Extreme aitheism sounds like that prat dawkings, he said and i quote "it takes religion for good men to do evil things" I say it takes corupt leaders twisting the teachings for there own gain for good men to do evil things, Religion didn't cause problems, people did. Still I don't believe or disbelieve that god exists and if anything I'm a buddhist, I belive in reincarnation, and I like how buddhism is about improving one's self, that said if I am reincarnated as a "lesser creature", I'd like to be reborn as a sea otter if any thing, not sure why but I like sea otters, I think they live amazing lives.

richard dawkins is one of the leading lights of new atheism. he's also a grade a++++ cunt

got a shout out in metal gear solid though

people who support and vote for ron paul are insufferable morons so cocksure that the market will fix everything. if they were just nihilists and didn't pretend to give a fuck about anything and just wanted to be harbingers of collapse and misery I might almost admire it but instead they just want to worship a golden idol

religious texts are so open to interperetation that the only difference between doing that and just making up your own bullshit religion is that you have an actual piece of paper to go off of. So really, judging anyone on what religious texts they reference without further study is wrong on every level. Just ask a couple questions and wait a couple seconds and you'll either hear enough to not have to be worried or know for sure that the person you are talking to is a completely delusional jackass.
 
 
I'm pretty much with konix on religion. I quit caring but I took enough psychadelics, have nearly died a couple times, and have had some really unusually coincidental shit keep happening enough for me to consider that there might be more to it then just nothingness.
 
I think the closest I've seen in media to my interperetation of god is the movie "the nines" that movie is so friggen awesome.

I got a couple of Richard Dawkins' books. He's a clearly intelligent man, writes in a nice poetic sense of english and does have some very good points to make, however he does randomly descend into angry rants at the drop of a hat. And it really gets in the way, especially in 'The greatest show on earth'. It is a good biology book, explaining in excellent detail about the evidence for evolution and how it's absurd not to believe it in the face of all this. However he could have left it at that, and it would have been a fantastic enjoyable book full of wonders and the magic of life. Instead it veers off far too often into rant-mode and can't help kicking religion at every opportunity, to the point where it actually distracts from the feel of the text, and greatly reduces the book.

In The God Dellusion, it's clear he knows a great deal about religious texts, and it really does cut in deep, showing it's flaws. However large parts of the book do go into just visious attacks and conjecture, and a strong sense of patronising those who believe. It makes some very very good points, but again his vendetta does diminish those points and it does become annoying. It could have simply been a critical text about religion, but becomes a rant. Sure nowhere near as ranting as the preachers he's been up against, but still annoying.

Also the quote 'it takes good people to do good things, bad people to do bad things, but it takes religion for good people to do bad things' was by someone else. I cant remember who, but I have the feeling it was someone during the enlightenment. Many of America's founding fathers were deeply anti-religious, which is ironic conscidering that the majority of the population seem to like the idea of a christian theocracy. Dawkins kinda adopted it.

I enjoy reading science books, physics and biology and such, so I'm prettymuch an athiest due to the overwhelming lack of scienitfic evidence. I'm not 100% certain, but then nobody really is. The universe is such a magical and wonderous place, and the idea of a god somewhat cheapens it for me. I agree with many buddhist philosophies and ideals, and also the concept of a higher level of consciousness to an extent. I do think that the strong arm tactics of the new athiest movement is it's downfall and damage the good points it can make. For a left-wing intillectualist movement, they sure seem authoritarian.

i'm pretty anti-religious

instead of reading my shitty post in your shitty home you're instead sitting atop a pile of gold coins having an orgy with everyone you've always wanted to fuck and you're the king of the world. this is science.

uh yeah, i'm doing both, ever heard of an ipad?

(actually im watching felix the cat on a kindle but close enough)

somewhere out there is an alternate parallel universe where carl sagan is still alive, seth mcfarlane died on 9/11 like he should have, and i don't have to light anyone on fire because we never had this disagreement

Somewhere there is a universe where Carl Sagan is god.

has anyone seen this guy yet?

He's a dude dressed up like a wizard running a joke campaign for the democratic party. Its pretty hilarious. I think thats what we need. A flood of candidates like this telling both parties that they're long running game is a complete fucking joke and we don't care anymore.
