Due to the vast number of self-contradictory statements I have heard during my time in the internet conversing with atheists, I have come to an empirical realization:










Most atheists are left brained only. Which explains why they can't see a pattern in actions and events. This is a skill from the right brain which, if missing, causes them to contradict themselves and not even notice it.











This right-brain skill, of course, is of utmost importance in order to see a divine pattern in the world. Hence the atheism.













Poor people

Yes, seeing something that isn't there is definitely a 'skill' shared by the faithful. Don't sweat it though, humans are meaning seekers, we look for meaning through patterns and associations. Most just aren't able to get past the whole correlation doesn't equal causation argument. Most people don't understand statistics and probability. Most people don't understand the nature of memory and the manner in which it's constructed by our worldview. So, people really only see the world through their own eyes, unable to step outside themselves and be objective. The end result is a whole lot of goofy beliefs.

Lol.

Don't be sour because your parents brought you up believing in fairies and leprechauns. Break out of that silly, superstitious worldview.

Do some learning.

what if i believed music was a form of spirituality and that great artists channel a higher power, regardless of whether they are atheists or not.

it's not silly or superstitious to appreciate music, but one's rationalization could be considered as such by people with little appreciation of spirituality at all.

and one can see this best by which religions and nations choose the law of Hamurabi or modern English law with regard to the rights of others.

however, atheism is still a subset of religion because in declaring there is no God, one must first assume that there is a God, but rationalize Him away through the magical thinking of logic.

Yes mr_bryan_w, your post does agree with what DA said.














Atheism is a religion of denial and naysay...













A religion of "no I don't wanna 'cause I'm a little whiny girl who knows what's right and wrong and no one will tell me otherwise" kind of mentality

Actually, I'd argue that religion is more egocentric because it puts some sort of divine value on humanity and excludes non-believers.

He also clearly has no idea how the brain works.

all religions do that? don't get me wrong, i think it's kind of cute how you are an adult and STILL trying to rebel against your christian parents... but really...

Yeah Buddhism is pretty good.













Too bad Buddhists are being imprisoned, tortured, or killed by good-intentioned Chinese atheists telling them not to believe as much

Generally atheists are egocentric, I-can't-be-wrong anal robots
