  Defending outspoken atheism

  by serotonin_wraith in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well vinny and probably some others have come to wonder about the purpose of outspoken atheism, especially when it is presented in a rude manner.

  here's my thoughts on the matter.. many of us here will have relatives who are jehovah's witnesses.

  we want them to escape from that cult.

  A rude and condescending atheist is no better than a rude and haughty bible thumper! Both have an unwarranted superiority complex. carmel

  On the contrary, evolution via natural selection does not address the "need" for or against a god. carmel

  Enviroligionism--we could all be wearing burkas, purple dots etc...

  my word for it.

  isn't our environment the #1 factor in our religious beliefs?

  this insanity of the 6 million jw's all uniquely having hit the truth lottery is making me sick.

  That's why I beleive the 20th/21st centuries are truely remarkable. As civilization advances, people of all nations are becoming aware of this converging reality, that what we have thought to be a lock on "truth" and religious reality is infact being called to account. The ease with which we can now become aware of the claims of other faiths, the ability to understand what we have in common and what divides us is a thrilling development. Cell phones, text messaging and the world wide web will be the salvation of humanity allowing virtually everyone to seek out and investigate what is true and what is not. I remain extremely optomistic about the future... carmel
