PanAtheist's World View

Welcome back to the discussion that was unfolding in the To Our New Member: Biofreak topic in the Open Mic and General Chat section of the forums. Please refer to that topic before posting here. Thanx.

Besides god, what other beliefs are crazy nonsense?

[DMofD&D]

I'd say atheism and wicca.

[Another brick in the wall]

How is atheism crazy nonsense?

[DMofD&D]

Atheism means disbelief in god. It doesn't state disbelief of any other supernatural way that we came to exist. I feel that is unfair that it not include other absurd or unscientific ways of coming to exist. It makes sense, but it's crazy like.

[God, my arse]

Atheism does not mean disbelief in god it means disbelief in god, religion or supernatural beliefs.

[DMofD&D]

a·the·ist (th-st) n. One who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods.

[Another brick in the wall]

I think skeptic is a better label. Skepticism leaves room for changing your mind. Nonetheless, I consider myself an atheist.

[DMofD&D]

Atheism doesn't leave room for you to change your mind?

Hey, there is a thread about me! :-)
And it's about my world view!!!
Wow!!!!

PanAtheist's general world view is that we are *EXTRA-ORDINARILY* FORTUNATE TO BE ALIVE, and the only *honest* response to our existance is to celebrate it!

That said, Dungeon Master really had in mind my view on *that phenomena that is called "theism" and "religion", or as Biofreak so nicely puts it: "Godism"

And my view is very simple.

I don't believe it!!!!!!!!!!!
And, more to the point, I don't believe anyone believes it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And that really is my view!
(Albeit, expressed a little simply)

To be more accurate,
there are young kids who believe there is a man who delivers their Christmas presents during the night of Christmas Eve, and his name is "Santa" or "Father Christmas".

But as soon as everyone hears that he flies throught the sky on a sledge being pulled by flying reindeer, and scrambles down people's chimney's, and delivers presents to every child in the world in that one night - well they KNOW the lot of it is impossible and untrue.

And just so for God, and his silly creation and miracles and wacky stories and his killing-streak, and his eternal-torture-loving-heart.

Simply put, everyone knows it is all outrageously absurd and impossible and has-to-be-false.

No, "theists" are people of dis-integrity.

Every one of them knows better.

{PanAtheist is a little busy right now, and has to presently leave further elaboration on the mentality of "theists" and the phenomena of "theism" to the readers' imaginations.}

But he will say this: "Atheists"-who-"think"-of-"theists"-as-believers, are themselves being just as crazy.

that theist who blasted us about not letting bio experience church before he learns about reality never gave me a response... typical (drunk - dont try that until your much older bio, its not worth it)

[Biofreak]

Don't worry about it. Dad once let have a small sip of beer. eeeeeEEEEEEeeeeeww. How can you put that stuff down!?

[GodlessHeathen]

Beer is kind of an acquired taste.

[DMofD&D]

Yeah. I'm still not used to it. Anyway, PanAtheist, you state that theists aren't really theists. Please elaborate.
