Now the question is, how honest are you going to be with yourself?


Totally honest with myself AND with you Jav

You already know that I'm an atheist. Rather than hide in the shadows in order to avoid being morally flogged by christians like yourself who believe atheists have no moral compass and that they lack faith and have no belief system to back their atheism with ... I'm quite proud to say I'm an atheist. Being an atheist doesn't make me a bad person anymore than you being a Catholic makes you a good person. I'm me and you're you. I don't believe in a god or gods whereas you do.

Despite your comments above which appears in part to be re-hashed from your other D'Souza article ... atheism is NOT a belief system. Being an atheist doesn't mean that I need to have a belief system or to even have faith in a belief system. Being an atheist simply means that I am someone who disbelieves or denies the existence of a god or gods. Being an atheist doesn't mean that I need faith or a belief system in order to believe I'm an atheist ... I just AM an atheist. I don't have an earth shattering desire to find out where I came from or where I'm going ... I prefer to live for today and let tomorrow be what tomorrow will be. It's not how other atheists may live their lives ... but it's harmless. I'm not hurting anyone ... I'm not telling you that you're superior and smug for pushing your love for Catholicism ... I'm merely stating ... HONESTLY ... that being an atheist is not akin to being the devil's advocate. I don't believe in the devil or it's equivalent either.

But somehow an atheist can still formulate empirical evidence that a supernatural supreme being does not exist. “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof” seems to be the clarion call of atheists. Yet, when asked to do the same, atheists and secularists seem mostly preoccupied with venting their anger or indignant self-righteousness, arrogantly stereotyping religion as mindless superstition, and all religious people as drooling fundamentalists. This is wonderful for encouraging feelings of imaginary intellectual superiority and moral indignation, but it badly misrepresents religion as a whole, and does little to further their case. It is my personal opinion all this is done to hide the fact atheists are unable to provide empirical evidence a Supreme Being doesn’t exist.


I'm not out to prove that a god or gods don't exist ... I just don't believe they do. I've not seen any evidence to the contrary ... however a christian will tell me I'm angry and stupid because I won't accept that a christian bible is proof that god exists. To me it's just a book. Written by men ... interpreted and re-interpreted, translated and re-translated time and time again ... by other men. That's not me being intellectually superior or even arrogant ... it's just plain common sense to me.

The people who come across as being self-righteous, sanctimonious, arrogant, intellectually superior and preoccupied with pushing their own viewpoints ... are usually christians on a mission to prove they are right ... and I am the one in the wrong. Religion is not for everyone Jav. It's rather fun to discuss though isn't it!
