing to listen to I could show you but you are not interested in truth. you are interested in venting your anger.
atheists want you to be sad and angry becuase that's the only social cement that keeps you under their thumb.

that's a super stupid book. It's easily disproved. try reading some actual criticisms of Dawkins. Read some of the debates he' had. he get's his ass kicked every time.
He is not a major scientist. he has not contributed a major discovery to scinece. He's a popularizer.
I put your comment to my blog on the main blog post and answered it.
