Happy End of Summer! Plus…

Some people seem scared of Atheism.
Atheism just means:
A = without
Theism = Belief in a god

What are the benefits of being an atheist?

  1. There is no leader.
  2. You don’t have to join. You just are.
  3. No holy sites you must visit.
  4. No payments to be made.
  5. No special clothing to wear.
  6. No special grooming required.
  7. You don’t have to hate anyone.
  8. No church to go to. ( so much free time, play games, study, or do chores, whatever you want )
  9. Don’t have to read a religious book. Although I would encourage anyone to read books, even the Bible. The Bible has some serious contradictory writing in it. When I ask religious people about something in their book, they don’t know about it. The pastor tells them what passage to read, so they never read all the contradictory stuff.
  10. No worry about a god striking you down. Do people seriously worry about that anyways?
  11. Being more open because a religion isn’t trying to make you fearful.
  12. Your mind is freed of superstition.
  13. Can believe in science, no one telling you not to believe in it.
  14. Not worried about the arts, no one telling you some kind of art is bad. I can decide that.
  15. added: We can eat anything we want.
  16. added: We can eat anytime we want. No fasting necessary.
  17. added: You can love who you want. No leader telling you who you can and cannot love.

Religion relies on fear to keep you in line.
Chris Hedges has written about this. He went to seminary school and is a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist.
I suppose less fearful and more open people gravitate to Atheism.
Christopher Hitchens was an interesting author you might want to check out.

What I am writing here is just my perspective. Not mean to hurt anyone's feelings.
I am not saying I dislike religious people. I would like religious people to stop trying to shove their religion on everyone else; I mean, making laws. Stop making laws based on your religion, please. ie. Separation of Church and State! And let go of your superstitions and fears!

I always tell people I'll believe one way or another when there's proof,
so I'll probably die an agnostic.

That's what I have in mind, and they just don't stop showing you the book! and every religion has one of their own, telling you that it is the proof.

But it's gonna stop to be a faith if you're gonna have a proof.

That's the point of faith, you believe in something even when you don't have proofs :P That's problem with religion, it's gonna cease to exist when we either advance enough that we will be able to explain every natural phenomena with science, or when we will find old dude with beard on some weird planet and accept that he's there.

I don't know if this forum is really the right place for this topic, not because it should be reserved for gaming, but because only a fraction of the userbase will even have interest in discussing something like this.

Singer, Enya, aptly described herself in an interview as a spiritual being, not a religious being... so I will leave it at that.

Thanks for the train!

Atheism has one major advantage: there are no terrorists shouting out "there's no god!" and doing boom! or crusades...
